US135 • USB 2.0 A–B • 3M
UGREEN US135 10351 USB-A to USB-B Cable, 3m
A 3m USB-A host-to-USB-B peripheral cable for printers, scanners, MIDI devices and compatible audio equipment—480Mbps ceiling, no networking and no host-to-host use.
01 · Product introduction
Overview
UGREEN US135 10351 USB-A to USB-B Cable, 3m links a USB-A computer or host port to equipment with the standard square USB 2.0 Type-B device port. Typical categories include printers, scanners, fax devices, MIDI keyboards, digital pianos, DACs and audio interfaces.
The cable is passive and supports USB 2.0 data up to 480Mbps with backward operation for compatible USB 1.1/1.0 equipment. The peripheral can still require its own driver, application, class support or power supply.
Exact title, SKU, media and UGREEN Spain identify the 3m US135 variant. An inherited UGREEN India specification row says 1.5m; that conflicting row is rejected rather than blended into the exact 10351 description.
Exact-SKU evidence reconciliation
Seven of nine exact live images are used for connector identification, compatibility categories, 480Mbps, printer use, MIDI use, connector/jacket construction and daily office setup. Two absolute-comparison artworks are excluded as misleading. Exact European UGREEN records confirm SKU 10351, USB-B, 480Mbps, 3m and shielded/gold-plated construction.

04 · Capability
Signal, data or power performance
USB 2.0 has a 480Mbps signalling ceiling. Real file, print, scan or audio throughput is lower because of protocol overhead, peripheral speed, drivers, storage and application behaviour.
The cable can carry data and ordinary USB bus power. Many printers and scanners still require their own AC supply; the USB lead is not a universal device charger or power cable.
USB 1.1 and 1.0 peripherals can operate at their lower negotiated speeds when the host and device remain compatible. A USB 3.x Type-A host port normally falls back to USB 2.0 for this cable.
For MIDI or USB audio, latency and channel capability come from the interface, driver and software buffer—not from a 480Mbps label alone.
05 · Complete path
What the entire connection must support
The rectangular USB-A end belongs at the host; the square Type-B end belongs at the peripheral. This host-to-device topology is not a peer-to-peer bridge between two computers.
A hub can work when it supplies a stable USB path and adequate power, but direct connection is the best diagnostic baseline. Remove long extensions and daisy chains first.
Printers and scanners may need a model-specific driver or vendor utility. MIDI and audio products may be class compliant or may need ASIO/Core Audio/vendor software.
Network printing over Wi-Fi or Ethernet is a separate connection method. This cable does not configure an IP address or make a USB-only printer into a network printer.
06 · Behaviour
Standards, negotiation and operating roles
US135 is a USB 2.0 A-to-B cable. USB connector shape defines physical fit; USB version and device class determine data behaviour.
Gold-plated contact surfaces, oxygen-free/tinned copper descriptions, foil and braid shielding and a PVC jacket are construction details. They cannot make a peripheral exceed its interface limit.
Plug and play means the cable has no driver. It does not mean every printer, scanner, MIDI or audio device works without manufacturer software on every operating system.
The cable is not USB On-The-Go and does not assign host role to a phone or tablet. A USB-C computer needs a properly specified USB-C-to-USB-B cable or host adapter instead.
Ceiling, not a promise
A connector or standard label describes capability. The complete source, destination, cable route, software and negotiated mode determine the real result.

Setup and usability guidance
- Confirm the peripheral has the standard square USB 2.0 Type-B socket and that the 3m routed path reaches with a service loop.
- Install the manufacturer's current driver or utility first when its instructions require that sequence.
- Connect USB-B to the powered-off or idle peripheral, then connect USB-A directly to the host for initial testing.
- Power the printer, scanner, piano or audio interface from its required supply and allow the operating system to enumerate it.
- Choose the device in printer, scanner, MIDI or audio settings and perform a small test job before routing the cable permanently.
- Support both plugs, avoid tight bends and do not repeatedly move the device while the cable is connected.
10 · Host behaviour
Operating-system, driver and software guidance
The cable has no driver. Windows, macOS, Linux or another host OS must support the peripheral's USB class or exact manufacturer driver.
A printer can appear offline because of a paused queue, wrong default device or stale driver; a scanner can require its vendor application or permissions; MIDI/audio can require software input/output selection.
When a device is not detected, test a direct host port, remove the hub, restart the peripheral and compare with its known-good original cable before reinstalling software.
Software boundary
The passive product has no firmware or driver. Connected hosts, adapters and peripherals can still require exact-model software, permissions or settings.
11 · Verified scope
What this product does
- Provides a 3m USB-A male to USB 2.0 Type-B male host-to-peripheral link.
- Supports USB 2.0 signalling up to 480Mbps and compatible lower USB speeds.
- Carries ordinary USB bus power where the peripheral uses it.
- Works with multiple USB-B equipment categories when the device and host software are compatible.
- Uses shielded copper construction, a PVC jacket and moulded strain relief as shown in exact media.
12 · Clear boundaries
What this product does not do
- It is not a network/Ethernet cable and does not make a printer wireless or assign it an IP address.
- It is not USB-C, Micro-USB, Mini-B or the wider USB 3.0 Type-B connector.
- It must not be used to join two computers or two USB host ports.
- It does not guarantee driver-free operation for the connected peripheral.
- It does not supply the mains power required by most printers, scanners, amplifiers or powered audio devices.

Product-specific FAQ
Is UGREEN 10351 really 3m?
Yes. The exact title, SKU mapping, media and official UGREEN Spain record identify 10351 as 3m. A 1.5m value in one India field is inconsistent and is not used.
Which end connects to the computer?
The rectangular USB-A plug connects to the host computer; the square USB-B plug connects to the printer, scanner, MIDI device, DAC or compatible peripheral.
What is the maximum data speed?
Up to 480Mbps USB 2.0 signalling. Real print, scan, file and audio performance is lower and depends on the device, host, driver and application.
Does it work with every printer or scanner?
No. The exact model must have a standard USB-B device port and current driver or class support for the host operating system.
Can I use it with a MIDI keyboard or digital piano?
Yes when the instrument exposes USB-B for MIDI/data and the host supports its class or driver. Select the device inside the music application.
Can it connect a DAC or audio interface?
Yes for compatible USB-B audio equipment, subject to driver, power, sample-rate, channel and operating-system requirements.
Does it need a driver?
The cable does not. The connected printer, scanner, MIDI controller or audio interface may require the manufacturer's driver or application.
Can I use it as an Ethernet or printer-network cable?
No. It creates one local USB host-to-device link and has no network controller, IP configuration or wireless function.
Can it join two computers?
No. USB-A host-to-USB-B device wiring is not a peer-to-peer bridge. Never join two hosts with improvised adapters.
Why does the device charge or power but not transfer data?
The peripheral may expose power without its data mode, need a driver or be connected through a charge-only hub/port. Test a direct known-good host port.
What is included?
One UGREEN US135 10351 3m USB-A to USB-B cable. Printer, scanner, instrument, DAC, computer, hub and power supply are not included.
