USB cable ACT USB 3.0 A plug - USB A plug 0.50 m

The ACT USB 3.0 A male to USB A male cable is a 0.5 m black data cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with maximum data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s. Both ends have USB A male connectors, making the cable suitable for direct device-to-device connections such as printers, external hard drives and other peripherals that use standard USB A ports.

Advantages

This USB cable provides SuperSpeed data transfer performance up to 5 Gbit/s compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 / USB 3.1 Gen 1 and is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices. The compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter while maintaining reliable connectivity, and the black finish offers a neutral, durable appearance for office or home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers to a computer
• Linking external hard drives or SSD enclosures
• Connecting USB peripherals with A-type ports

Key specifications

• Connectors: USB A (male) — USB A (male)
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.1 Gen 1 / USB 3.0)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 0.5 m

How to use

Plug one USB A male connector into the host device (for example a computer) and the other USB A male connector into the peripheral (for example a printer or external drive). Ensure both devices are powered on and recognized by the operating system. For optimal transfer speeds, connect to USB 3.x ports on both devices; if either port supports only USB 2.0, transfer rates will fall back to that standard.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable with devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and connect to blue or SuperSpeed-marked USB A ports. Avoid bending the cable sharply and keep it away from heat sources to prolong lifespan.
