USB cables and cords come in a variety of configurations, and different cables are intended for different kinds of devices. These days it's important to have different kinds of USB cables on hand, because there's no telling which one you might need for a fun new piece of technology. Let's learn about the kinds of USB cords available at Cables.com.

USB Cables for Different Devices

How can you be sure you've got the right USB cable for your new device? These days it's a good idea to have multiple options on hand, and maybe even duplicates so you're covered whether you need to connect at home, in your car, or at the office. Cables.com has a variety of USB data cables for different options of configurations available at competitive prices, so let's take a look at what's in stock.

Cables.com carries a variety of USB 2.0 and 3.0 connectors compatible with tech items like printers and digital cameras for linking up with your laptop or home PC. USB 2.0 offers a maximum speed of 480 MBPS, while USB 3.0 cables are up to ten times faster with a maximum speed of 5 GBPS. While these are great speeds, you're probably more interested in which USB cords are compatible with your device. While every manufacturer is different, some of the more common pairings are:

USB A Male to B Male, seen most often for use with printers

USB A Male to A Female extender cables - these are used to connect two separate USB cables for added length up to 5 meters or 16 feet

and USB A Male to A Male, which are used between two computers in order to facilitate data transfer

So let's start with a standard USB 2.0 A Male to B Male connector. Though this is a more frequent pairing, Cables.com is able to offer these USB cords in lengths even longer than a standard 16 feet. This is because Cables.com's USB connecting cables are made with heavier gauge wire than other brands might use. You can also purchase 33 feet of 10M USB 2.0 active cable, which boasts a 28 awg conductor for data and a 24 awg conductor for power. 

33ft 10M USB 2.0 A Male to B Male Active Cable.

Here at Cables.com you can find a USB3.1 Generation 2 A Male to C Male at a length of 3 feet. Need something shorter, or longer? Remember that Cables.com also offers Custom Cables, allowing you to design your own set-up based on your particular needs. 

We offer USB Type C to VGA Female adapters, as well as USB 2.0 A Male to Male Micro USB cables. Cables.com stocks a variety of USB Extender and Repeater Cables, including a USB Line Extender Over Cat5 cable capable of extending up to 150 feet.  

What about USB Accessories? After all, USB devices aren't limited to flash drives. Cables.com carries a number of USB hubs and switches, like our 4Port USB2.0 Hub with Power Supply included. We've even got a 10-port USB drive hub! You can choose between a USB Manual 2 Way Switch or a 4 Way Switch

All these cables and more are available at competitive prices at Cables.com. Not sure exactly what it is you need? We're here to help! You can Contact Us using our web form, or reach out to one of our helpful Customer Service reps at 1-800-372-3725.  We look forward to hearing from you!
