USB A to A data cable

This 3.3 foot USB 2.0 cable connects two devices that both have USB Type A female ports. It uses a male-to-male configuration with copper conductors and foil plus braid shielding to reduce EMI and RFI interference. The twisted-pair construction further limits crosstalk for reliable data transfer.

Shielding and plug-and-play operation

Foil and braid shielding combined with twisted-pair wiring help maintain signal integrity up to the rated 480 megabytes per second. The cable works immediately without drivers on PC and Mac systems for keyboards, mice, modems, printers and other USB peripherals. Backward compatibility with USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps is supported.

Suited for direct device-to-device links

This cable suits users who need to link two USB A female ports such as a printer, scanner or external drive directly to a computer or hub. It does not suit connections that require USB Type B, Micro, Mini or Type C connectors. Buyers needing longer runs or different connector types should look at alternative cables.

Questions about this item

Will the foil-and-braid shielding on this 3.3 ft USB 2.0 A-to-A cable degrade over time and require replacement?

The shielding is a permanent part of the cable construction; it does not wear out under normal use, so no scheduled replacement is needed.

What is the first bottleneck when transferring large files continuously at the rated 480 Mbps?

The USB 2.0 interface itself caps sustained throughput at 480 Mbps, so the cable will not be the limiting factor.

Does the copper conductors and shielding generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day data transfers?

The cable is passive with no active electronics, so it adds negligible heat and draws only the tiny current required by the connected USB 2.0 device.
