1ft USB-A Male-to-Male Cable

This 1 ft blue braided cable carries USB 3.0 data at up to 5 Gbps between a host computer and peripherals that both use USB-A ports. It is built for short-range links to hard-drive enclosures, cooling pads, DVD players or hubs where a long cord would create clutter. The nylon jacket and aluminium shells keep the run tidy on a desk or media shelf. It does not support PC-to-PC transfers, video output, USB-C ports or device charging.

Upgrade from Longer or Unshielded Leads

Replacing a loose 2 m cable with this 12 in run removes slack that catches on chair wheels or blocks airflow behind a tower. The jump is worth it when the peripheral sits right next to the host and you want a clean, fixed-length connection without coiled excess. Buyers who need reach across a room or between separate desks should choose a longer cable instead.

Plug-and-Play Install

Both ends are standard USB-A male plugs; no drivers or configuration are required on any OS that supports USB 3.0, 2.0 or 1.1. The gold-plated contacts seat firmly in reinforced alloy shells, reducing insertion wear over repeated cycles. The only common mistake is trying to use the cable for charging phones, tablets or linking two computers — functions the wiring does not support.

Questions about this item

Will the 1 ft length and dual USB-A male plugs reach between my laptop cooling pad and the host USB-A port?

The cable is 12 in / 30 cm long with USB-A male connectors on both ends, designed for short-range links between a host computer and peripherals such as cooling pads, hard-drive enclosures, DVD players or USB hubs that both use USB-A ports.

Do I just plug both ends in, or is a driver or special orientation required?

Plug each USB-A male end into a standard USB-A port; the connection is passive and driver-free. The common mistake is trying to use it for PC-to-PC transfer, phone charging or video output, which this cable does not support.

If the braided jacket frays or a gold-plated contact bends, can I repair the cable or must I replace it?

The nylon braided jacket and aluminum alloy shells are not user-serviceable; if the jacket frays or a contact is damaged, the whole cable should be replaced.
