USB 3.0 A Male to B Male Cable

This USB 3.0 cable connects Type-B peripherals such as external hard drives, printers and scanners to a Type-A port on a PC or Mac. The three-foot length suits desktop setups where the device sits close to the host. It is built with tinned copper conductors for stable signal transmission.

Practical limits of the USB 3.0 interface

The link runs at up to 5 Gbps when both ends support USB 3.0. If either the host or the peripheral only supports USB 2.0, the connection falls back to USB 2.0 speeds. The cable does not add any capability beyond the lowest common standard of the two connected devices.

Male-to-Male Type A to Type B connector gender

This cable only fits ports that accept a USB 3.0 Type-B plug on the device side and a USB 3.0 Type-A plug on the host side. It cannot be used with Type-C, Micro-B or Mini-B ports. Buyers who need a different connector combination must choose another cable.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 3 ft length or a longer cable for my desk setup?

The 3 ft cable reaches nearby peripherals without excess slack; choose a longer one only if the device sits farther from the port.

What does the 5 Gbps rating deliver when I copy files to an external drive?

Real-world throughput reaches the USB 3.0 ceiling, so large transfers finish near the interface maximum rather than at 2.0 speeds.

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B connection limit speed on older ports?

Plugging into a USB 2.0 port drops the link to 2.0 rates; on a 3.0 port the cable runs at the full 5 Gbps specification.
