A few months ago I posted about my difficulty finding USB A to USB B cables, at all, and ones of decent quality. I still have gear that uses them and intermittent cables are huge PITA when debugging.
I bought some from Digikey. They're GREAT and look like they're from the 1990s -- heavy thick ugly beige jackets.
The parametric search includes WIRE GAUGE! I don't know what gauge they ought to be or how much it matters, but the fact it was spec'd at all is encouraging.
Time will tell but sure look good so far.
And reasonably cheap too.
They may have other configurations.
