Zebra 105850-006 USB A to B Interface Cable, 1.8 m
Genuine ZebraUSB-A to USB-B1.8 m (6 ft)Desktop & industrial printers
The Zebra 105850-006 is the genuine Zebra 1.8 m (6 ft) USB interface cable with a USB-A plug for the computer and a USB-B plug for the printer, listed by Zebra for desktop printers such as the GK420, GX420, GX430 and LP / TLP 2824 and 2844, and for industrial models including the ZT200 series and Xi4. It is for anyone replacing a lost or damaged printer cable or setting up a second workstation.
It is a standard USB printer cable: the flat USB-A end goes into the PC, laptop or USB hub, and the square USB-B end goes into the printer USB port. Once connected, the printer is installed with the Zebra driver as usual.
Before you order: Check the port on your printer. Zebra mobile printers (QLn, ZQ series) use mini-USB, micro-USB or USB-C cables and do not take this cable. If your computer only has USB-C ports, you will also need a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Zebra USB interface cable, USB-A male to USB-B male, 1.8 m
What It Means in Practice
- Connects one printer directly to one computer, the simplest setup for a single workstation.
- 1.8 m is enough for a printer on the same desk or next to the PC.
- For printers shared by several users, a network connection is usually better than USB.
- Works with the standard Zebra driver; no extra software is needed for the cable itself.
What Will Not Work
- It does not fit Zebra mobile printers with mini-USB, micro-USB or USB-C ports.
- It does not plug directly into USB-C-only laptops without an adapter.
- It is not a serial (RS-232) or parallel cable for older printer ports.
- It does not extend the distance beyond normal USB limits; for longer runs use the network port.

Frequently Asked Questions
My printer model is not in the list. Will it work?
If the printer has a square USB-B port, a USB-A to USB-B cable connects it. Send us the exact model and we will confirm before you order.
My printer is not detected after connecting. Why?
Install the Zebra driver for your model first, then connect the cable. Also try another USB port directly on the computer instead of a hub.
Can I use a longer cable?
Zebra also lists a 10 ft USB cable for some models. For longer distances, connecting the printer to the network is more reliable.
