Angled USB cable – USB A to B & 90° USB adapter

DINIC Connection Technology for Retail, Trade and Industry

Angled USB cables for tight spaces around device ports

When there is limited space behind a printer, scanner or measuring device, an angled plug makes cable routing easier. Here you will find USB 2.0 cables from USB-A to USB-B with an angled USB-B plug, as well as 90-degree USB-A angle adaptors for existing connection cables.

First, select the connector where the angle is required. Then check the angle direction, cable length and the available space on the device using the product images.

Which angled USB cable is suitable for your setup?

The position of the connector is key: for a side-exit cable on a USB-B device, choose a cable with an angled USB-B plug. If you need to route an existing cable away from a USB-A port, a USB-A angled adapter is the right choice.

USB-A to USB-B with angled device plug

These connection cables feature a straight USB-A plug and an angled USB-B plug. They are suitable for printers, scanners and other peripheral devices with a compatible USB-B socket.

USB-B right-angled, 2 m, transparent – item USB-II-2R.
USB-B, left-angled, 2 m, transparent – item USB-II-2L.
USB-B right-angled, 0.50 m, black – item USB-II-05R.

The short version is suitable for connections that are close together. The 2 m versions offer more flexibility when setting up. Check current stock levels and delivery times directly on the product page.

USB-A angle adaptors for existing cables

The adapters feature a USB-A plug and a USB-A socket. They change the direction in which a connected cable exits the USB-A port.

USB-A adapter angled 90 degrees downwards – item USB-90-DN.
USB-A adapter, 90-degree upward angle – item USB-90-UP.

Please take into account the mounting position of the USB socket and the space required for the adaptor and cable plug. Adjacent ports should also remain accessible.

Frequently asked questions about USB cables with angled plugs

How do I identify the correct angle direction?

The terms ‘left’, ‘right’, ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ depend on the viewing direction and the installation position of the socket. Compare the product image with the port on your device. Check which direction the cable should run in once plugged in and whether there is sufficient space there.

Will an angled USB-B cable fit any printer?

The device requires a suitable USB-B socket. A USB-A socket is required on the computer or hub side. Compare both connectors before ordering. For other connector combinations, you’ll find further options in the USB cables and accessories category.

When is an angled cable useful, and when is an adapter better?

An angled cable provides the complete connection with the desired plug type. An angled adapter is useful if you wish to continue using an existing cable and change the outlet at the USB-A port. The decisive factors are the connector type, the available installation depth and the planned cable routing.

How can the cable be routed without putting tension on the connector?

Choose the length based on the actual route and allow some slack at the device. The cable should neither be pulled tight nor sharply bent directly behind the plug. A suitable angle makes routing easier; if necessary, provide a suitable cable fixing as well.
