USB 3.0 Type A to A Male Cable

This USB 3.0 Type A to Type A male cable links a peripheral that has a USB 3.0 Type A port to a computer for file transfer. It serves as an extension for USB 3.0 connections and works with hard-drive enclosures, DVD players, laptop cooling pads, monitors, cameras, set-top boxes and similar devices. The 2 m length suits desktop setups where the host and peripheral are close.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbps

The cable is rated for SuperSpeed USB 3.0 with a maximum data rate of 5 Gbps, or 5,120 Mbps, and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1. Real-world throughput depends on the host controller, the peripheral firmware and cable quality, so sustained speeds are often lower than the theoretical peak. The 2 m length meets the USB 3.0 specification limit for passive cables; longer runs would require an active or optical solution.

Plug-and-play with reinforced strain relief

No driver installation is required for most USB 3.0 Type A peripherals; the connection is recognised automatically by the operating system. A reinforced anti-breaking design rated for over 20,000 bending cycles reduces the risk of cable fracture at the connector junction. The most common issues arise when the cable is used for PC-to-PC transfers without a dedicated bridge device or when a port supplies insufficient power for bus-powered enclosures.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2 m length or the 6.6 ft length for my setup?

They are the same cable; 2 m equals 6.6 ft, so choose whichever unit you prefer.

What does the 5 Gbps rating actually deliver when I plug this into my laptop and external drive?

It supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 up to 5,120 Mbps, though real-world throughput depends on the drive and port.

Which USB standard does the Type A to Type A connector use, and what speed ceiling does that impose?

The cable follows USB 3.0, capping at 5 Gbps, and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1.
