USB 3.0 A-to-A male cable 10 ft

This ten-foot cable has a USB 3.0 Type-A plug on each end. It links a SuperSpeed peripheral such as a hard-drive enclosure or webcam to a computer without any driver installation. The male-to-male design extends an existing USB 3.0 connection rather than joining two hosts. Gold-plated contacts and bare copper conductors are used for reliable signal transmission.

USB 3.0 interface practical limits

The cable supports up to 5 Gbps data throughput and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. It cannot carry video signals, does not support direct computer-to-computer transfers and provides no charging capability. Buyers who need video output, host-to-host networking or power delivery must choose a different cable type.

Male-to-male Type-A connector decides fit

Both ends are standard USB 3.0 Type-A male plugs, so the peripheral and the host must each present a matching female Type-A port. Devices that only offer Type-C, Micro-B or proprietary connectors cannot be used with this cable.

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for a desktop-to-peripheral run?

The cable is supplied at 10 ft, giving enough slack to reach a hard-drive enclosure or DVD player across a typical desk without excess coil.

What does the 5 Gbps rating deliver when I copy files to an external drive?

It provides USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer, up to ten times faster than USB 2.0, so large backups complete noticeably quicker on a compatible port.

Will the USB 3.0 Type-A plugs work with my older USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, though speed will fall back to the older standard's limit.
