Monoprice USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cable 3.00 ft

This cable connects USB 3.0 devices such as printers, scanners, hard drives and hubs to a host computer. It uses a USB 3.0 Type-A male connector on one end and a USB 3.0 Type-B male connector on the other. The 3.00 ft length suits desktop setups where the peripheral sits close to the port. Builders needing longer runs or different connector types should choose another cable.

Thinner 32awg conductors with TPE jacket

The cable uses thinner 32awg conductors and a TPE jacket that make it more flexible and easier to route in tight spaces. It requires a free USB 3.0 Type-A port on the host and a USB 3.0 Type-B port on the device. No external power or driver installation is needed for the cable itself. It frees up bulkier cables that can block adjacent ports.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data under sustained load

The USB 3.0 Type-B connector includes five additional pins that carry SuperSpeed data at the USB 3.0 signalling rate. During extended transfers the thinner conductors and flexible jacket maintain a reliable connection without signal degradation. The design supports continuous operation for backup, scanning or large file moves. Users requiring higher throughput than USB 3.0 provides must use a different interface.

Does the cable get warm or draw extra power during all-day use?

The thin 32awg conductors and TPE jacket are designed for normal USB 3.0 power delivery without noticeable heat buildup.

My device has the blue 5-pin USB 3.0 Type-B port — will this plug fit?

Yes, the USB 3.0 Type-B connector on this cable has the 5 additional SuperSpeed pins that match that port.
