What this cable connects

This USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cable links peripherals such as external hard drives, cameras, digitizers and laptop cooling fans to a computer, television or USB wall charger. It is built for users who need a short, direct link between two USB A ports without an intermediate hub. The 1.6 ft length keeps cable clutter to a minimum on tight desks.

Transfer speed that defines fit

The cable supports a super high-speed transmission rate of up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times the throughput of USB 2.0 while remaining backward compatible with 2.0 devices. If your workflow moves large video or backup files, this bandwidth decides whether the cable will keep pace; slower archives or simple charging tasks will not need it.

Plug in and route

Both ends are standard USB A plugs with an aluminum alloy shell and integrated strain relief, so insertion feels firm and the jacket resists bending at the connector. The short run leaves little slack, so measure the gap between ports before ordering — stretching the cable tight across a chassis can stress the ports. No drivers are required on any mainstream operating system.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my laptop?

It allows USB 3.0 devices to run at their full 5 Gbps speed instead of falling back to the slower 2.0 rate, so large file transfers finish much faster.

Which USB standard does the Type A to Type A connection use, and what does that limit?

The cable follows the USB 3.0 specification, capping data throughput at 5 Gbps while remaining backward compatible with 2.0 ports.

Will the 1.6 ft length and aluminum housing fit behind my desktop tower without strain?

The short 1.6 ft length and slim aluminum alloy casing are designed for tight spaces behind towers, TVs or wall chargers, reducing cable clutter and connector stress.
