UGREEN 5 m USB-A to USB-B Printer Cable (10352)

Overview

The UGREEN 10352 connects a printer or other device with a square USB-B socket to a computer up to 5 m away, for a printer placed a few metres from the computer. It is a USB 2.0 cable with data at up to 480 Mbps, shielded along its length, with gold-plated connectors. The cable needs no driver of its own.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a printer-style peripheral with a USB 2.0 Type-B socket connected to a computer, powered hub or other USB host with a USB-A port.
• Not for USB 3.0 Type-B: that wider two-part SuperSpeed socket needs a different plug.
• Not USB-C, Mini-USB, Micro-USB, Lightning or Ethernet, and not a Wi-Fi adapter: it does not make an offline printer wireless.

Key features

• USB-A male to USB 2.0 Type-B male, 5 m.
• USB 2.0 data up to 480 Mbps; backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0 devices at their lower rates.
• Flexible black PVC jacket, gold-plated connector surfaces, copper conductors with multiple shielding.
• Rated for more than 10,000 insertion and bend cycles.
• No cable-specific driver.

What else you need

A computer or powered hub with a USB-A port and a peripheral with a USB 2.0 Type-B socket, plus the peripheral’s own software. Use one direct 5 m run; the manufacturer advises against daisy-chaining.

Before you buy

• Do not force the plug into the wider USB 3.0 Type-B socket.
• It carries only the ordinary USB bus power the interface needs; it is not a device-charging cable.
• No display, HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C Alt Mode video.
• Keep the cable dry and away from sharp edges, wheels, doors and hot equipment, and do not coil the excess tightly around a power adapter or high-current mains lead.
• A matching socket does not guarantee that the peripheral offers a compatible USB function.
