Purpose and fit

This one-foot USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cable connects a printer, keyboard, mouse or similar peripheral directly to a computer. The short length keeps desk clutter low for fixed-position setups. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation for reliable mating cycles. It is not suited for linking two host controllers or bridging long distances between devices.

Deciding specification

The cable implements USB 3.0 with a 28 AWG signal pair and 24 AWG power conductors, rated for SuperSpeed transfer up to 4.8 Gbps. Double shielding suppresses EMI and RFI so the link stays clean in electrically noisy environments. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports is maintained without extra adapters.

Capacity and headroom

At 4.8 Gbps the link comfortably handles external hard drives, high-resolution scanners and multi-channel audio interfaces. Bandwidth runs out when several SuperSpeed devices share a single host controller or when cable runs exceed the one-foot limit. The short reach also prevents daisy-chaining multiple peripherals without a powered hub.

Questions about this item

What does the 4.8 GBps rating actually deliver when I plug this cable into a USB 3.0 port?

The cable supports the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed specification up to 4.8 GBps; real-world throughput depends on the host controller, device and file sizes, but the conductor is built to carry the full signalling rate.

Which USB standard does the A-to-A connector follow, and what does that limit?

Both ends are USB 3.0 Type A Male, so the link is capped at the USB 3.0 5 Gbps signalling rate and will fall back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 if either port is older.

Will the 1 ft length and 28 AWG data pairs fit a typical desktop-to-peripheral run?

At 1 ft the cable is designed for close-range links such as a printer or dock sitting beside the PC; the 28 AWG data pairs and 24 AWG power cores are rated for the USB 3.0 current allowance at this length.
