What this cable connects

This six-foot USB 3.0 cable links a Type-A host port to a Type-B device port, both male. It supports SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s with shielded twisted-pair construction and 28 AWG conductors. The PVC jacket and moulded strain reliefs are rated for operating temperatures from -10 °C to 50 °C and humidity up to 75 % RH.

Check your ports before ordering

Verify that the host side provides a USB 3.0 Standard-A receptacle and the peripheral side accepts a USB 3.0 Standard-B plug. The cable will fall back to 480 Mbit/s if either end is only USB 2.0. Ensure the six-foot length fits the distance between your devices without tension on the connectors.

Behaviour during long transfers

Foil-shielded twisted pairs suppress electromagnetic interference so sustained throughput remains stable near the 5 Gbit/s ceiling. The 28 AWG conductors and moulded strain reliefs resist heat build-up across the full -10 °C to 50 °C operating range, preventing the signal degradation that can appear on lighter cables during extended sessions.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the cable and is anything else required?

The cable has a 9-pin USB 3.0 Type A male connector on one end and a 9-pin USB 3.0 Type B male connector on the other. No extra parts are needed for a direct A-to-B link.

Should I choose a different length or colour for my setup?

This model is a 6 ft black cable. Other lengths or colours would be different part numbers.

What does the 5 Gbit/s rating mean when I plug it in?

With a USB 3.0 host and device the cable supports up to 5 Gbit/s throughput, which is 10 times the 480 Mbps limit of USB 2.0.
