Using it to connect Akai Professional MPK261 to Dell Laptop. Works perfectly. **Q: ps3** A: I bought this cable to connect a Casio WK-3800 to a computer. I inspected the receptacles on the rear of the instrument to determine the type of USB connection required. While I did not get this cable specifically for the Yamaha Tyros 4 (that I also own), I note that it would work to connect that device to a computer. The appropriate receptacle on the back of the Tyros 4 is labeled "to host." There is a second "A" type receptacle next to the "B" type that is labeled "to device" so that it appears that (at least on a Tyros 4) it is possible to daisy chain multiple USB devices. (That doesn't say if there are drivers available to support any/all such devices.) Since Yamaha is the manufacturer of the PS3, it is likely that it has a similar port arrangement -- however, you should inspect the back of your PS3 and see what ports are present, since specific features depend on exact models and date of production. (Specs can change over time.)As others have noted, this cable is most commonly used to connect to a printer. Most other USB devices use an "A" to "A" cable if needed. An additional consideration is to always use the shortest possible cable for any application, as signals tend to degrade over distance ... this is especially important with daisy-chained devices, since there is a maximum allowed combined cable length (the specification mentions a length that I can't recall, but in practice the quality of the cables will affect the actual signal strength, allowing longer or shorter cable runs as the case may be.) **Q: Is this good for arduino uno r3?** A: Don't know. "aruino uno r3"?? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable and True to Size *by R***N on December 31, 2025* I bought this Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable for my printer, and it works exactly as it should.

The cable feels sturdy and the connectors fit snugly on both ends without any wiggle. I genuinely don't understand why anyone would spend more on a USB printer cable. This one works, it's cheap, and the build quality is way better than the random cables that come bundled with printers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good purchase. Works great, and appreciate having the extra length. *by L***Y on November 21, 2024* I purchased this 16 foot long USB-A to USB-B so called printer cable to install a new printer. It was recommended I install the printer using a wired connection rather than wirelessly to make sure all the needed software and updates actually got installed ok, which I guess people had been having some problems with when trying to set up this particular printer wirelessly. I am not sure I honestly chose the best option for the installation though, as the new printer works great, but only if this Amazon cable remains connected to both the printer and my laptop. Disconnect it and there is no printing whatsoever at the moment, but that is a different problem. I did actually purchase the longer cable length because of those concerns about wireless printing, and I am glad I did, as at least I do not have to be standing holding a laptop right next to the printer in order for it to print, and I can at least stretch the cable out into a different room up to 16 feet away. The printer cable got quite a work out yesterday, as I was rushing to print out a large and lengthly file that needs to be mailed out this weekend. The cable's connections to both my printer and my computer were tight and held well. The cord did not accidentally disconnect at either end because I stretched the new cord out as far as it would reach. Because my computer uses USB-C and has no USB-A port, the one end of the printer cord actually had to first be connected to a USB-A to USB-C cord, then finally connected to the computer. The cord itself is very flexible, and not at all stiff, making to easy to stretch out completely flat going in any direction. Overall, if I ever needed another one, I would not hesitate to purchase it again, as it is well made. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable for Printer or External Hard Drive, Gold-Plated Connectors, 16 Foot, Black - USB 3.0 Hub, VIENON 4-Port USB Hub USB Splitter USB Expander for Laptop, Xbox, Flash Drive, HDD, Console, Printer, Camera,Keyborad, Mouse(Not for Charging) - ITD ITANDA 10FT USB Extension Cable USB 3.0 Extension Cord Type A Male to Female5Gbps Data Transfer for Keyboard, Mouse, Playstation, Xbox, Flash Drive, Printer, Camera and More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1443996-amazon-basics-usb-a-to-usb-b-2-0-cable](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1443996-amazon-basics-usb-a-to-usb-b-2-0-cable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
