Short male-to-male USB 3.0 link

This 9.8-inch cable connects a USB Type A peripheral such as a printer scanner external drive or cooling pad to a computer or laptop host port. It is built for plug-and-play data transfer at up to 5 Gbps when both ends support USB 3.0. The slim 5.5 mm diameter and grip treads make it easy to route and unplug in tight spaces. Gold-plated connectors and double shielding protect signal integrity.

Replaces a long or missing A-to-A patch cord

Use it to bridge two USB cables through a keystone jack or coupler when a single lead is too short or when a device ships with only a female port. The jump is worth it when you need SuperSpeed 5 Gbps throughput instead of falling back to 2.0 or 1.1 speeds. It does not support direct computer-to-computer links so buyers who want that function must choose a different cable type.

Limited by the USB 3.0 Type A interface

Maximum practical throughput is 5 Gbps and only when the host controller peripheral and any intermediate coupler all meet the 3.0 specification. Cable length is fixed at 9.8 inches so it cannot span longer distances without additional extension. The male-to-male ends require a female port on each side meaning it cannot plug directly into another male connector.

Questions about this item

Will the 9.8 in cable reach between my laptop port and a desk-mounted hub?

The cable is 9.8 in long with a 5.5 mm diameter, so measure the gap between your two USB Type A female ports before buying.

Do I need drivers or a special orientation to plug the gold-plated male ends in?

It is plug-and-play with no drivers; the grip treads on each connector help you insert and remove the male ends smoothly.

When should I replace this cable if the shielding wears out?

Replace it if you see intermittent 5 Gbps transfers, visible foil or braid damage, or the gold-plated pins become bent or corroded.
