Connection and Compatibility

This three-foot USB 3.0 cable links a Standard-A host port to a Standard-B device port. It supports simultaneous SuperSpeed and legacy signalling, so the same lead works with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 equipment. Shielded twisted-pair construction limits electromagnetic interference. The black jacket is rated for indoor use.

Who This Suits

The cable suits anyone connecting a USB 3.0 printer, scanner, external drive or hub to a computer with a Type-A port. Buyers who need a Type-C, Micro-B or Mini-B device connector should look elsewhere. It is not a charging-only lead and does not carry video signals. Length is fixed at three feet, so setups requiring a longer run need a different solution.

Build Integration

Plug the Type-A end into the host and the Type-B end into the peripheral; no driver or power adapter is required. The shielded design helps maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Backwards compatibility frees the user from swapping cables when mixing USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 gear on the same workstation.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need a USB 3.0 Type A port to use this cable at its rated speed?

Yes, a USB 3.0 host port is required to achieve the 4.8Gbps throughput; a USB 2.0 port will limit the link to 480Mbps.

Will this cable work with my older USB 2.0 printer?

The cable is backwards compatible and will operate at USB 2.0 speeds when connected to a USB 2.0 device or host.

How can I verify the link is running at SuperSpeed after I connect it?

Check the operating system device manager or system profiler; it should list the connection speed as 5Gbps or SuperSpeed rather than 480Mbps.
