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 to 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, conserving space and keeping outlets free. The cable's six-foot length gives you room to work with, letting you put your peripherals farther away from your computer when convenience, space, or décor demands.

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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best possible
Very high quality item at a very low price. I was impressed with the quality and packaging. I highly recommend it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazon USB 2.0 cables
A good product for the money. Better than the cables i have purchased at half the price (ie- cheap, and cheaply made)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - High Quality Cables!
Definitely liking these cables, especially at the price point. Kind of slick to have cables branded by Amazon, even if they're made off-shore. All the reviews about the quality are definitely on the mark and I definitely feel good about this purchase after having them in hand and using them.

I purchased this one in particular to replace the (ugly) gray, cheap-as-possible and of course too-short cable that came with my external HD enclosure. Talk about an upgrade. You don't know crappy ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - adequate USB cable

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Basic USB Cable
A basic PC to printer USB 2.0 cable at a great price. One tenth the cost of big box stores price for essentially the same cable. Don't pay for packaging and brand name when all you need is a cable that does what it is suppose to do.
