USB 3.0 A male to male cable

This USB 3.0 type A male to male cable connects a peripheral with a USB 3.0 type A port to a computer or laptop for data transfer. The pack contains two cables each one foot long. It suits users who need a short link between a hard drive enclosure, laptop cooler, camera or similar device and a host port. It does not carry video or power and cannot link two computers directly.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 interface limits

The cable supports USB 3.0 data rates of 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding aim to maintain signal integrity at that speed. The one-foot length keeps the run short but the cable cannot be used for video output, charging or direct computer-to-computer connections.

Capacity and headroom for peripherals

The short length fits tight spaces such as a laptop cooler or a drive enclosure sitting next to the host. It handles typical bulk-endpoint traffic from hard drives, cameras, hubs, monitors and optical drives at USB 3.0 speeds. It runs out when the application needs video streaming, power delivery or a longer reach between devices.

Questions about this item

One 1 ft cable or the 2-pack — which should I pick?

The listing is a 2-pack, so you receive two 1 ft cables in one purchase.

The box says 5 Gbps — will I actually see that speed on my external hard drive?

5 Gbps is the USB 3.0 specification ceiling; real-world throughput depends on the drive, controller and cable length, but the cable itself is built to that standard.

USB 3.0 Type-A on both ends — what does that limit me to?

It connects USB 3.0 Type-A peripherals to a USB 3.0 Type-A host port; it cannot carry video, charge devices or link two computers directly.
