USB 2.0 Type A Male Cable 3 ft

This pack contains five cables with USB Type A male connectors on both ends. Each cable measures three feet in length and supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps. The copper construction provides a reliable link for standard peripherals. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation.

Suits direct A-to-A links not A-to-B

These cables connect devices that both present a USB Type A port such as certain printers, scanners, cameras or hubs to a host computer. They will not fit peripherals that require a USB Type B, Mini-B or Micro-B connector. Buyers needing longer reach or a different connector gender should select another cable type.

480 Mbps USB 2.0 transfer rate

The decisive specification is the maximum signalling speed of 480 Mbps defined by the USB 2.0 standard. This bandwidth handles typical printer, scanner and webcam traffic but is far below the 5 Gbps offered by USB 3.0 or higher revisions. Choose this cable only when connected equipment operates at USB 2.0 speeds.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft cable reach between a desktop USB port and a nearby printer?

At 3 ft long with male Type-A plugs on both ends, it spans a short desk gap without excess slack.

Is any driver needed before the cable works with a USB 2.0 printer?

No driver is required; the cable is plug-and-play and supports 480 Mbps on USB 2.0, falling back to 12 Mbps on 1.1 and 1.5 Mbps on 1.0.

Will the copper conductors degrade with repeated plugging and unplugging?

The copper construction is rated for normal insertions; replace the cable only if the connectors loosen or data errors appear.
