Product Description The USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B Cable is the essential communication link for classic microcontroller development boards. This high-quality blue cable is designed specifically to connect your Arduino Uno or Arduino Mega 2560 to your computer's USB port for programming, debugging, and serial data monitoring. Built with multi-layer shielding, it ensures stable and error-free data transmission even in environments with high electromagnetic interference from motors or power supplies. Beyond robotics, it is a universal standard for connecting peripherals like 3D printers, CNC controllers, and traditional paper printers to PCs and laptops.
Key Highlights
Stable Data Sync: Optimized for high-speed USB 2.0 data rates, ensuring fast code uploads and consistent serial communication with your Arduino IDE.
Superior Noise Rejection: Features a double-shielded design (foil and braid) to prevent data corruption caused by external electrical noise in workshop environments.
Flexible & Durable: The translucent blue PVC jacket is both flexible for easy routing and durable enough to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging.
Secure Fit: Precision-engineered connectors provide a tight, wiggle-free connection in both the computer and the development board, preventing accidental disconnections during firmware updates.
Universal Standard: Compatible with all devices utilizing a USB Type-B port, including RAMPS 1.4/1.6 controllers and standard desktop printers.

Installation Tip from Robogears Always ensure the cable is plugged in firmly at both ends. If the Arduino IDE "Tools > Port" menu is greyed out, try a different USB port on your computer or ensure your board's serial drivers (like CH340 or 16U2) are installed. While this cable provides 5V power to your board, remember that a single USB port typically provides a maximum of 500mA. If your project involves high-torque servos or large LED matrices, we recommend using an external DC power adapter alongside this USB cable to avoid damaging your computer's USB port.
