Three-pack USB 3.0 A-to-A cables

This three-pack supplies three identical USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables, each 1.64 ft long. They are designed to extend a USB 3.0 connection between a computer and a peripheral such as a hard-drive enclosure, printer, modem or camera. The cables are black with gold-plated connectors and moulded strain relief. No driver installation is required; the link works on plug-and-play.

Deciding specification: male-to-male Type

The critical detail is that both ends are USB 3.0 Type A male plugs. This makes the cable suitable only for connecting a host port to a device port; it cannot link two computers directly because both endpoints would be host ports. The 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rating is standard for USB 3.0, and the cables remain backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.

Suits peripheral-to-host links; not for host-to-host

Buyers who need to connect a USB 3.0 hard-drive enclosure, DVD player, laptop cooler or similar peripheral to a computer will find these cables fit the purpose. Builders who want to join two PCs for data transfer, or anyone needing a USB-C or Micro-B connector, should look at a different cable type.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when the cable is plugged into a real computer?

It sets the maximum theoretical throughput for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfers; actual speeds depend on the host controller, the peripheral and the file sizes being moved.

Which USB standard does the Type A to Type A connector follow and what does it limit?

The connectors follow the USB 3.0 specification, capping the link at 5 Gbps and falling back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds when plugged into older ports.

What physical space does the 1.64 ft cable need to reach between two devices?

The cable spans roughly half a metre end to end, so the two USB Type A ports must be within that distance for a straight connection.
