Connects USB 3.0 Type B peripherals

This five-foot cable links devices that use a USB 3.0 Type B port — such as external hard drives, powered hubs, docking stations, 3.5-inch drive enclosures, scanners and monitors — to a computer's Type A port for data transfer. The blue round jacket is 6.0 mm in diameter and contains copper conductors with tin and nickel plating. It is sold new in a transparent PE bag.

Sustained 5 Gbps transfer with shielding

The cable supports USB 3.0 data rates up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. Its construction uses 24 AWG and 28 AWG copper wires wrapped in aluminium foil, braid and drain shielding to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference during extended transfers. Molded strain-relief connectors and grip treads are designed to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging.

Verify your device uses USB 3.0 Type B

Before ordering, confirm that the peripheral you intend to connect has a USB 3.0 Type B receptacle; this cable will not fit the smaller USB 2.0 Type B or Micro-B ports found on many older printers and drives. Also check that the 1.5 metre length reaches between your computer and the device without tension. Buyers who need a longer reach or a different connector gender should look for an alternative cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 cable run hot or draw extra power during all-day transfers?

The cable is passive copper with 24 AWG power conductors and 6 mm PVC jacket, so it carries bus power without active circuitry and stays at ambient temperature during sustained use.

What port must my device already have to use this Type A to Type B cable?

Your peripheral needs a USB 3.0 Type B receptacle — the squarish port with the extra five pins — while the host side plugs into any standard USB Type A socket.

Will the 5 Gbps link drop to a lower speed if I connect it to an older USB 2.0 Type A port on my PC?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate USB 2.0 speeds when plugged into a legacy Type A port, while the Type B connector still fits the device.
