Specifications

Secure USB 2.0 Data Link

This cable uses a USB Type-A plug and a USB Type-B plug. It supports USB 2.0 data rates for standard peripherals. In practice, this suits printers, scanners, and some external enclosures. However, it does not carry video or power delivery beyond basic USB specs. Because the connectors are standard, fit is predictable for compatible devices. Also, the 2-metre length reduces strain on ports.

Reliable Length for Desk Setups

The 2-metre length provides reach for typical UK desk arrangements. So you can place a printer or scanner away from your PC. This reduces cable clutter and avoids port stress. However, longer runs can affect signal integrity in some environments. For this length, USB 2.0 performance remains stable for most peripherals. Also, the grey jacket helps differentiate it from black cables.

Durable Grey Jacket Finish

The grey jacket offers a practical, low-glare finish for office use. It resists visible dust better than black in some settings. Because colour coding matters in shared spaces, this helps quick identification. However, the outer material is not listed here here. You should confirm jacket type and bend rating if durability is critical. Also, check connector plating if corrosion resistance is a priority.

Wide Device Compatibility

The cable connects USB Type-B devices to standard USB-A ports. For example, many printers and scanners use USB Type-B. This makes it a common choice for legacy and modern peripherals. However, some devices need USB 3.0 or Type-C. So verify your device’s port type and standard before ordering. Also, confirm the host port supports USB 2.0.
