USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cable, 0.5 m

This SMUGDESK cable connects two USB Type A ports and is intended for linking peripherals such as external hard drives, radiators or webcams to a host computer. It is built for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed operation and carries a 0.5 m length.

Practical limits of the USB 3.0 interface

The cable supports up to 5 Gbps data transfer, which is 10 times the throughput of USB 2.0, and remains backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. Buyers who need a longer reach than 1.65 feet or a different connector type will require another solution.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 0.5 m length or the 1.65 ft length for my hard-disk setup?

Both figures describe the same cable — 0.5 m equals 1.65 ft — so choose the unit you prefer; the physical length is identical.

Will the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rating actually give me that throughput when I plug this into my PC?

The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 signalling ceiling; real-world transfer rates depend on your drive, controller and cable quality, so expect somewhat lower sustained speeds.
