Vszerda USB 3.0 A to A Male Cable 1.64ft

What the cable connects

This USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cable links a peripheral that has a Type A port to a computer for file transfer. It acts as an extension for the existing USB 3.0 connection and works with hard drive enclosures, laptop coolers, DVD players, cameras, hubs and monitors. No driver is required; the link is plug-and-play on Windows desktops and laptops. The cable does not support direct connection between two computers.

Speed and backward compatibility

The cable is rated for up to 5 Gbps SuperSpeed transfer, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0. It remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, so older hosts can still communicate with USB 3.0 peripherals at the legacy rate. Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding are used to preserve signal clarity and reduce interference. The construction has been tested for more than 10,000 bending cycles.

Check your ports before ordering

Verify that the device you want to connect presents a USB Type A port and not a different connector such as USB-C, Micro-B or Lightning. The cable is 1.64 ft long, so confirm that the distance between the host and the peripheral fits this length. Ensure the host port can supply enough power for bus-powered enclosures or coolers, because the cable itself does not add power delivery. Buyers who need to link two computers directly or who require a longer reach should look for a different solution.
