What this cable connects

This Monoprice cable carries USB 3.0 signals between two Type-A ports. It is built for data transfer with modems, printers or hard-drive enclosures that use the same rectangular connector. The 32awg conductors and TPE jacket keep the lead supple for tight routing. Condition is new.

Critical spec: 32awg conductor gauge

The 32awg wire size determines how far the cable can run without signal loss at USB 3.0 speeds. Thinner conductors make the cable more flexible but limit the practical length to the 6.00 ft supplied. Builders needing longer runs or higher current capacity should choose a lower-gauge alternative.

Build fit: male-to-male Type-A

Each end terminates in a standard USB 3.0 Type-A male plug, so the cable plugs directly into host and peripheral ports without adapters. The flexible jacket eases cable management behind desks or inside enclosures. No external power or driver installation is required for operation.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.0 rating mean for actual transfer speed when I plug this cable in?

USB 3.0 supports up to 5 Gbps, so large files move noticeably faster than with USB 2.0 cables.

How does the Type-A to Type-A interface limit what I can connect?

Both ends are standard rectangular Type-A plugs, so the cable only links a host port to a device port that also uses Type-A.

Will the 6.00 ft length and 32awg build fit behind my desk without straining the ports?

The thinner 32awg conductors and TPE jacket make the cable very flexible, easing routing in tight spaces.
