What this cable does

The VIFIGEN USB 3.0 A Male to Male Cable is a 6 ft double-sided cord with USB Type-A connectors on both ends. It is built for data transfer at up to 5 Gbps between USB-A peripherals such as external hard drive enclosures, hubs, printers, DVD players, laptop coolers and speakers. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers or software.

Who it suits and who it does not

This cable suits anyone linking a USB-A host to a USB-A device for file transfers or peripheral connectivity. It is not for buyers who need to connect two computers directly, as the specification notes that this use case is not supported. Users requiring USB-C, Micro-USB or Lightning connectors should look at a different cable type.

The spec that decides fit

The decisive specification is the USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male interface rated for 5 Gbps. If both pieces of equipment you want to join expose a standard USB-A port and you need high-speed data syncing, this cable matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will this USB 3.0 A-to-A cable work with my USB 2.0 external hard drive enclosure?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, so it will connect your enclosure at USB 2.0 speeds.

How can I confirm the cable is running at USB 3.0 speed after I plug it in?

Check the transfer rate in your operating system; a sustained throughput near 5 Gbps indicates the link has negotiated USB 3.0.

Does the 6 ft cable include any adapters or do I need to buy them separately?

The box contains only the male-to-male USB Type-A cable; no adapters or extra connectors are included.
