Patron CAB-PN-AMBM-USB3-18 is a USB cable for connecting a printer to a computer or laptop. Its USB 3.0 interface supports the data connection between the devices, while the familiar A-to-B arrangement suits printer ports designed for this cable type.
One end has a USB Type-A male (AM) connector for the computer side; the other has a USB Type-B male (BM) connector for the printer side. The 1.8 m length gives some flexibility in placing the printer near a desk or workstation while keeping it connected by cable.
