USB-A to USB-B 3.0 cable set

This three-pack supplies 0.5-metre cables that connect USB-A hosts to USB-B 3.0 peripherals. The short length keeps desk runs tidy for printers, scanners, external drives and docking stations. Buyers needing longer reach between devices should choose a different length.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed interface

Each cable carries the USB 3.0 specification for 5 Gbit/s signalling between Type-A and Type-B connectors. The standard decides whether the link will operate at SuperSpeed rather than High-Speed. No other protocol or revision is supported by these connectors.

Sustained transfer behaviour

The copper conductors maintain the rated 5 Gbit/s rate across the full half-metre run during extended file moves. Signal integrity does not degrade with continuous throughput the way longer passive cables can. Heavy bulk transfers therefore finish at the interface ceiling.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.0 rating mean when the cable is plugged into a real machine?

The 3.0 rating indicates the cable supports USB 3.0 data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps when connected between compatible USB-A and USB-B 3.0 ports.

Which USB standard does the cable use and what does it limit in practice?

It uses the USB 3.0 standard with USB-A and USB-B connectors, limiting the connection to USB 3.0 speeds and the physical USB-B 3.0 port shape.

What length and connector combination does the 0.5 m cable need to fit my device?

Each cable is 0.5 metres long with a USB-A plug on one end and a USB-B 3.0 plug on the other, so it fits standard USB-A host ports and USB-B 3.0 device ports.
