This USB cable from the brand equip, manufacturer's part number 128650, is a standard A to standard B connection cable in USB 2.0 version. It is designed to connect computers (PC or Mac) or USB hubs with peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, or multifunction devices (MFP). The cable enables data transfer at a maximum speed of 480 Mbit/s (equivalent to 0.48 Gbit/s), which corresponds to the high-speed transfer rate specified in the USB 2.0 standard. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1, meaning it also works with older devices, although these will then only utilize the lower speed of the USB 1.1 standard.

Applications
This cable is primarily designed for use in office environments or for connecting computer systems with USB peripheral devices. Typical applications include connecting printers, scanners, or other devices that feature a USB-B port. The cable length of 1.8 meters provides sufficient flexibility for most workstations without being excessively long or cumbersome.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable features a USB Type-A connector at one end and a USB Type-B connector at the other end, both in straight form factor. The connection type is plug-to-plug, meaning it can be directly inserted into the corresponding ports on the devices. The contacts are gold-flashed and made of oxygen-free copper, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting connection. The cable has a transparent color with silver connectors, giving it a neutral, professional appearance.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable’s double shielding—both magnetic and with two protective layers—reduces electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference that could impair data transmission. This ensures error-free and stable data transfer, especially in environments with high electromagnetic interference. The cable gauge is 28 AWG, providing sufficient conductivity for data and power transmission. The plug-and-play functionality means no additional software installation is required; the device is automatically recognized upon connection.

Compatibility and Accessories
The cable is compatible with all devices supporting USB 2.0 standard A and B ports. It can be used with other USB peripheral devices that feature a USB-B port, such as printers or scanners. The cable is packaged in a zip bag from the brand equip, which protects the cable during transport and storage.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply inserting the USB-A connector into the USB port of the computer or hub and the USB-B connector into the corresponding device. No additional tools or configurations are required. The connection becomes active immediately once the cable is fully inserted.

Operational Advantages
Thanks to double shielding and the use of oxygen-free copper with gold-flashed contacts, the cable offers high reliability and long service life. The plug-and-play function reduces setup time, and backward compatibility with USB 1.1 expands its range of applications. The 1.8-meter cable length provides sufficient flexibility for typical workstation setups without being overly long or unwieldy.
