USB 2.0 A Male to A Male cable, 6 ft

This cable connects two devices that both use a standard USB-A port. It carries data at 480 Mbps and is built with 28/24 AWG conductors and gold-plated connectors. The six-foot length suits desktop setups where the host and peripheral sit close together. It is ready to use with no driver installation required.

For linking legacy peripherals to a host computer

It suits users who need to attach a printer, scanner, external drive or other USB-A device directly to a PC or Mac USB-A port. It will not work where either end requires USB-C, Micro-USB or a female receptacle, so builders needing those connectors should choose a different cable.

Male-to-male USB-A connectors decide the fit

Both ends are USB-A male plugs, so the cable only fits ports that accept that exact shape. Verify that both pieces of equipment present a USB-A female socket before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 ft USB 2.0 A Male to A Male cable draw enough power to heat up during all-day transfers?

The cable carries standard USB 2.0 bus power at 480 Mbps; its 28/24 AWG conductors keep resistance low, so it stays cool during continuous use.

What ports must my devices already have for this male-to-male cable to work?

Both devices need a USB 2.0 Type-A female port; the cable plugs directly into those without adapters.

Will this 480 Mbps cable slow down my older USB 1.1 printer if I keep using it?

The cable is fully backward compatible; it will run at the printer's USB 1.1 speed without any configuration.
