Frequently Asked Questions

What devices use a USB A to USB B cable? USB 3.0 Type-B is commonly found on industrial equipment, external drive enclosures, printers, scanners, audio interfaces, and other professional devices. The USB-A end normally connects to the host, while the USB-B end connects to the peripheral.
Is a USB 3.0 Type-B connector the same as a USB 2.0 Type-B connector? No. A USB 3.0 Type-B connector has an additional section for the SuperSpeed signals. A USB 2.0 Type-B plug can fit into a USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle and operate at USB 2.0 speeds, but a USB 3.0 Type-B plug will not fit into a USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle.
How long can a USB A to USB B cable be? Newnex USB 3.0 A-to-B cables are available up to 16.4 ft (5 m). For longer distances, use an active USB extension cable or USB extender solution rather than joining multiple passive cables.
Are locking USB A to USB B cables available? Yes. Newnex offers locking USB-A to USB-B cable options for industrial equipment and other applications where vibration, movement, or accidental disconnection is a concern.
Will a USB A to USB B cable work with a USB 2.0 device? Only if the device has a USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle. A USB 3.0 Type-B plug does not physically fit a USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle. However, when connected to a USB 3.0 Type-B port, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 data at up to 480 Mbps.
What speed does a USB 3.0 A to B cable support? Newnex USB 3.0 A-to-B cables support USB 3.2 Gen 1 at up to 5 Gbps, with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
Can I use a USB 2.0 A-to-B cable with a USB 3.0 device? Yes. If the USB 3.0 device uses a Type-B receptacle, a USB 2.0 Type-B plug will fit and the connection will operate at USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps. To get USB 3.0 5 Gbps performance, use a USB 3.0 A-to-B cable.
