3m USB 3.0 A-to-A Cable

This three-metre cable carries a USB 3.0 Type-A male plug on each end. It links USB 3.0 peripherals such as external drives, docks or cameras to a host port or hub. The black PVC jacket and moulded strain reliefs are built for regular desk or rack use.

Replaces shorter or USB 2.0 cables

Use this lead when the standard one-metre cable supplied with a device cannot reach the host port. The USB 3.0 rating supports 5 Gbps throughput, so the upgrade is worthwhile only when the connected hardware and host controller both operate at that speed. It will not add bandwidth to USB 2.0-only equipment.

Simple plug-and-play installation

No drivers or configuration are required; insert each Type-A connector until it seats firmly. The only common issue is attempting to force the plug in upside down, which can bend the internal contacts. Ensure the host port and device both support USB 3.0 to obtain the rated transfer rate.

Questions about this item

What clearance do the moulded USB-A plugs with strain relief need behind a port?

The moulded USB-A plugs include integrated strain relief, so allow enough straight space behind each connector to avoid sharp bends that could stress the cable.

How do I connect this 3m USB 3.0 A-to-A cable between my computer and a hub?

Plug one Type A male end into the host USB-A port and the other Type A male end into the hub USB-A port; the connection is passive and requires no driver installation.

What wear should I watch for on this 10 ft USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable over time?

Inspect the strain-relief collars and connector shells periodically; replace the cable if the moulding cracks, pins bend, or intermittent data transfers appear.
