Key Features & Benefits

• USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Performance: Transfers data at speeds up to 5 Gbps—ten times faster than USB 2.0—enabling rapid document printing, quick scanner operation, and efficient large file transfers to external storage devices.
• Universal Type-B Compatibility: Connects computers to printers, scanners, external hard drives, audio interfaces, and other peripherals with USB Type-B ports, making this the standard cable for most office and creative equipment.
• 1.5-Meter Practical Length: Provides enough reach to position printers on shelves or adjacent desks without cable tension, while avoiding excessive slack that creates desk clutter or cable management challenges.
• Backward Compatible Design: Works seamlessly with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices and ports, ensuring your newer computer can connect to older peripherals without requiring separate legacy cables.
• Gold-Plated Connectors: Corrosion-resistant gold plating on both USB-A and USB-B connectors maintains stable electrical contact and prevents signal degradation from humidity or repeated plug cycles over years of use.

Use Cases & Applications

For Students: Students can connect dorm room printers to laptops for printing assignments, research papers, and presentation handouts without relying on crowded campus print centers. The Vention cable links multifunction printers with scanning capabilities to personal computers for digitizing textbook pages, notes, and documents. Music production students use this cable to connect MIDI controllers, audio interfaces, and synthesizers with USB Type-B ports to recording laptops. Photography students benefit when connecting cameras or card readers that use Type-B interfaces to computers for rapid image transfers during editing sessions. The 1.5-meter length accommodates typical dorm desk arrangements where printers sit on adjacent shelves or nearby furniture.

For Business Environments: Office workstations use this cable to connect desktop computers to networked or local printers positioned on credenzas, printer stands, or shared equipment areas. Accounting departments link document scanners to workstations for processing invoices, receipts, and financial records with USB 3.0 speeds that reduce scanning time. Design studios and creative agencies connect professional photo scanners and large-format printers to workstations using this standard cable type. IT departments maintain inventory of these cables for connecting external backup drives with Type-B ports to servers for data archiving. Reception areas use this cable to link visitor badge printers or label makers to front-desk computers.

Additional Applications: Home offices connect all-in-one printers to desktop towers or laptop docking stations positioned within the 1.5-meter reach on L-shaped desks or compact workspaces. Musicians and audio producers link audio interfaces, DJ controllers, and digital mixing consoles with USB Type-B connections to recording computers in home studios. Hobbyist 3D printer operators connect printer control boards to computers for transferring G-code files and monitoring print jobs. Small businesses use this cable to connect barcode scanners, receipt printers, and POS hardware with Type-B interfaces to point-of-sale computers. The Vention USB 3.0 cable suits photographers connecting older professional cameras or tethering equipment that still relies on Type-B connections rather than newer USB-C interfaces, with the SuperSpeed capability supporting rapid raw image file transfers during studio shoots.
