What this cable connects

The StarTech USB3SAB10BK is a ten-foot SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable with a Type-A male plug on one end and a Type-B male plug on the other. It links a host computer or hub to peripherals such as printers, scanners or external drive enclosures that use the standard Type-B port. The black PVC jacket and foil-shielded twisted-pair construction meet the USB 3.0 specification for 5 Gbit/s signalling.

Deciding specification — 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed rating

The single figure that determines whether this cable suits your device is the 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed USB 3.0 rating. If the peripheral or host port is limited to USB 2.0 the cable will still work but will not deliver the higher throughput. Conversely, ports that require USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.2 speeds will not reach their maximum rate with this cable.

Behaviour under sustained load

Foil shielding and 28 AWG conductors maintain signal integrity over the full ten-foot length during continuous high-bandwidth transfers. The cable is rated for operation from minus 10 °C to 50 °C and up to 75 % relative humidity, so extended bulk-data sessions in typical indoor environments stay within specified thermal and environmental limits. Moulded strain-relief collars protect the terminations from fatigue caused by repeated movement or vibration.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbit/s rating mean for my printer or hard drive?

It allows SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfers up to 5 Gbit/s, so large files move noticeably faster than on a 2.0 link.

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B connection limit the speed I actually see?

The cable meets the USB 3.0 spec, so the 5 Gbit/s ceiling is set by the host and device ports, not by the cable itself.

Will the 10 ft length and 28 AWG wire fit behind my desk without stress?

The 10 ft PVC jacket with foil-shielded twisted pairs and moulded strain reliefs bends easily for tidy routing.
