USB 3.0 A-to-B cable for SuperSpeed peripherals

This 6.6 ft USB 3.0 Type A male to Type B male cable connects hard drive enclosures, printers, modems, cameras and other SuperSpeed USB peripherals to a host computer. It supports plug-and-play operation with no driver installation required. The cable is built for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed performance at up to 4.8 Gbps when both ends are USB 3.0 compliant.

Shielded construction

Foil and braid shielding reduces EMI/RFI interference while twisted-pair construction minimises crosstalk for error-free data transfer. The protective overmolded connectors are colour-coded blue to identify USB 3.0 compatibility at a glance. The cable also delivers up to 900 mA of power, compared with 500 mA on USB 2.0.

Backward compatibility limited to USB 2.0

Type A connectors work with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, but the link will run at the lower 480 Mbps or 1.1 speeds and 500 mA power. Users who need the full 4.8 Gbps throughput and 900 mA power must connect both ends to USB 3.0 compliant ports. Buyers with only USB 2.0 ports cannot achieve SuperSpeed performance with this cable.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.0 Type B connector on the 54174 cable wear out after frequent plugging and unplugging?

The USB 3.0 Type B connector is rated for standard mating cycles; the overmolded strain relief protects the solder joints from cable flex, extending connector life under normal use.

What limits the 4.8 Gbps transfer rate on this 6.6 ft cable during sustained heavy transfers?

The 4.8 Gbps SuperSpeed rate holds as long as both host and device are USB 3.0 compliant; cable length and shielding are designed to maintain signal integrity at this distance.

Does the cable get warm or draw more power when running a USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure all day?

The cable supports up to 900 mA power delivery for USB 3.0 devices; it remains passive, so it does not generate noticeable heat during continuous operation.
