What this cable connects

The Monoprice 108609 is a USB 2.0 cable with a USB-A male connector at each end. It links two host ports or a host to a device that accepts a standard Type-A plug. The 1.5 ft length keeps the run short for desk or bench use.

Gold-plated contacts and wire gauge

Gold plating on the connectors resists corrosion over repeated insertions. The 28/24AWG construction uses heavier gauge conductors for the power lines and thinner ones for data, supporting the rated 480 Mbps signalling rate without excess bulk.

Speed headroom and length limit

At 480 Mbps the cable handles printers, scanners, external hard drives and other USB 2.0 peripherals without bottleneck. The 1.50 ft reach suits adjacent equipment; it will not span a room or reach a floor-standing tower from a desk. Buyers needing longer runs or USB 3.0 throughput should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated connectors on this 108609 cable need cleaning or replacement over time?

The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion so they do not require routine cleaning or scheduled replacement under normal use.

What limit appears first when this 1.5 ft USB 2.0 cable runs at 480 Mbps continuously?

The USB 2.0 specification caps sustained throughput at 480 Mbps, so the signalling rate itself is the first bottleneck.

Does the 28/24 AWG wire gauge make this cable run warmer during all-day transfers?

The heavier 24 AWG power conductors keep voltage drop low, so the cable stays cool even during extended high-speed sessions.
