USB 3.0 A Male to B Male Cable 1.5 ft

This cable connects USB 3.0 Type-A host ports to USB 3.0 Type-B peripheral ports. It suits users linking external hard drives, printers or scanners to a computer. The 1.5 ft length keeps cable runs short on a desk or in a rack.

USB 3.0 interface practical limits

USB 3.0 specifies a 5 Gbps signalling rate, but real-world throughput is lower due to protocol overhead and host-controller implementation. Cable length is restricted to around 3 m for full speed; this 1.5 ft assembly stays well within that limit. The Micro-B connector is not compatible with standard USB 2.0 Type-B receptacles.

28 AWG data and 24 AWG power conductors

The 28 AWG data pairs and 24 AWG power conductors meet the USB 3.0 specification for signal integrity and current delivery. This gauge determines whether the cable can sustain SuperSpeed transfers without errors over its 1.5 ft run. Buyers needing longer runs or higher current should verify gauge suitability.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1.5 ft length or a longer cable?

The 1.5 ft cable keeps a tidy desk when the device sits right next to the computer; choose a longer one only if you need extra reach.

What does the USB 3.0 rating deliver in everyday use?

The cable supports SuperSpeed data up to 5 Gbps, so large file transfers to external drives finish noticeably faster than with USB 2.0.

How does the USB 3.0 Type-B connector limit what I can plug in?

The wider USB 3.0 Type-B plug fits only SuperSpeed peripherals such as modern hard-disk enclosures; it will not mate with older USB 2.0 Type-B ports.
