  • USB 3.0 delivers up to 5Gbps transfer speed, 10 times faster than USB 2.0
  • Three 1.6 ft cables connect multiple devices without extra cost
  • Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion for clear signal and minimal interference
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices
  • Works with hard-drive enclosures, DVD players, laptops, hubs and more

USB 3.0 A-to-A male cable 3-pack

This three-pack supplies 1.6 ft USB 3.0 cables with Type-A plugs on both ends. They connect external hard-drive enclosures, DVD players, laptops, cooling pads and other USB 3.0 Type-A peripherals to a host computer. Each cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.

5 Gbps transfer rate with shielded connectors

Nickel-plated, corrosion-resistant connectors and seamless moulded joints provide shielding that minimises interference. The cables support data transfer up to 5 Gbps, ten times faster than USB 2.0, while remaining fully backward compatible with 2.0 and 1.1 equipment.

Replaces shorter or USB 2.0 A-to-A cables

Use these when you need a 1.6 ft male-to-male Type-A link at 5 Gbps instead of a slower legacy cable or a different length. The jump is worth it for external enclosures, docks or hubs that require USB 3.0 speeds over a short, direct connection.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the USB 3.0 A to A male cable into my 2.5-inch external hard drive enclosure?

Insert each Type A male connector into a USB 3.0 Type A port on the enclosure and the host computer; the nickel-plated plugs fit one way only, so align the plastic tab before pushing.

What upkeep will the 3-pack of 1.6 ft USB 3.0 cables need over time?

Wipe the nickel-plated connectors with a dry cloth if they look dull; the moulded strain relief resists bending fatigue, so no scheduled replacement is required.

At what data rate does the USB 3.0 A to A cable hit its ceiling during long transfers?

The link tops out at 5 Gbps, and sustained writes to mechanical drives often settle below that once the drive cache fills.
