SuperSpeed peripheral connection
UGREEN US210 USB 3.0 A-to-B Cable, 1m (30753)
Connect compatible printers, scanners and USB 3.0 peripherals with the UGREEN 30753 1m USB-A to USB-B cable, supporting data up to 5Gbps.
Overview
UGREEN US210 model 30753 is a 1-metre SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data cable with a USB-A male connector at the computer end and a USB 3.0 Type-B male connector at the peripheral end. It is intended for printers, scanners, external drive enclosures, audio interfaces and other equipment that specifically has the wider, two-part USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle. With compatible USB 3.0 ports and hardware, it supports data transfer up to 5Gbps.
Key features
These capabilities apply to the exact UGREEN SKU and remain conditional on the connected equipment described below.
- USB 3.0 Type-A to USB 3.0 Type-B connection supports SuperSpeed data rates up to 5Gbps when both endpoints support USB 3.0.
- One-metre length suits close desktop connections and helps avoid excess cable around a printer, scanner or external enclosure.
- Gold-plated contacts and foil/braid shielding are specified to reduce corrosion and electrical interference.
- Plug-and-play cable operation requires no cable-specific driver; the connected printer, scanner or other device may still need its own software.
- Suitable for data communication with compatible peripherals; it is not the AC power lead for a printer or scanner.
Identify the SuperSpeed USB-B connector before ordering
USB 3.0 Type-B is taller and differently shaped from the common square USB 2.0 printer socket. Matching the connector is the essential pre-purchase check for this one-metre data cable.
The device must have the distinctive USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle. Do not force this plug into a standard USB 2.0 Type-B printer port.
The host end is USB-A. A USB-C-only computer requires a separate adapter or hub that supports the required USB data mode.
Up to 5Gbps requires USB 3.0 support at the computer, peripheral and any hub in between. A USB 2.0 host can reduce the negotiated speed.
This is principally a USB data cable. It does not replace a printer, scanner, dock or external-drive power supply where that device requires separate power.
Use scenarios
Connect a desktop or laptop USB-A port to a nearby USB 3.0 Type-B printer, scanner or multifunction device.
Connect a compatible USB 3.0 external hard-drive enclosure or desktop storage dock to a computer.
Use with a USB 3.0 Type-B audio interface, DAC, camera or industrial peripheral whose manual specifies this connector.
Replace a lost or damaged one-metre data lead after matching both endpoint connector shapes.
Setup and usability guidance
Inspect the peripheral port before purchase. USB 3.0 Type-B is the wider, two-section socket and is not the same shape as the common square USB 2.0 Type-B printer socket.
Connect the USB 3.0 Type-B plug to the peripheral without forcing it, then connect USB-A to the computer.
Power the printer, scanner, drive or other peripheral using its own required power supply.
Install the peripheral manufacturer’s driver or application if the operating system requests it.
For the highest transfer rate, connect directly to a USB 3.0-capable host port and confirm that the peripheral also supports SuperSpeed.
Compatible devices and systems
Compatible with computers or hubs that provide a USB-A data port and peripherals fitted with a USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle. The cable family is used with selected printers, scanners, multifunction devices, external storage enclosures, cameras and audio equipment. Brand names alone do not confirm fit: verify the exact port diagram in the device manual. A standard USB 2.0 Type-B device requires a different cable with the smaller square Type-B plug.
What this product does
- Creates a wired USB data link between one USB-A host and one USB 3.0 Type-B peripheral.
- Supports up to 5Gbps when the host port, peripheral and drivers all operate at USB 3.0 speed.
- Carries normal USB bus signals and limited bus power defined by the connected ports.
What this product does not do
- It does not fit a Micro-USB, Mini-USB, USB-C or ordinary USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle.
- It does not serve as the mains power cable for a printer, scanner or external drive.
- It does not make a USB 2.0 device transfer at USB 3.0 speed.
- It is not a USB-A-to-USB-A cable and should not be used to connect two computers.
What to do
- Compare the product connector image with the peripheral socket before ordering.
- Use the device’s own power adapter where required and install its official driver.
- Connect directly to the host when diagnosing speed or disconnect problems.
- Eject external storage safely before unplugging the cable.
What not to do
- Do not force the USB 3.0 Type-B plug into the smaller square USB 2.0 Type-B socket.
- Do not rely on the cable to power a printer or high-power external drive.
- Do not bend the cable sharply at the plug, crush it or route it across a walkway.
- Do not expect the 5Gbps signalling ceiling to equal the observed file-copy rate; protocol overhead and device speed reduce real throughput.
Warnings and limitations
Connector fit is the most important pre-purchase check. Many printers use USB 2.0 Type-B, not the USB 3.0 Type-B connector on this cable.
The 5Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 signalling maximum. Storage media, controllers, files and software determine real transfer speed.
A cable can be plug-and-play while the connected device still requires drivers or firmware.
Disconnect external storage only after the operating system says it is safe to prevent data corruption.

Product-specific FAQ
Will this fit every printer?
No. It fits only a printer or other peripheral with the wider USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle. Many printers use the smaller square USB 2.0 Type-B socket.
How can I identify USB 3.0 Type-B?
The receptacle has the traditional Type-B section plus an additional raised SuperSpeed section, creating a wider two-part shape. Compare the device manual and listing images.
Is the maximum speed really 5Gbps?
Up to 5Gbps is the USB 3.0 signalling rate. Actual file transfers are lower and depend on the host, peripheral, storage and software.
Can it power my printer?
No. Use the printer’s own AC power cable. This lead provides the USB data connection.
Will it work from a USB 2.0 computer port?
The USB-A end can physically connect, but the link will operate at the mutually supported lower speed. The peripheral end still must accept USB 3.0 Type-B.
Does the cable need a driver?
No cable driver is required. The printer, scanner or other peripheral may require its manufacturer’s driver.
Can I use it with an external hard drive?
Yes, only if the enclosure has a USB 3.0 Type-B socket and its power requirements are met. Many portable drives use Micro-B or USB-C instead.
Can I connect two PCs with it?
No. It has USB-A at one end and peripheral Type-B at the other and is not a computer-to-computer transfer cable.
What should I do if the device disconnects?
Reseat both ends, try a direct USB 3.0 host port, confirm the peripheral’s power supply and driver, and test the device with its approved cable.
Is this a USB-C cable?
No. It has USB-A on the computer end and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type-B on the peripheral end. No USB-C adapter is built in.
