USB 3.0 Male-to-Male Cable 3 ft Blue

This USB 3.0 Type A to Type A cable connects a computer to peripherals such as printers, scanners, keyboards, USB hubs, switches, or external drives. It is not designed for connecting two computers directly. The 3 ft length suits desktop setups where devices sit close to the host. Gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding help maintain signal integrity.

Sustained data transfer at up to 5 Gbps

The cable supports the USB 3.0 specification with a signalling rate of up to 5 Gbps, which is ten times the throughput of USB 2.0. Gold-plated contacts, bare copper conductors, and combined foil and braid shielding reduce errors during prolonged transfers. Molded strain-relief connectors and grip treads withstand repeated insertion cycles in daily use.

USB 3.0 Type A interface limits

The USB 3.0 Type A connector is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, operating at the lower speed when connected to legacy hosts. The male-to-male wiring is intended for host-to-peripheral links only; it cannot bridge two computers. Bus power of 5 V at 1.5 A is available for connected devices, but the cable does not support proprietary fast-charging protocols.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 cable generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when used all day for large file transfers?

The cable is passive with gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding, so it produces no measurable heat and adds no active power draw beyond the host port's standard 5 V / 1.5 A bus power limit.

What port must my device already have for this male-to-male Type-A cable to work?

Both ends require a USB 3.0 Type-A port, which is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 Type-A sockets on computers, hubs, switches or peripherals.

Will this 3 ft blue cable work with my older USB 2.0 printer or scanner without speed issues?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices; data will transfer at the older standard's lower rate while the connectors and shielding remain the same.
