3 ft USB 2.0 Type-A cable

This 3.00 ft cable connects two devices using USB Type-A male connectors. It supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps for everyday file transfers and peripheral links. The 28/24 AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts provide durable signal integrity. It is suited for home or office setups needing a short, direct A-to-A link.

Check port types and host support

Verify that both devices present a standard USB Type-A female port before ordering. Confirm each host operates with USB 2.0 or later signalling so the 480 Mbps rate can be negotiated. The male-to-male design cannot be used where one side requires a Type-B, Micro-B, or Type-C receptacle. Ensure the 3.00 ft reach matches the spacing between your equipment.

Fits tight desk runs and frees longer cables

The short length keeps cable clutter low on crowded desks or in equipment racks. Gold-plated connectors resist oxidation for reliable mating cycles over time. Using this link avoids routing excess slack from longer cables through tight pathways. It leaves adjacent ports and cable channels clear for other connections.

Questions about this item

Does the 8610 cable include any adapters or do I need to buy them separately?

The cable ships with two USB Type-A male connectors already attached; no extra adapters are required for standard USB 2.0 ports.

Should I choose the 3.00 ft length or a longer version for a desktop setup?

At 3.00 ft the 8610 reaches between tower and monitor on a typical desk; pick a longer cable only if the devices sit farther apart.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my computer?

It delivers the full USB 2.0 Hi-Speed bandwidth of 480 Mbps, so external drives, printers and hubs operate at their rated transfer speed.
