Connects USB-A peripherals and patch bays

This cable links devices with female USB-A ports to a computer, laptop, Chromebook or Microsoft Surface. It provides a male-to-male connection for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer. The six-foot length suits desktop and bench setups where equipment sits apart.

Bi-directional 5 Gbps transfer with twisted wiring

Nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated contacts resist corrosion while maintaining signal integrity. Twisted 28/24 AWG data and power lines reduce crosstalk during simultaneous bi-directional traffic. The assembly is backward compatible with earlier USB generations for legacy device support.

Simple drop-in for female USB-A ports

No driver installation is required; the cable works immediately when plugged into standard USB-A receptacles. It frees up crowded rear-panel ports by extending the connection point to a convenient location. The black jacket blends with typical office and lab environments.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the U320-006-BK into a patch bay without reversing the A-to-A ends?

Both ends are male USB 3.0 Type-A; insert each into a female USB-A port on the patch bay and host, matching the blue insert orientation so the 5 Gbps pins align.

Will the nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated contacts need cleaning or replacement over time?

The plating resists oxidation; occasional dry contact cleaner on the gold tips keeps resistance low, but the cable itself has no serviceable parts.

At what point does the 28/24 AWG construction limit sustained 5 Gbps throughput?

The twisted 28/24 AWG data and power lines are rated for the full 6 ft length at 5 Gbps; signal degradation appears first beyond that distance.
