USB 3.0 A Male to Male Cable 3 m

This three-metre cable carries a USB 3.0 Type-A plug at each end for direct host-to-device links. It suits users who need to connect a hard-drive enclosure, printer, camera or hub to a computer without an intermediate adapter. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation on Windows or macOS. Gold-plated contacts and foil-plus-braid shielding protect signal integrity.

Replaces shorter or USB 2.0 leads

The five-gigabit-per-second rate is ten times faster than USB 2.0, so the upgrade is worthwhile when moving large media libraries or streaming high-resolution video from an external drive. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports means the cable still works on older sockets, though at the lower speed. It is not suited for buyers who require a USB-C or Micro-B connector on either end.

Sustained throughput under shielding

Bare copper conductors and the combined foil and braid shield minimise electromagnetic interference during long transfers, keeping error rates low over the full three-metre run. The jacket survives more than ten thousand bend cycles, so repeated routing behind desks or through cable trays does not degrade performance. No active circuitry is present, so the link behaves passively under continuous load.

Questions about this item

What type of USB ports does the 3-metre cable plug into?

It connects two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, so both ends need a standard rectangular USB-A socket.

How do I install the cable without damaging the connectors?

Align the gold-plated Type-A plug with the port, insert straight until it clicks, and avoid forcing it at an angle.

How long will the cable last with daily bending?

The cable is tested for over 10,000 bend cycles, so routine flexing behind a desk or monitor should not cause breakage.
