SMUGDESK USB 3.0 A to A male cable 6.6 ft 3-pack

SKU CH-66BC-KS6QP

Three USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male cables, each 6.6 ft long, deliver 5 Gbps transfer speeds for hard-drive enclosures, laptop coolers and other Type-A peripherals

  • Up to 5 Gbps transfer speed, ten times faster than USB 2.0
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports
  • Nickel-plated connectors with foil and braid shielding for error-free data transmission
  • Male-to-male USB 3.0 Type A cable connects peripherals to computers
  • Three cables each 6.6 ft long for flexible placement

What this cable does

This three-pack of USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male cables connects peripherals such as hard-drive enclosures, DVD players or laptop coolers directly to a computer. Each lead is 6.6 ft long and rated for up to 5 Gbps throughput, which is 10 times the speed of USB 2.0. The cables are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.

Who should buy and who should not

Buyers who need a straightforward link between two Type-A ports for file transfers or device power will find these leads suitable. They are not intended for anyone requiring a Type-C, Micro-B or Mini-B connector, nor for setups that demand longer runs than 6.6 ft. The male-to-male design also means they cannot serve as an extension for an existing cable.

The spec that decides fit

The decisive detail is the USB 3.0 Type-A male connector on both ends combined with a 6.6 ft length. If your devices present Type-A ports and the distance matches, the cables will work; otherwise a different connector type or length is required.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 speed after connecting it?

Connect the cable between a USB 3.0 Type A port and a compatible device such as a 2.5-inch external hard drive enclosure, then check the transfer rate in your operating system or run a benchmark tool to confirm speeds up to 5 Gbps.

What exactly is included in the 3-pack and do I need any extra adapters?

The pack contains three USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables each 6.6 ft long with nickel-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding; no additional adapters are required for devices with USB 3.0 Type A ports.

Which cable length should I choose for a laptop cooler placed on a desk?

The 6.6 ft length provides enough slack to route from a laptop USB port to a cooler on the same desk without tension, while the 1.6 ft version suits tighter setups where devices sit side by side.
