USB 3.0 Type-A Male-to-Male Cable 0.5 m

This cable connects two USB Type-A ports and supports USB 3.0 data rates up to 5 Gbps. It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. The short 0.5 m length suits desktop setups where devices sit close together. It is intended for external hard drives, modems, printers, cameras, computers and laptops.

Build integration with a short Type-A link

The male-to-male design links a host and a peripheral directly without an intermediate hub. The 0.5 m reach keeps cable clutter low on a crowded desk or inside a compact chassis. Builders needing longer runs or a different connector gender will need another cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 Gbps link hold steady during long file transfers to an external hard drive?

The cable supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at up to 5 Gbps and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, so sustained throughput depends on the drive and host controller rather than the cable itself.

Does the 0.5 m length keep the cable cool when a modem draws power all day?

At half a metre the conductors are short, limiting resistive heating, and the USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male design carries standard bus power without extra connectors that could warm up.
