StarTech.com USB 2.0, Male USB A to Male USB B, 480Mbps, 3m

StarTech's high-quality USB cable features a 2.0 male USB A connector at one end and a right angled 2.0 male USB B connector at the other, meaning you can charge and sync your devices at a reliably hi-speed and in a stressless position. The cable is the equivalent to 9.8ft in length, allowing you to position your devices where necessary.

The USB B connector is at a right angle, which means reduced stress and damage to the most vulnerable part of the cable. This is especially useful when ports are difficult to reach, particularly when connecting to printers or scanners that are usually set against walls. This more naturally fitting connection will provide enhanced longevity with this great StarTech product.

This connector is OS independent and is compatible with any device that fits the connector. Does not require any external software to be downloaded in order to use it. Simply plug in and play.

Being a StarTech product, not only does it include a lifetime warranty, but you can buy with confidence that the materials are of the highest standard and durability. The cable shield is a braided Aluminium-Mylar Foil and the jacket is made from hard-wearing PVC, protecting everything inside.

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is used to connect peripheral devices such as phones, keyboards, cameras, or printers and scanners. The connection serves to transfer power or data between your computer and a second attachment device so that the latter can perform its task. The USB was created to simplify connection by reducing the number of different connection types.

There are many different types of USB connectors out there and it's easy to get confused. To make it simple, let's split them into two categories: generation 1.0-2.0 and generation 3.0-3.1.

Generation 1.0 - 2.0 connection types include:

• USB A
• USB B
• USB Mini-A
• USB Mini-B
• USB Micro-A
• USB Micro-B

Generation 3.0 - 3.1 connection types include:

• USB A
• USB B
• USB Micro-B
• USB C

You can differentiate between 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 USB connectors by looking at the colour of the plastic inside the connection end. They will be either white, black or blue respectively.

A male connector will fit into a female counterpart.
