Cable kit · two 3 ft USB 3.0 A Male to A Male leads

This pack contains two black cables, each three feet long, with USB Type‑A male plugs at both ends. They are built to the USB 3.0 specification and are rated for 5 Gbps throughput. The connectors are gold‑plated and the conductors are bare copper. Each cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts and devices.

Suits direct device‑to‑device links.

The male‑to‑male wiring is intended for connecting a USB 3.0 peripheral such as an external drive, dock or camera directly to a host port, or for linking two peripherals that both present a female Type‑A port. It will not work for connecting two computers or two host controllers because the USB architecture requires a host at one end of the link.

5 Gbps signalling rate

The cable is specified for the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed rate of 5 Gbps, which is ten times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0. If either connected port only supports USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 the link will fall back to the slower standard, so the 5 Gbps figure is the decisive specification for buyers who need the higher throughput.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft USB 3.0 A Male to A Male cable draw noticeable power or run warm during all-day file transfers?

The cable carries USB 3.0 bus power at up to 5 Gbps and is passive, so it adds negligible heat or power draw during continuous use.

What host ports and devices must I already have for this A Male to A Male cable to function?

You need a USB Type-A port on each end — typically a PC or hub on one side and a peripheral with a Type-A receptacle on the other — because both connectors are male.

Will the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed link still negotiate when I plug it into older USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 ports?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 1.1, automatically negotiating the highest speed both ends support.
