What this cable connects

This six-foot USB 3.0 cable links a Type-A host port to a Type-B device port, both male. It supports SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s with shielded twisted-pair construction and 28 AWG conductors. The PVC jacket and moulded strain reliefs are rated for operating temperatures from -10 °C to 50 °C and humidity up to 75 % RH.

Check your ports before ordering

Verify that the host side provides a USB 3.0 Standard-A receptacle and the peripheral side accepts a USB 3.0 Standard-B plug. The cable will fall back to 480 Mbit/s if either end is only USB 2.0. Ensure the six-foot length fits the distance between your devices without tension on the connectors.

Behaviour during long transfers

Foil-shielded twisted pairs suppress electromagnetic interference so sustained throughput remains stable near the 5 Gbit/s ceiling. The 28 AWG conductors and moulded strain reliefs resist heat build-up across the full -10 °C to 50 °C operating range, preventing the signal degradation that can appear on lighter cables during extended sessions.
