  • 10 Gbps transfer speed for fast file moves
  • 13 cm flat FPC design fits tight spaces
  • USB 3.1 Type A to USB 3.0 Type A connects legacy peripherals
  • Alloy-shell overmold protects against daily wear
  • Supports external drives on laptops and desktops

What this cable does

This Fervit cable connects a USB 3.1 Type A host port to a USB 3.0 Type A device using a flat FPC design. The 13 cm length suits tight spaces inside a laptop or desktop chassis. It is built for users who need a short, low-profile link for external drives or peripherals. The alloy-shell overmold protects the connectors during repeated insertion.

Practical limits of the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface

The link is rated for 10 Gbps, matching the USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification. When plugged into a USB 3.0 port the connection falls back to 5 Gbps, so the higher rate is only available on both ends. The flat FPC construction keeps the cable thin but does not increase the electrical reach beyond the 13 cm supplied. Users needing longer runs must choose a different cable type.

Build quality and daily implications

The flat sleeve and alloy overmold resist kinking and survive tight routing behind motherboards or drive cages. Both ends use standard Type A plugs, so no adapters are required for common ports. The short length reduces clutter but limits placement to devices sitting very close to the host port. Builders who need more reach or a right-angle exit will find this cable unsuitable.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a different length or connector type for this Fervit flat FPC cable?

This model is offered as a 13 cm USB 3.1 Type A male to USB 3.0 Type A male flat FPC cable; no other lengths or connector variants are listed.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my laptop and an external drive?

The 10 Gbps figure is the maximum data-transfer rate the cable supports; actual speed will be limited by the host port, the drive and the USB 3.0 Type A connector on the device end.

Which USB standard does the Type A male connector on the device side use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The device-side connector is USB 3.0 Type A, which caps the practical throughput at 5 Gbps even though the cable itself is rated for 10 Gbps.
