USB 3.0 A-to-B cable for SuperSpeed peripherals

This one-metre cable connects USB 3.0 Type-A hosts to Type-B devices such as printers, scanners and hard-drive enclosures. It carries both data and power with a maximum bandwidth of 4.8 Gbps. The blue colour-coded overmould identifies the SuperSpeed interface at a glance.

Shielding and moulded strain relief

Foil and braid shielding plus twisted-pair construction reduce EMI, RFI and crosstalk for error-free transfers. The moulded connector body protects the solder joints from bending stress during frequent plugging and unplugging.

Backward-compatible Type-A plug

The Type-A end works with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at their native speeds, but SuperSpeed performance requires a USB 3.0 host and device. Buyers who need a Type-C or Micro-B connection cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

Will the overmolded connectors on this 54173 cable need replacing after frequent plugging?

The overmolded strain relief protects the solder joints, so normal insertion cycles rarely damage the connectors themselves.

What limits sustained throughput on a 1-metre run at 4.8 Gbps?

The 4.8 Gbps ceiling is set by the USB 3.0 specification; cable length and shielding keep signal integrity within that limit.

Does the cable run warm when delivering 900 mA continuously?

The conductors are sized for the 900 mA USB 3.0 power rating, so temperature rise stays negligible during all-day use.
