Cable For Arduino UNO/MEGA (USB A to B) 1.5 Meter, USB To Printer Cable

Product Description The USB A to B 1.5 Meter Cable is a high-quality data and power transmission cord designed specifically for microcontrollers like the Arduino UNO and MEGA 2560. Featuring a standard USB-A connector on one end and a square USB-B connector on the other, this cable is also the industry standard for connecting printers and scanners to computers. The 1.5-meter length provides the ideal balance between reach and signal integrity, making it perfect for benchtop electronics prototyping where a shorter cable might limit movement. Built with multi-layer shielding, it ensures error-free data synchronization and stable power delivery during high-speed firmware uploads.

Key Features

• Universal Microcontroller Support: The primary cable required for programming and powering Arduino UNO, MEGA, and MIDI controllers.

• High-Speed Data Sync: Fully compliant with USB 2.0 specifications, supporting data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps for rapid code deployment.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Reinforced strain relief at both connector ends prevents wire breakage during frequent plugging and unplugging.

• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No drivers required; works instantly with Windows, macOS, and Linux for all USB-B peripheral devices.

• Double Shielding: Internal foil and braid shielding reduce EMI/RFI interference, maintaining signal purity over the full 1.5-meter length.

Technical Details

• Connector A: Standard Male USB Type-A (connects to PC, Laptop, or 5V Power Adapter).

• Connector B: Standard Male USB Type-B (connects to Arduino, Printer, or CNC Shield).

• Conductor Material: 100% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) for maximum conductivity and minimal resistance.

• Insulation Resistance: High-grade PVC insulation prevents short circuits and ensures long-term cable flexibility.

• Current Capacity: Optimized to handle up to 2A of current, sufficient for powering Arduino boards with multiple attached sensors.

• Twisted Pair Construction: Data lines are twisted to minimize cross-talk and ensure reliable high-speed communication.

• Nickel-Plated Plugs: Corrosion-resistant connectors ensure a secure fit and durable contact points over thousands of cycles.

• Jacket Durability: High-tensile PVC jacket protects the internal cores from abrasion and chemical exposure in workshop environments.

• Standardized Impedance: Matched 90-ohm impedance for the data pairs to meet strict USB 2.0 signaling requirements.

• Hot-Swapping Support: Safe to connect and disconnect while devices are powered on without risk of data corruption.

• Backward Compatibility: Works perfectly with older USB 1.1 ports and devices while maintaining stability.

• Length Optimization: 1.5m (approx. 5 feet) length is designed to reduce signal attenuation common in lower-quality long-distance cables.

• Over-molded Connectors: Integrated molding prevents the housing from separating from the cable under stress.

• Low Signal Latency: Essential for real-time serial monitoring and debugging in the Arduino Serial Plotter.

• Ferrite Core Ready: The cable diameter is compatible with standard snap-on ferrite beads for additional noise suppression in high-EMI environments.
