Three black USB 3.0 A-to-A cables coiled together, 1.65 ft each, male connectors both ends

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK USB 3.0 A to A Cable 1.65ft 3-Pack Black

SKU CH-YPMW-XM9V7

Three USB 3.0 A-to-A cables, each 1.65 ft long, move data at up to 5 Gbps and work with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports

Cable Length 1.64 Feet

  • 3-Pack provides spare cables for multiple devices
  • USB 3.0 delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer speed
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports
  • Reinforced design tested to 20,000+ bends for durability
  • 65ft length suits close-range connections

What this cable does

This three-pack supplies USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-male cables, each 1.65ft long, for connecting peripherals that use a Type-A port directly to a computer or hub. Typical uses include 2.5-inch drive enclosures, DVD players, laptop cooling pads, cameras and set-top boxes.

Speed ceiling and backwards behaviour

The link runs at up to 5 Gbps when both ends are USB 3.0 compliant, otherwise it falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds. The 5 Gbps rate is only achieved with matching host and device ports; mixing generations drops the connection to the slower standard.

What it replaces and when to choose it

The cables replace older USB 2.0 Type-A links where faster bulk transfers matter, such as moving large media libraries from external drives. They do not suit devices that require USB-C, Micro-B or Mini-B connectors, nor situations needing longer reach than 1.65ft.

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for a 2.5-inch hard-drive enclosure?

The 1.65ft length keeps the cable tidy on a desk while still reaching a rear port on most laptops or towers.

What does the 5 Gbps figure mean when I copy files to an external drive?

It is the theoretical peak of the USB 3.0 link; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the drive, the host controller and the file sizes being transferred.

Will the USB 3.0 Type-A plugs work in my older USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the connectors are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, but the link will run at the slower port's maximum speed.
