SuperSpeed USB-A to Standard-B Connection
USB 3.0 Printer Cable with Straight or Angled Type-B Ends
Connect a compatible SuperSpeed USB-B peripheral to your USB-A host with a cable shaped for the installation. BC-DAB002 offers a straight Type-B plug or up, down, left, and right angled options, helping equipment builders route the connection around covers, neighboring plugs, and limited rear clearance.
This USB 3.0 printer cable is for devices with the larger USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle. It does not fit the smaller USB 2.0 Standard-B socket found on many printers. A clear photo of the port is enough to start a selection discussion if you are unsure which version your equipment uses.

Actual data throughput depends on the host, device, and complete connection. A faster cable does not make a printer engine run faster. For a device with a USB 2.0 Type-B port, choose the USB 2.0 printer cable instead.
Choose the Type-B Exit Around Your Equipment
A straight plug is convenient where there is clear space behind the device. An angled Type-B plug can guide the cable toward a side channel or away from a cover, but the right choice depends on how the receptacle is installed.
Send a photo looking directly at the device port, and mark where you want the cable to exit. Include nearby connectors, recess dimensions, and the available clearance. We can review the housing option before you commit to a sample.
Keep room for the molded housing and a relaxed cable bend. An angled connector changes the exit direction; it doesn’t eliminate the need for clearance or strain relief. Check the selected sample with the enclosure closed and the equipment in its normal position.
Yes. Identify each Type-B housing, required length and quantity separately. We can review the configurations in one inquiry while keeping their specifications distinct. Tell us if each version needs separate packaging or a customer part number.
Photos of both plugs and the equipment port are a useful starting point. Include any printed cable reference and the overall route length. If the housing must fit a tight recess, a sample or dimensioned drawing may be needed before production.
Tell us the destination market and the specific documentation your project requires. We will confirm the available evidence for the quoted assembly. Do not assume that a generic USB 3.0 description establishes certification or regulatory compliance for every configuration.
Send the connector arrangement, length, quantity, and intended equipment, plus any labeling or packaging requirements. If a detail is undecided, describe the installation, and we can review the options with you. Price and delivery depend on the agreed configuration and order.
Samples can be requested for fit and functional testing. Sample cost, freight, and availability are confirmed with the quotation; a sample request does not automatically mean free supply.
Choose a USB 3.0 Printer Cable for the Whole Connection
The right cable starts with the peripheral port, then the host connection, and the route between them. A connector that fits and a connection that operates at the intended speed are related, but separate, checks.
Identify the Standard-B receptacle
A USB 3.0 Standard-B plug has an additional upper section and isn’t interchangeable with a USB 2.0 Standard-B plug in either direction. A USB 2.0 Standard-B cable fits a USB 3.0 Standard-B receptacle for a USB 2.0 connection, but the larger USB 3.0 plug won’t fit into a USB 2.0-only Standard-B receptacle. Check the port outline, not simply the word USB in the equipment description.
Check the host path for the speed you need
The host port, any intervening hub, and the peripheral must support the intended operating mode. Connecting through a slower hub can limit the link even when the cable is a SuperSpeed version. Use the device documentation or host diagnostic tools to check the negotiated connection during evaluation; connector color by itself is not a reliable performance test.
Balance length with routing convenience
Measure along the planned route and avoid unnecessary adapter joints or excess cable. Share longer-run requirements before ordering rather than assuming that adding a passive extension preserves the same performance. If the installation needs a socket fixed to an enclosure, the USB 3.0 Type-B panel-mount cable is a different mechanical solution that should be evaluated as part of the complete link.
Evaluate with representative data and equipment
Use the actual printer, scanner or other compatible peripheral and its normal driver. Test the functions you rely on, including reconnection after sleep and sustained data transfers where relevant. A successful small print job alone does not establish a cable assembly’s maximum throughput.
Keep the approved configuration identifiable
For equipment production, record the selected Type-B housing, length, and cable reference after sample approval. Tell us about labeling or packaging needs before the order is finalized, especially when straight and angled versions will be stored together. This helps your assembly team select the intended cable without comparing connector shapes at every workstation.
You can begin with an equipment model, a port photo, and an approximate quantity. We will help identify the configuration questions that matter for your application before quoting.
