Two-metre SuperSpeed USB
UGREEN US210 USB 3.0 A-to-B Cable, 2m (10372)
Connect compatible printers, scanners and USB 3.0 peripherals with the UGREEN 10372 2m USB-A to USB-B cable, supporting data up to 5Gbps.
Overview
UGREEN US210 model 10372 is a 2-metre USB 3.0 data cable with USB-A male at the host end and the wider 9-pin USB 3.0 Type-B male connector at the peripheral end. It connects compatible printers, scanners, external enclosures and specialist USB equipment to a computer, with a theoretical SuperSpeed rate up to 5Gbps. The peripheral must have a USB 3.0 Type-B receptacle; this plug does not fit the smaller square USB 2.0 Type-B socket used by many printers.
Key features
These capabilities apply to the exact UGREEN SKU and remain conditional on the connected equipment described below.
- Up to 5Gbps USB 3.0 signalling when host and peripheral both support SuperSpeed.
- Two-metre reach for equipment placed beside, below or across a desk from the computer.
- Gold-plated connector contacts and foil/braid shielding are specified for stable data transmission.
- Plug-and-play cable operation; device-specific drivers may still be needed.
- Designed as a data connection, not as the printer or scanner’s AC power lead.
Match the two-metre cable to a SuperSpeed USB-B device
This cable uses the larger USB 3.0 Type-B peripheral connector, not the familiar square USB 2.0 printer plug. Confirm the socket and the required reach before purchase. Choose this two-metre model when extra reach is genuinely needed; the related one-metre SKU 30753 uses the same connector family and 5Gbps class. Extra reach does not change the host-port, peripheral-socket or separate-power requirements.
The USB 3.0 Type-B plug connects to a compatible printer, scanner, dock, hub or external-drive enclosure with the matching SuperSpeed receptacle.
The straight USB-A plug connects to the computer or a compatible USB hub. A USB-C-only host needs a separate data-capable adapter.
The published 5Gbps maximum requires USB 3.0 capability across the full link. An older host, hub or peripheral can negotiate a lower USB speed.
Use the additional reach without coiling the cable tightly or suspending a powered peripheral by its connector. Provide separate device power whenever the equipment requires it.
Use scenarios
Connect a USB 3.0 Type-B printer or scanner positioned up to two metres from a computer.
Link a powered desktop hard-drive enclosure or docking device with the matching SuperSpeed Type-B port.
Connect compatible audio interfaces, DACs, cameras or industrial peripherals after checking the manual.
Replace an exact USB 3.0 A-to-B lead while keeping extra routing slack compared with the 1m family variant.
Setup and usability guidance
Compare the device socket with the listing image: USB 3.0 Type-B has a wider two-part outline.
Power the peripheral with its own required supply, then insert Type-B without forcing it.
Connect USB-A directly to a USB 3.0 host port for the best available speed.
Install the peripheral manufacturer’s driver or utility when required.
For storage, use the operating system’s eject function before disconnecting.
Compatible devices and systems
Works with USB-A host ports and peripherals that specifically accept USB 3.0 Type-B. Supported equipment can include selected printers, scanners, multifunction devices, external drive enclosures, cameras and audio interfaces. Windows/macOS compatibility depends mainly on the peripheral and its driver because the cable itself is passive. USB-C-only computers need a data-capable USB-C-to-USB-A adapter.
What this product does
- Creates one USB host-to-peripheral data connection over a 2m cable.
- Negotiates USB 3.0 or a lower supported host speed with compatible equipment.
- Carries standard USB bus signalling and limited port power.
What this product does not do
- It does not fit USB 2.0 Type-B, Micro-B, Mini-B, USB-C or Lightning sockets.
- It does not power a printer, scanner or externally powered drive from the mains.
- It does not turn USB 2.0 hardware into a 5Gbps device.
- It is not designed to connect two computers or two USB hosts.
What to do
- Verify the exact port shape and two-metre route before ordering.
- Use the peripheral’s correct power adapter and official driver.
- Connect directly when troubleshooting speed or recognition.
- Keep the cable away from pinch points and provide slack near both plugs.
What not to do
- Do not force the larger SuperSpeed Type-B plug into a square printer socket.
- Do not expect the theoretical 5Gbps ceiling to equal real file-copy performance.
- Do not unplug active storage without ejecting it.
- Do not pull by the cable, crush it under furniture or route it where people trip.
Warnings and limitations
Many products advertised as printers use USB 2.0 Type-B; brand or device category alone does not confirm this cable fits.
5Gbps is a theoretical signalling ceiling. Controllers, media and software determine real performance.
Two metres must include bends and service slack; avoid tension on device ports.
A plug-and-play cable does not remove a printer/scanner driver requirement.

Product-specific FAQ
Will this fit a normal square printer port?
Usually not. It requires the wider USB 3.0 Type-B socket; a square USB 2.0 Type-B printer port needs a different cable.
What is different from SKU 30753?
Both are US210 USB 3.0 A-to-B cables; SKU 10372 is 2m while SKU 30753 is 1m.
Can it reach 5Gbps?
Up to 5Gbps is possible only when host, port, peripheral and drivers all support USB 3.0. Real transfers are lower.
Does it power a printer?
No. Use the printer’s own mains power lead; this is the USB data cable.
Will it work from USB 2.0 on my PC?
The USB-A end can connect and negotiate a lower host speed, but the peripheral still needs a USB 3.0 Type-B socket.
Does it need a driver?
The cable does not. The connected printer, scanner or other device may require one.
Can I use it with a USB-C laptop?
Yes through a data-capable USB-C-to-USB-A adapter or hub, purchased separately.
Can it connect two laptops?
No. This is a host-to-peripheral cable, not a PC transfer cable.
Why does my external drive disconnect?
Check its power supply, connect directly to the host, update device drivers and inspect both ports. Safely eject before swapping cables.
Which end connects to the computer?
The USB-A plug normally connects to the host computer or hub, while the taller USB 3.0 Type-B plug connects to the compatible peripheral.
