  • Works instantly with no driver installation required on Windows, Mac or Linux

USB 3.0 Male-to-Male Cable 1.6 ft 3-Pack

This pack contains three USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-A cables, each measuring 1.6 ft. They connect peripherals with a USB 3.0 Type-A port directly to a computer or hub for data transfer. No drivers are required; the cables operate on a plug-and-play basis with hard-drive enclosures, printers, modems, cameras and other SuperSpeed USB devices.

Upgrade from USB 2.0 cables

The cables support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer up to 5 Gbps, which is 10x faster than USB 2.0. They are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, so they also allow USB 3.0 devices to work on legacy computers. The jump is worth it when moving large files between external drives and a host system where speed matters.

Users needing short Type-A links in multi-device

The 1.6 ft length suits tight desk spaces, rack shelves or side-by-side gear where longer cables create clutter. Nickel-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding aim to keep transmission error-free. Buyers who need Type-C connectors, longer reach or power-delivery capability should look at something else.

Questions about this item

What type of USB ports must my devices have for these 1.6Ft cables to connect?

Each cable has USB 3.0 Male Type A connectors on both ends, so both devices need a USB 3.0 Type A port; they also work with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 Type A ports.

What is the correct way to plug in the USB 3.0 Male to Male cable, and what mistake should I avoid?

Align the connector with the port and push straight in using the grip treads; do not force it upside down, as the Type A shape only fits one way.

Which parts of the cable are most likely to wear out and need replacement later?

The nickel-plated connectors and molded strain relief are built for durability; if the foil and braid shielding or bare copper conductors become damaged, the cable should be replaced.
