USB 3.0 A-to-A cable for patch bays and peripherals

This 15 ft male-to-male cable links USB Type-A devices such as patch bays, external drives or docking stations to a computer, laptop, Chromebook or Surface. It is built for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed operation up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 gear. The black jacket and foil/braid shielding protect the signal over the full 4.6 m run.

Plug-and-play installation with strain relief

No drivers are required on any supported host; simply connect both Type-A plugs and the link is active. Integral strain relief lets the cable flex at the connector without stress or cracking, which is the most common failure point on long A-to-A runs. Foil/braid shielding suppresses EMI/RFI noise that can corrupt data in electrically noisy environments such as server racks or industrial panels.

5 Gbps headroom for high-speed peripherals

The cable comfortably handles USB 3.0 hard drives, SSDs, capture devices and multi-port hubs at full SuperSpeed bandwidth. It runs out of headroom when the application demands USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) or USB 3.2/4 signalling, or when the host port only provides USB 2.0 power and the peripheral draws more current than the 2.0 spec allows. Buyers who need longer runs than 15 ft or USB-C connectors should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cable is delivering USB 3.0 speeds after connecting it?

Check the transfer rate in your operating system; it should show up to 5 Gbps when linked to USB 3.0 ports, and the connection will fall back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds with older devices.

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to use it with a keystone coupler?

The package contains the 15 ft black USB A male-to-male cable; Tripp Lite keystone or panel-mount couplers such as the U325-000-KP-BK are sold separately.

Which length should I choose if I need a 15 ft run between my computer and a patch bay?

This model is the 15 ft (4.6 m) version, matching that exact distance; other lengths carry different model numbers.
