Microconnect USBAB10B-ACTIVE USB-kabel USB 2.0 10 m USB-B USB-A zwart

The MicroConnect USBAB10B-ACTIVE is an active 10 m USB 2.0 cable with a USB B connector for devices and a USB A connector for the host. It is designed to connect external USB devices with USB 2.0 Type B sockets—such as printers and scanners—to a USB host (computer, notebook, USB hub or wall plug with USB). The cable supports data transmission up to 0.48 Gbit/s and includes an integrated signal booster to prevent transmission loss over the extended length.

Advantages

This active USB cable provides stable data transfer over long distances thanks to the integrated booster. Gold-plated connector contacts improve durability and contact reliability. The 10 m length allows flexible placement of USB B devices relative to the host, while USB 2.0 compatibility ensures broad device support.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers with USB B ports to a computer or USB hub
• Connecting scanners with USB B ports over extended distance
• Linking other USB 2.0 Type B devices (e.g. some external drives or controllers) to a host
