The Right Connector at Each End

Use the USB-A end at a suitable computer, hub or power source and match the USB 2.0 Type-B end to the connected device. This is the ordinary USB 2.0 Type-B connector, rather than the taller USB 3.0 Type-B or a USB-C plug. Check the socket shape before connecting, and insert the plugs straight without forcing a connector into a different USB type.

A 480 Mbps USB Data Link

The cable provides a USB connection rated up to 480 Mbps. This describes the link capability rather than a guaranteed file-copy speed. The host port, connected device, storage performance and operating conditions determine the actual transfer result, so use a compatible data-capable port when moving files or communicating with a peripheral.

Power and Charging Compatibility

Charging behaviour depends on the connected device and the output capability of the USB source. A cable does not create additional power beyond the source or add a charging protocol that the connected equipment lacks. Match the charger, device and cable together, and use the device’s charging indication to confirm that the intended charging connection has been established.

Cable Length and Desk Placement

The 1.8 m length allows a route between nearby equipment without changing the cable’s connector arrangement. Allow some slack at both sockets and include the path around a monitor, laptop stand or desk edge. Avoid tight bends and tension at the plugs when moving connected equipment.

Construction for Everyday Connections

Belkin’s premium USB printer-cable design provides a direct Type-A to Type-B connection for compatible USB equipment. Support the connector housing when plugging in or disconnecting the cable rather than pulling on the wire. Route the lead clear of chair wheels, sharp edges and moving furniture, and keep the connection accessible if the connected device is frequently removed from the desk.
