Connection type and length

This is a 3 ft SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable with a Type A plug on one end and a Type B plug on the other. It links USB 3.0 host controllers to peripherals such as printers, scanners or external enclosures that require the larger B connector.

Shielding and throughput

Shielded twisted-pair construction suppresses electromagnetic interference for reliable data communication. The cable delivers up to 4.8 Gbps with USB 3.0 hosts and devices, which is 10 times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0.

Build quality and daily use

Male-to-male connectors and a blue PVC jacket identify the USB 3.0 pinout at a glance. The 3 ft reach suits desktop setups where the peripheral sits close to the host, while the lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the 9-pin Type A and Type B connectors into my USB 3.0 ports?

Align the blue 9-pin Type A plug with the host port and the 9-pin Type B plug with the device port; both insert one way only, so do not force them.

Will the shielding or connectors degrade and need replacement?

The Shielded Twisted Pair construction and male-to-male connectors are built for lasting use and carry a lifetime limited warranty.

What throughput limit appears first during a long 4.8 Gbps transfer?

The cable supports up to 4.8 Gbps with USB 3.0 host and device; sustained speed will be limited by the connected devices, not the cable itself.
