Kaybles USB 3.0 A-to-B Cable, 3 ft

This three-foot cable links a USB 3.0 Type-A host port to a USB 3.0 Type-B device port. It supports SuperSpeed data rates up to 4.8 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 equipment. Nickel-plated connectors and foil-plus-braid shielding protect signal integrity.

Suits Type-B peripherals; not for Type-C or Micro-B

The cable fits printers, scanners, docking stations and 3.5-inch drive enclosures that use a standard USB 3.0 Type-B socket. It will not connect devices that require USB-C, Micro-B, Mini-B or Lightning interfaces. Buyers needing those connectors should choose a different cable.

4.8 Gbps maximum transfer rate

With a USB 3.0 host and device the link reaches 4.8 Gbps. On USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports the speed falls to the older standard’s limit. The bare copper conductors and dual shielding maintain reliable throughput at the rated rate.

Questions about this item

Does the Kaybles USB3-AB-3 cable get warm or draw extra power when I leave a hard drive connected all day?

The cable uses bare copper conductors with foil-and-braid shielding to minimise resistance, so it stays cool and adds no measurable power draw during continuous use.

My laptop only has USB 2.0 ports — will this USB 3.0 A-to-B cable still work with my external hard drive?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, so it will function at the host's maximum speed without any extra adapters.

I have an older USB 2.0 printer with a Type B port; can I plug it into a USB 3.0 hub using this cable?

The USB 3.0 Type B connector on this cable fits the printer's port and the hub's USB 3.0 socket, and backward compatibility ensures the printer works normally at USB 2.0 speeds.
