StarTech USBPN Series IC Socket USB Cable, 900mm Cable Length, Black Jacket - USBPNLAFHD3

This IC-socket USB cable connects USB 2.0 hosts to IDC-style IC sockets for programming and data-transfer tasks. It is intended for use in development and production environments where an interface between a computer USB port and an in-circuit device socket is required. The lead is finished with a black PVC outer sheath and carries approvals for recognised safety and material standards.

Features and Benefits:

• USB 2.0 signalling for reliable data transfer speeds
  Female USB Type A connector for easy host connection
  IDC connector provides direct IC-socket interfacing
  900mm length enables flexible bench-to-device reach
  PVC jacket resists abrasion and general workshop wear
  Conforms to UL, CE, RoHS and REACH for material compliance

Applications

• Suitable for IC programming at development benches
  Used with in-circuit programmers and debuggers
  Ideal for firmware flashing during production runs
  Can be used for test fixtures requiring USB interfacing
  Used for connecting laptops to IDC-equipped hardware

Which end connects to the host computer?

The cable terminates in a female USB Type A connector that plugs into a standard USB host port.

What material covers the cable and what does it provide?

The outer sheath is polyvinyl chloride which offers mechanical protection and basic chemical resistance in typical workshop conditions.

Are there approvals relevant to safety and materials?

The assembly meets recognised UL, CE, RoHS and REACH approvals, indicating adherence to established electrical-safety and restricted-substance standards.

Is this suitable for USB 2.0 programming speed requirements?

Yes, it implements USB 2.0 signalling suitable for programming and data-transfer tasks that rely on that generation of interface.
