Nippon Labs USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-A Cable, Blue 1ft 5Gbps Gold Plated, M/M

A 1 ft USB 3.0 cable with a USB-A male plug on both ends, in blue. A-to-A cables are for devices that use a USB-A upstream port instead of USB-B or USB-C: the built-in hub on many monitors, KVM switches, external drive docks, laptop cooling pads and some hubs and DACs. The short length keeps a desk tidy when the port and the device are inches apart.

Highlights

• USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) SuperSpeed at 5 Gbps, ten times USB 2.0; backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
• Gold-plated connectors for a corrosion-free contact.
• Double shielding against EMI and RFI interference.
• Blue jacket for quick identification; 1 ft length.
• RoHS compliant materials.

Specifications

Good to know

A USB A-to-A cable does not link two computers to each other; that needs a dedicated bridging cable with electronics in the middle. Use it only where a device is designed with a USB-A upstream port. Longer A-to-A lengths and the black version are in our USB 2.0 and 3.0 cables, and the history of USB explains where the A connector came from.
