USB 3.0 A-to-A cable for device linking

This 0.5 m cable connects two USB 3.0 Type-A ports at up to 5 Gbps SuperSpeed. It is intended for users who need a short link between a computer and peripherals such as external hard drives, modems, printers or cameras. The connector works with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports as well, so older hosts remain usable.

Sustained transfer limited by length and host

The 1.65 ft run keeps signal loss low, but real-world throughput depends on the host controller and the attached device rather than the cable alone. Continuous heavy loads such as large drive clones will settle at the speed the endpoints can maintain, not at the theoretical 10× USB 2.0 figure. Buyers needing longer reach or a different connector type should choose another cable.

Questions about this item

Does this cable generate noticeable heat when transferring data continuously all day?

No, a passive USB 3.0 A-to-A cable draws very little current and does not produce measurable heat during sustained transfers.

You need two pieces of equipment that each have a USB 3.0 Type-A port, such as a computer and an external hard drive or a printer.
