InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 cable Type-A plug / A plug, black, 0.5m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / A male InLine 35205 is a 0.5 m black data cable with USB A connectors on both ends. Designed for USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1), it supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and reliable long-term connection performance. The compact length and standard A-to-A connectors make it suitable for short-distance device interconnections where full USB 3.2 Gen 1 throughput is required.

Advantages

The cable delivers high-speed transfers up to 5 Gbit/s while maintaining compatibility with older USB standards, allowing flexible use across a variety of devices. Gold-plated contacts reduce oxidation and help maintain a stable electrical connection over time. Its 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter in desktop setups and provides a tidy, short link between devices. The standard USB A male connectors ensure broad compatibility with host ports and many peripherals.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to a computer for fast file transfers
• Linking printers, scanners or other peripherals with USB A sockets to a host PC
• Short-distance data synchronization between compatible devices requiring USB A-to-A cabling
• Temporary connections in lab, repair or testing environments where compact cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A male to USB A male
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 / USB 3.0)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: black

How to use

Connect one USB A male connector to the host device (for example, a computer or compatible hub) and the other USB A male connector to the peripheral device (such as an external drive or printer). Ensure both devices support the required USB mode for optimal transfer speeds; if one device is limited to an older USB standard, transfer speeds will default to that device's maximum. Avoid forcing connectors into ports and insert them with correct orientation to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

For sustained high-speed transfers, use directly between host and peripheral ports rather than through passive adapters or low-quality hubs. Keep the 0.5 m cable free from sharp bends and excessive tension. If devices require power negotiation or specialized connection types, verify compatibility before transferring critical data.
