USB 3.0 A-to-A data cable

The Cables To Go 54170 is a one-metre USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cable. It carries SuperSpeed data signals and power at up to 4.8 Gbps. Foil and braid shielding plus twisted-pair construction reduce interference and crosstalk. The blue overmoulded connectors identify the USB 3.0 interface.

Suited for direct peripheral links.

This cable connects USB 3.0 hard-drive enclosures, printers, modems or cameras to a compliant host port. It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts at their lower speeds. It does not support linking two host controllers or PCs directly. Buyers needing longer runs or different connector types should look elsewhere.

Moulded connectors and shielding

The single-piece overmoulded strain relief protects the solder joints from bending stress. Shielding and twisted pairs preserve the 4.8 Gbps signal integrity in noisy environments. No software, drivers or additional adapters are bundled with the cable.

Questions about this item

Do I need a USB 3.0 port on my computer for the 54170 cable to work?

The cable requires a USB 3.0 compliant host and device to reach 4.8 Gbps; it will still function with USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports at their slower 480 Mbps or lower speeds and 500 mA power limit.

Will this 1 m USB 3.0 A-to-A cable slow down my older USB 2.0 printer?

No, the Type A connectors are backwards compatible so the printer will operate at its native 480 Mbps rate; the cable simply will not deliver the 4.8 Gbps SuperSpeed or 900 mA power that USB 3.0 devices can use.

How can I confirm the 54170 cable is running at SuperSpeed after I plug it in?

Check the operating system device manager or transfer a large file; a USB 3.0 link will show 4.8 Gbps capability and the blue colour-coded connectors indicate USB 3.0 compatibility.
