InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 cable Type-A plug / A plug, black, 3 m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / A male black 3m is a 3-meter USB data cable with Type-A male connectors on both ends, designed for reliable wired connections between computers, peripherals and storage devices. The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) data speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and is finished in black with gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion.

Advantages

This USB 3.2 Gen.1 cable provides high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and improve long-term durability. The 3 m length offers extended reach for connecting devices across a desk or workstation without needing adapters or extensions. The cable’s construction is intended for stable signal transmission suitable for data-intensive tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to PCs and laptops
• Linking printers, scanners and multifunction devices to a host computer
• Transferring large files between compatible USB-A devices
• Temporary workstation setups where a longer USB cable is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-A male to USB Type-A male
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the USB Type-A port of the host device (PC, laptop or hub) and the other end to the Type-A port of the peripheral (external drive, printer or other compatible device). Ensure both devices are powered if required by the peripheral. The cable supports plug-and-play operation; the host operating system should automatically detect standard USB storage and peripheral devices. For maximum transfer speeds, connect both devices to ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1.

Recommendations

Avoid routing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For consistent USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance, use host ports and devices that support the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard; when connected to USB 2.0 ports the data rate will fall back accordingly. Do not excessively bend or sharply kink the cable and disconnect by pulling the connector body rather than the cable jacket to prolong life.
