- Power your Arduino board via USB for prototyping without external supply
- Replace lost or damaged cables for CNC machines or 3D printers with USB-B ports
Compatibility
This cable works with any device featuring a standard USB-B female port, including Arduino UNO, Arduino MEGA 2560, and many printers. It is not compatible with Arduino Nano (mini-USB) or Arduino Micro (micro-USB). It uses standard USB 2.0 protocol and is backward compatible with USB 1.1.
Wiring Notes
Simply plug the USB-A end into your computer's USB port and the USB-B end into the Arduino board. Ensure the connector is fully inserted to avoid intermittent connections. No additional drivers are needed as it is a standard cable.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Nano?
No, Arduino Nano uses a mini-USB connector, not USB-B. This cable is designed for boards with a full-size USB-B port like UNO and MEGA.
What is the maximum data transfer speed?
The cable supports USB 2.0 speeds of up to 480 Mbps, which is more than sufficient for programming and serial data with Arduino boards.
Can I use this cable for charging?
Yes, it can carry power, but the current is limited by your USB port. It is fine for powering an Arduino board during prototyping.
