FAQ

Can I use this to connect two computers?
No. A plain A-to-A cable is not a data link between two PCs and can be unsafe for that use. It is for devices whose upstream port is USB-A, such as some hard drive enclosures, KVMs, docks and cooling pads.

Is USB 3.0 backward compatible?
Yes. It works with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports and devices, running at the speed of the slower device.
