deleyCON MK6540 USB 2.0 Printer Cable, 2 m Braided USB-A to USB-B

A printer setup and a music workstation have different connection needs, but both benefit from a dependable link between a computer and USB-B equipment. The deleyCON MK6540 connects a USB-A port to a USB-B 2.0 port for straightforward data and power transmission.

At 2 metres long, it gives you useful reach between a computer and a printer, scanner or compatible audio device. Its braided nylon outer cable and metal connectors are designed for regular handling at home, in the office or in a studio.

With transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps and power transmission rated at 5V/2A, it supports everyday peripheral connections without requiring a separate driver installation.

Worth noting

This is a USB 2.0 cable with a male USB-A connector at one end and a male USB-B connector at the other. Use it to connect a computer or laptop to a device with a USB-B 2.0 port, such as a printer, scanner, audio interface or MIDI keyboard. It is also backward compatible with USB 1.1, making it useful with compatible older equipment.

The cable supports data transfer at up to 480 Mbps and power transmission of up to 10W (5V/2A). That combination suits a practical desk connection where one cable can carry data and power between compatible devices. For example, connect a laptop to a USB-B printer to send documents, or link a computer to an audio interface as part of a music setup.

The 2-metre length offers room to position connected equipment on a desk or nearby shelf, rather than keeping it directly beside the computer. A braided nylon jacket, kink protection at both ends and metal connectors provide practical details for a cable that may be plugged in and moved as part of everyday use.

Tips for day-to-day use

Match the USB-A end with the computer’s USB-A port and the USB-B end with the USB-B 2.0 port on the printer, scanner or other peripheral. The plug-and-play design is ready to use without driver installation. Keep the cable routed with enough slack to avoid pulling on the connectors when moving a laptop or repositioning connected equipment.

Who it’s for

The MK6540 is suited to anyone who needs a direct USB connection between a computer and a USB-B peripheral. At home or in an office, that could mean connecting a printer or scanner for document tasks. For a music setup, it can connect a computer with a compatible MIDI keyboard or audio interface. Its 2-metre reach is handy when the device is placed beside, rather than directly next to, the computer.

If your priority is a simple peripheral connection, the USB-A to USB-B layout keeps the setup familiar. If the equipment is part of a studio desk, the same cable can serve compatible USB-B audio or MIDI devices, with data transfer and power carried through the connection.

Practical questions

Which devices can it connect? It is intended for computers and laptops with USB-A ports and peripherals with a USB-B 2.0 port, including printers, scanners, audio interfaces and MIDI keyboards.

Does it need a driver? No. The cable is described as plug and play, so it is ready to use without driver installation.

What transfer and power ratings does it support? Data transfer is up to 480 Mbps, with power transmission rated at 5V/2A and 10W.

Buying verdict

Choose the deleyCON MK6540 when you need a 2-metre USB-A to USB-B cable for a printer, scanner or compatible music device. Its braided nylon construction, metal connectors and plug-and-play use make it a practical fit for everyday connections at home, in the office or in a studio.
