Product Description

The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to B-Male Cable with Gold-Plated Connector gives you full performance with all your USB devices.

USB 2.0 A-Male to B-Male Cable

USB Connection for Convenience
USB 2.0 (which is also backward compatible) has now become the standard for a large array of devices, ranging from external hard drives over sound cards to digital cameras.

The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable supports the full 480-Mbps transmission speed of the USB 2.0 standard. Additionally, it supports the transfer of power according to the USB 2.0 standard. Devices that use USB for power don't need a separate power supply, which conserves space and keeps outlets free. The cable's length of 6 ft / 1.8 m gives you room to work, letting you put your peripherals further away from your computer when convenience, space or décor demand it.

This AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable has a Male A connection on one end and a Male B connection on the other. Typically, the Male A is connected to the computer and the Male B is connected to the source device, such as the printer or external hard drive. Check your device manuals to make sure you have the right connectors.

Shielding Maintains Signal Quality
The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 cable features shielding that provides protection against noise from electromagnetic and radio-frequency signals, keeping your signal clear with less loss of bandwidth for higher performance.

Gold-Plated Connectors for Performance
The cable also features gold-plated connectors that resist corrosion for signal purity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect cable but packaging needs sorting out, 6 July 2010
This review is from: AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to B-Male Cable 6 Feet / 1.8 m (Personal Computers)
Not a lot to say in addition to the reviews already posted. Good cable - does the job. I've used it to connect my computer to a printer and the length is adequate for a small desk, without getting tangled wires. It is great value - way cheaper than on the High Street.

Packaging is described as 'frustration free' - but the box is too large to fit through a letterbox. I expected it to be delivered in a padded envelope. If I wasn't in to take the delivery, I'd have had to rearrange the delivery time or trek down to my local post office depot - that would not be 'frustration free'. Hopefully, Amazon will change the packaging in the near future.

This review is from: AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to B-Male Cable 6 Feet / 1.8 m (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Not much to say about this item, except that it is an A/B USB cable with a 1.8M length. The price is very good for a cable with gold-plated connectors: you'd expent to pay several times as much for a brand-name cable with the same spec. Packaging is certainly easy to open, although the box seemed a little large for the purpose. Not a criticism, though. This is an excellent product. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good cable, bad packaging and warranty, 12 Feb 2010
By 
David Russell (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to B-Male Cable 6 Feet / 1.8 m (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
Well there isn't a lot one can write about a USB cable. If you have a device which needs a USB A to B cable (most likely a printer or external hard drive) then this cable will be of great use to you, otherwise it won't. The contacts look like they might be gold-plated, and the general finish of the cable is quite good.

The 'frustration-free packaging' is of course nothing of the kind. It might be more friendly to the environment, but it is certainly not more friendly to the paying customer. Amazon's standard delivery boxes are far easier to open.

The really objectionable thing about this is the warranty: it is only valid in the United States. Despite paying significantly more for this cable than Amazon's US customers, apparently we are not judged worthy of having the same protection against defects.
