USB 3.0 Type-B Cable for External Devices

This 15 ft USB 3.0 cable connects a computer to external hard drives, powered hubs, docking stations, 3.5-inch drive enclosures, scanners and monitors that have a USB 3.0 Type-B port. It is built for users who need a long reach between host and peripheral without sacrificing SuperSpeed performance.

Gold-plated connectors and shielding reduce errors

The cable uses gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors, foil and braid shielding plus moulded strain relief. These construction choices protect signal integrity over the full length and make plugging and unplugging more secure, so data transfers stay reliable at the rated rate.

USB 3.0 Type-B port required; not USB 2.0 compatible

The connector will only fit a USB 3.0 Type-B port and cannot be used with USB 2.0 Type-B devices such as older printers or scanners. Maximum throughput is 5 Gbps and depends on both ends supporting USB 3.0; a USB 2.0 host or device will limit speed to the older standard.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated connectors or the molded strain relief need any maintenance after a few years of plugging and unplugging?

The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and the molded strain relief protects the cable joint, so no routine maintenance is required under normal use.

What is the first limit I will hit when transferring large files continuously at 5 Gbps?

The practical ceiling is the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed USB 3.0 signalling rate; sustained throughput will not exceed that figure.

Does the 15 ft blue cable run warm or draw extra power when it stays connected all day?

The bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding keep resistance low, so the cable stays cool and adds no measurable power draw during extended operation.
