Reliable, Long Cable That Just Works

There’s not a ton to say about a USB-A to USB-B cable — and honestly, that’s a good thing. This Amazon Basics cable does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I needed the extra length for a printer that’s positioned a bit farther from my desk, and the 10-foot length gives me plenty of flexibility without any noticeable signal degradation.The gold-plated connectors feel solid and well-made, and I’ve had no connection issues with my printer or an older external hard drive I occasionally use. It arrived quickly, worked right out of the box, and I expect it to last a long time based on the build quality.If you need a reliable, extra-long USB-B cable without breaking the bank, this is a safe bet.

Keeps me connected

Actually used again today. This cord is durable, works great, and longer than other cords which is a win in my book. I have not had issues with the cord, which is pretty durable, but the devices sometimes don't want to cooperate.

If you are looking for a basic USB cable then this might be for you. It works great and got a old printer back up and running the day it arrived.

Reliable, Long-Reach Cable for Printers and Audio Interfaces

I picked up the Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable (16-foot version) to connect my printer across the room from my computer desk without needing to rearrange furniture or use unreliable wireless printing. I also tested it with my audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2) for home recording. After using it for several weeks in both office and studio setups, this cable has proven to be a solid, affordable performer with dependable connectivity and surprising versatility.How I Used ItInitially, I needed a cable long enough to reach from my desktop PC to an older HP LaserJet printer positioned on the far end of my workspace. The stock 3-foot USB cable just didn’t cut it, and Wi-Fi printing was laggy and unreliable. I plugged this 16-foot cable in and it worked immediately—no drops, no setup issues. Later, I swapped it over to my USB 2.0 audio interface to test latency and data integrity for music recording. Again, it performed flawlessly with zero hum or interference.ProsLong Reach with No Signal Loss: At 16 feet, this cable easily covers long distances without requiring a USB hub or extension. I experienced no lag, dropouts, or data errors during printing or recording.Thick, Durable Insulation: The cable is surprisingly sturdy. It feels solid in hand, with reinforced stress points at the connectors. I’ve accidentally stepped on it a few times, and it shows no damage or kinks.Gold-Plated Connectors: The USB-A and USB-B ends are gold-plated for better corrosion resistance and signal clarity. While I didn’t notice a performance difference, it’s reassuring for long-term reliability.Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Whether used with a printer, external hard drive, or audio device, the cable required no setup—just plug in and go. Windows recognized devices instantly.Universal Compatibility: Worked perfectly with both my HP printer and Focusrite Scarlett interface. USB 2.0 speeds are ideal for these devices, and backward compatibility is a plus.Affordable Price Point: For a cable of this length and build quality, the price is very reasonable—especially when compared to name-brand alternatives that cost twice as much for similar performance.ConsNot USB 3.0: It’s a USB 2.0 cable, so don’t expect super-fast data transfer rates. For printing or audio interfaces, it’s more than sufficient, but not ideal for high-speed external drives.Stiffness at Longer Length: Because it’s 16 feet long, the cable has a bit of stiffness and doesn’t flex easily around corners. Some cable management may be needed for a cleaner look.Not Braided: The outer coating is basic PVC, not braided nylon. It’s still durable, but lacks the premium feel and added tangle-resistance of braided cables.ComparisonsCompared to the Cable Matters USB 2.0 Printer Cable (10 feet), the Amazon Basics version is longer and cheaper without sacrificing quality. Versus Monoprice or Belkin cables, this one has similar durability at a lower cost, though premium brands may offer better shielding for high-interference environments. It doesn’t match the speed of a USB 3.0 cable, but for its intended uses—printers, MIDI controllers, or audio gear—it’s perfect.Tips for BuyersMeasure Before Ordering: 16 feet is a generous length—double-check your setup before buying to avoid unnecessary cable clutter. Amazon also offers shorter versions if needed.Avoid Tight Bends: Let the cable curve naturally when routing it around furniture or walls. This will prevent unnecessary wear over time.Use for Audio Interfaces: If you’re a home studio user, this is an excellent low-cost alternative to “pro” branded cables for connecting your audio interface to a desktop PC.Label the Ends: In a crowded workspace, adding a simple label to the cable ends helps you trace your setup quickly—especially helpful when moving gear around.Who Should Buy This?This cable is ideal for home office users, musicians, or anyone needing a longer, reliable USB-A to USB-B connection—especially for printers, external hard drives, or recording equipment. If you need dependable performance over longer distances without the premium price tag, this is one of the best budget-friendly options available.Overall, the Amazon Basics 16-foot USB-B cable offers excellent value and performance. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done without fuss—and that’s exactly what you want in a cable like this. Recommended for anyone needing a long, stable USB 2.0 connection.
