Two-Pack USB 3.0 A-to-A Cables

This two-pack provides a spare cable for connecting USB 3.0 Type A peripherals such as printers, scanners, keyboards or external drives to a computer. The three-foot length suits desktop setups where devices sit close to the host. Male-to-male connectors plug directly into standard ports without adapters.

Gold-Plated Connectors And Shielding

Gold-plated contacts, bare copper conductors and foil-plus-braid shielding combine to reduce signal loss and electromagnetic interference. Molded strain relief protects the junction between cable and connector from repeated bending. Grip treads on the plugs make insertion and removal easier in tight spaces.

Not For Direct Computer Links

The cable does not support linking two computers together for data transfer or networking. It is intended only for peripheral-to-host connections such as hubs, switches or storage devices. USB 2.0 ports will work but limit throughput to the older standard's maximum rate.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated connectors on this USB 3.0 cable need cleaning or replacement over time?

The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and do not require routine cleaning or scheduled replacement under normal use.

What limits sustained throughput on this 5 Gbps USB 3.0 cable during long transfers?

The USB 3.0 specification caps the cable at 5 Gbps, so the interface itself is the first bottleneck under continuous load.

Does this male-to-male USB 3.0 cable generate noticeable heat when used all day for fast charging?

The bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding keep resistance low, so the cable stays cool during extended charging sessions.
