USB Connection for Convenience
USB 2.0 (which is also backward compatible) has now become the standard for a large array of devices, ranging from external hard drives to sound cards to digital cameras.

The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable supports the full 480-Mbps transmission speed of the USB 2.0 standard. Additionally, it supports the transfer of power according to the USB 2.0 standard. Devices that use USB for power don't need a separate power supply, conserving space and keeping outlets free. The cable's six-foot length gives you room to work with, letting you put your peripherals farther away from your computer when convenience, space, or décor demands.

This AmazonBasics USB 2.0 Cable has a Male A connection on one end and a Male B connection on the other. Typically, the Male A is connected to the computer and the Male B is connected to the source device, such as the printer or external hard drive. Check your device manuals to make sure you have the right connectors.

Shielding Maintains Signal Quality
The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 cable features shielding that provides protection against noise from electromagnetic and radio-frequency signals, keeping your signal clear with less loss of bandwidth for higher performance.

Gold-Plated Connectors for Performance
The cable also features gold-plated connectors that resist corrosion for signal purity.

I bought this cable to connect a laser printer to my computer. It is pretty well-made and the price is great. There is no need to buy more expensive brands.
