SMUGDESK USB 3.0 A Male to A Male Cable 1.6Ft 3-Pack

SKU CH-KJPV-8ESR3

Three-pack of 1.6 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables for 5 Gbps data transfer with USB 2.0 and 1.1 backwards compatibility

  • Up to 5 Gbps transfer speed — 10x faster than USB 2.0
  • Nickel-plated connectors with foil and braid shielding for error-free data transmission
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports
  • 6 ft length suits desktop and portable setups
  • Three-cable pack provides spares for multiple devices

Connection Type & Speed

This SMUGDESK cable uses USB 3.0 Type A Male connectors on both ends to link a peripheral directly to a host computer. It delivers SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0, while remaining backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.

Suitable Uses & Limitations

The 1.6Ft length suits setups where the device sits close to the host, such as a desktop hard-drive enclosure, printer, camera, or Wacom tablet. Buyers who need to bridge a longer distance between equipment should look at something else, as this cable does not reach further than the stated length.

Build Integration

Nickel-plated connectors, bare copper conductors, and foil-and-braid shielding combine to give reliable, error-free transmission without requiring driver installation. The plug-and-play design frees up setup time, and the three-pack provides spare cables for multiple peripherals or replacement needs.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need to use this 1.6Ft cable?

Your computer needs a USB 3.0 Type A port to achieve the 5 Gbps speed, but the cable also works with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports at their slower speeds.

Will this cable work with my older USB 2.0 external hard drive?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though data transfer will be limited to the older port's maximum speed.

How can I confirm the cable is running at the full 5 Gbps rate?

Connect the cable between a USB 3.0 host port and a USB 3.0 device, then verify the operating system reports a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection.
