What this cable does
This six-foot USB 3.0 Type A to Type B cable links a computer to peripherals such as printers, scanners or external hard drives. The male-to-male design removes the need for extra adapters. A PVC jacket and aluminum-mylar foil with braid protect the conductors during daily use.
Installation notes
Plug the Type A end into a USB 3.0 port on your desktop or laptop and the Type B end into the device. The nine-pin Type A connector fits standard USB 3.0 receptacles. No drivers are required on modern operating systems. Forcing the connector upside down can damage the port.
Check before ordering
Verify that your computer has a USB Type A port and that the peripheral uses a USB Type B socket. The cable supports 5 Gb/s transfer rates, so the host port must be USB 3.0 to reach that speed. It will not fit Micro-B, Mini-B or USB-C device ports.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the cable is delivering USB 3.0 speeds after connecting it?
Check the host computer's device manager or system profiler to verify the link is negotiated at 5 Gb/s, which is the rated SuperSpeed transfer rate for USB 3.0.
What comes in the package and do I need any extra adapters for a standard printer or external drive?
The box contains one 6-foot black cable with a USB 3.0 Type-A male plug on one end and a Type-B male plug on the other; the male-to-male design means no separate adapters are required.
Which length or connector variant should I choose if my device sits about six feet from the computer?
This specific model is a fixed 6-foot cable with Type-A to Type-B connectors, matching the distance and port types described.
