Connect USB 3.0 devices across two metres

This StarTech.com cable carries SuperSpeed USB 3.0 at 5 Gbit s between two USB-A male connectors. The 28 AWG conductors are foil-shielded inside a black PVC jacket rated for -10°C to 50°C operating temperature. Molded strain relief protects each end during repeated insertion cycles.

Suits fixed USB-A peripherals needing extra reach

Ideal for connecting a desktop hub, external enclosure or printer to a host port when the standard lead falls short. Not suited for devices that require USB-C, Micro-B or Mini-B interfaces. Buyers needing higher bandwidth than 5 Gbit s should look at a different cable standard.

Sustained throughput stays at the rated 5 Gbit s

The foil-shielded twisted-pair construction maintains signal integrity over the full 2 m length during long file transfers or continuous backup jobs. Operating humidity tolerance of 0 to 75 % RH ensures stable performance in typical office or workshop environments without thermal throttling.

Questions about this item

Does the host and the peripheral each need a USB 3.0 Type-A port to use this cable?

Yes, both ends are 9-pin USB 3.0 Type-A male connectors, so the computer and the device must each provide a matching USB 3.0 Type-A receptacle.

Will this cable still work at USB 2.0 speeds if I plug it into older USB 2.0 Type-A ports?

The cable is built to the USB 3.0 5 Gbit/s specification and is backward compatible, so it will operate at USB 2.0 rates when connected to legacy Type-A ports.

How can I verify the link is running at the full 5 Gbit/s rate after I connect it?

Check the operating-system device manager or system profiler; it should list the connection as SuperSpeed or USB 3.0, confirming the 5 Gbit/s link is active.
