SMUGDESK 3 Pack USB 3.0 Type A Male to Male Cable 3.3ft Black

SKU CH-203W-XBAQH

Three-pack of 3.3 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables for 5 Gbps data transfer with USB 2.0 and 1.1 backwards compatibility

  • 5 Gbps transfer speed with USB 3.0 devices
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports
  • Three cables at 3.3 ft each for flexible placement
  • Connects USB 3.0 Type A peripherals to computers
  • Supports external hard drives, hubs, cameras and more

Three-pack USB 3.0 Type-A cables

This pack contains three USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male cables, each 3.3 ft long. They connect USB 3.0 peripherals such as external hard drives, hubs, monitors or cameras to a computer. The cables suit home-office users, content creators and anyone needing spare links for multiple devices. Black finish keeps the setup looking tidy.

SuperSpeed 5 Gbps with backward compatibility

USB 3.0 delivers up to 5 Gbps when both host and device support the standard, which is 10x the rate of USB 2.0. The cables also work with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports at the slower speeds those ports allow. No extra drivers are required for normal file-transfer use.

Replaces worn or too-short Type-A leads

Use these to replace damaged cables or to extend reach where the original lead is only 1.64 ft. The 3.3 ft length helps when the peripheral sits farther from the host. They do not serve USB Type-C, Micro-B or Mini-B ports, so buyers needing those connectors should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB 3.0 Type A male ends to my external hard drive enclosure and computer?

Plug one male Type A connector into the enclosure's Type A port and the other into the computer's USB 3.0 Type A port; the step often missed is ensuring both ports are USB 3.0 compliant to reach 5 Gbps.

Will the cable jacket or connectors degrade after repeated plugging into a laptop cooling pad?

The connectors are rated for standard USB durability cycles; no user-serviceable parts exist, so replacement is only needed if physical damage occurs to the 3.3 ft cable or gold-plated contacts.

At what point does sustained 5 Gbps transfer hit a limit with these cables?

The 5 Gbps ceiling is set by the USB 3.0 specification itself; real-world throughput will plateau there and cannot exceed it regardless of cable length within the 3.3 ft spec.
