A print job that finishes the first time is the whole point of this braided USB printer cable. The nylon jacket, aluminum connector shells and multi-layer shielding keep the link seated and steady on a busy desk. It fits USB-B printers, scanners, fax machines and all-in-one devices.
Durable braided USB printer cable with multi-layer shielding for a reliable connection
- Connecting a computer to a USB-B printer or scanner
- Cable wear at the connector from frequent bending
- Interference and unstable data transfer
Print Jobs That Finish the First Time
Tired of stalled jobs and plugs that fray from daily bending? Switch to a braided, shielded cable that holds its connection on your desk.
Every Part Built to Hold Its Connection

Connectors that resist wear
The aluminum alloy shells are firm in the hand and sit solidly on the braid. The strain-relief collar takes the bend at the plug, so a tug on the cable or a nudge to the printer lands on the collar instead of the wires inside. That is where bare-plastic cables start to split.

Shielding that keeps data steady
Aluminum foil and a metal winding shield wrap the tinned copper conductors. Two layers of shielding cut down on interference from nearby power supplies and other desk electronics, so a long print job is less likely to stall halfway through a page stack.
One Cable Between You and a Stalled Job

The Job That Stalled
The print run dies on page forty of a stack that had to leave by five. The plug has wobbled loose again because someone bumped the desk, and the printer throws its error without warning. You re-plug, re-send the file and wait for the queue to clear, knowing the same thing will happen next week.

Why Cheap Cables Fail
Bundled cables with bare plastic jackets and a single foil wrap fray right where the plug meets the cable. The connector takes every tug and bend, and the thin shielding leaves the data line exposed to interference. Most people only notice after the third failed job.

A Cable Built to Stay Put
This one swaps bare plastic for a nylon braided jacket, aluminum connector shells and a strain-relief connector. Multi-layer shielding keeps the link steady, so the USB-B end stays seated and the printer, scanner or fax keeps talking to the computer from one job to the next.

Questions and answers
This cable is USB 2.0, Type-A male to Type-B male. The 3.0 in some listings does not describe this cable. Most printers, scanners and all-in-one machines with a USB-B port run at USB 2.0 speeds, so the cable matches the port. Check your device's port spec only if it needs faster transfers.
The USB-B end plugs into the device and the USB-A end plugs into your computer. It is sold in 1m, 1.5m and 2m lengths. Measure the gap between the computer and the printer, then choose the length with some slack so the cable is never pulled tight.
A bundled cable with a bare plastic plug tends to fray at the connector, and the replacement or the reprinted stack costs more than the upgrade. A braided jacket and aluminum shells keep the plug seated through regular bending, so one cable can last the life of the printer.
Yes. This cable uses aluminum foil and a metal winding shield over the tinned copper conductors. The extra layers reduce interference from nearby desk electronics, which is the usual cause of unstable transfers on a cheap single-wrap cable.
Yes. It is made for printers, fax machines, scanners and all-in-one machines that use a USB-B port. If your scanner or all-in-one has a USB-B input, the cable fits the same way it fits a printer.
