SMUGDESK USB 3.0 A to A Cable 3-Pack 6.6ft

SKU CH-88GP-8XN38

Three cables connect USB-A peripherals to a host at up to 5 Gbps and are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports

  • Connect peripherals to computers with USB-A 3.0 ports
  • Transfer large files at up to 5 Gbps speed
  • Works with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports for broad compatibility
  • Reinforced connectors survive over 20,000 bend cycles
  • Three cables each 6.6 ft long for flexible placement

Three-Pack Convenience

This three-pack supplies three identical USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male cables, each 6.6ft long. The set is intended for users who need multiple connections for peripherals such as external hard-drive enclosures, DVD players, laptop cooling pads, monitors or cameras. Having three cables on hand lets you equip several devices or workstations at once without reusing a single lead.

Sustained Transfer Stability

The cables are rated for SuperSpeed USB 3.0 performance up to 5 Gbps when both host and device support the 3.0 specification. Premium pure-copper conductors and multiple shielding layers maintain signal clarity during extended file transfers, while the reinforced strain-relief design has been tested to over 20,000 bending cycles to resist fatigue under repeated plugging and routing. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports ensures the link remains active even on older hosts, albeit at the lower speeds those ports provide.

Direct Replacement For Worn Or Short Leads

These cables replace damaged, unreliable or too-short Type-A-to-Type-A leads that currently limit peripheral placement. The jump is worth it when an existing cable fails the bending test, restricts device positioning or cannot deliver the 5 Gbps rate because of inferior shielding. They are not for buyers who need a Type-C connector, a Micro-B or Mini-B interface, or a single longer run beyond the 6.6ft length supplied.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A connector draw noticeable power or run warm during all-day transfers?

The cable is passive copper with shielding and carries standard USB 3.0 bus power, so it adds no extra heat or power draw beyond what the host and device already negotiate.

What must I already own to use these 6.6 ft A-to-A cables?

You need two devices that each have a USB 3.0 Type-A port — such as a computer and a 2.5-inch hard-drive enclosure, hub, camera or Blu-ray drive — because both ends are male Type-A plugs.

Will these cables work with my older USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at reduced speed?

Yes, they are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 Type-A ports, so legacy devices will connect and operate at their native rates.
