The distance between the screws on the Type-A end is different than the Type-B because of the port connector.

Measuring the distance between the locking mechanism screws is worth mentioning because each cable model is different. It ensures that the cable stays connected and running if the hub or other device is moved somehow. Locking the connection in with a screw lock mechanism does improve on the cables data transmission. If using the locking mechanism features to secure a USB port connection(s), measure the distance between centers first. This helps when purchasing the locking cable to avoid mismatching and damaging the screw lock mechanism itself. Not all locking screws on the USB connectors are manufactured to fit all hub products however.īelow is an image of Coolgear’s USBG-7U3ML 7 port USB 3.0 hub showing the locking screw hole location on each port. USB hubs supporting USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 from Coolgear are generally screw lock compatible.
