SKU CH-JAZT-965Z2

  • Up to 5 Gbps transfer speed with USB 3.0 devices
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports
  • Nickel-plated connectors, bare copper conductors, foil & braid shielding
  • 6 ft length suits close-range desktop connections

Three-cable pack for short-range USB 3.0 links

This set contains three USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables, each 1.6 feet long. They connect peripherals such as external hard-drive enclosures, printers, cameras or hubs directly to a host computer. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers and works with both Mac and PC systems.

5 Gbps SuperSpeed rating

Each cable supports USB 3.0 data rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times the throughput of USB 2.0. The connection remains backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, though speed will fall back to the slower standard when either end lacks USB 3.0 support.

Nickel-plated connectors

Bare copper conductors and dual shielding reduce interference for error-free transmission. The short length keeps desk clutter low and suits setups where the peripheral sits close to the host, such as a laptop cooling pad, a 2.5-inch drive enclosure or a USB hub. Builds that need longer runs or a different connector type will require other cables.

Questions about this item

What does 5 Gbps mean when I plug this cable into my computer and drive?

It is the maximum SuperSpeed USB 3.0 rate; actual throughput depends on the host controller, drive speed and file sizes, so real-world transfers will be lower.

Which USB standard does the Type A male connector follow and what does that limit?

The connector follows USB 3.0, capping the link at 5 Gbps and requiring both ends to be USB 3.0 compliant to reach that speed.

How long is each cable and will it reach my external hard drive enclosure?

Each cable is 1.6 ft long, so measure the distance between your computer port and the enclosure before deciding if the length is sufficient.
