UGREEN US122 10M USB 2.0 Active Printer Cable in Kenya

Overview

The UGREEN US122 10M USB 2.0 A Male to B Male Active Printer Cable is purpose-built for users who need to connect USB-B devices such as printers, scanners, or audio interfaces over long distances without losing signal strength.

Unlike standard USB cables, this model features a built-in signal repeater chipset that actively amplifies the signal, ensuring stable and high-quality data transmission over its full 10-meter length. It’s ideal for home, office, or professional studio setups where devices are positioned far from computers.

Extended Length with Active Signal Boosting

Standard USB cables typically lose data integrity beyond 5 meters. The UGREEN US122 overcomes this limitation with an integrated active chipset that regenerates the USB signal, preventing distortion and maintaining full-speed 480 Mbps data transmission.

This makes it suitable for long-distance printer connections, remote scanning setups, or studio recording environments, where dependable and interference-free communication between devices is essential.

High-Speed USB 2.0 Data Transfer

Conforming to the USB 2.0 specification, the UGREEN US122 supports data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps, offering efficient communication between your computer and connected USB-B device.

This is ideal for:

• High-volume printing for business environments

• Fast document scanning for digital archiving

• Audio interface connections for recording and playback

• External drive usage for data backup and media management

Despite being a USB 2.0 cable, it is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices, ensuring broad device support.

Build Quality and Durability

UGREEN designed the US122 for professional reliability and long-term durability:

• Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and improve conductivity

• PVC jacket provides flexibility and protects the internal wiring

• Multi-layer shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and maintains a stable connection

• Molded strain relief at both ends reduces wear from frequent plugging and bending

This robust build ensures smooth, stable operation in high-traffic environments like offices, printing centers, and recording studios.

Universal Compatibility and Plug-and-Play Functionality

The cable works seamlessly with any device that features a USB-B port, including:

• Printers – HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Samsung

• Scanners – Canon, Epson, HP, Fujitsu

• Audio Interfaces – Focusrite Scarlett, Behringer, Presonus, and more

• Fax Machines and External Drives

No additional drivers are needed. Simply plug it in, and your system—Windows, macOS, or Linux—will recognize the device instantly.

Perfect for Extended Workspaces

With its 10-meter active reach, this cable is ideal for setups where the host computer and device are far apart, such as:

• Office layouts with shared printers

• Recording studios connecting remote audio gear

• Classrooms or libraries with centralized printer access

• Home workstations where peripherals are positioned across the room

The active repeater technology ensures that performance remains stable even at the full 10-meter distance, making it superior to standard extension cables or passive USB cords.
