ACT USB 3.0 A male - USB A female 1.50 m Cable Black

The ACT USB 3.0 A male - USB A female 1.50 m Cable Black provides a straightforward extension solution for USB A connections. With a 1.5 m length and USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatibility, this cable supports high-speed data transfer between devices while maintaining the familiar USB A connector form. The black finish offers a neutral appearance suitable for home, office, or studio environments.

Advantages

This cable extends a USB A connection without requiring adapters, preserving USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer rates and backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The male-to-female design allows easy access to ports placed in awkward positions and reduces wear on device ports by acting as a replaceable extension. The 1.5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for everyday data and peripheral connections.

Suitable for

• Extending an existing USB A port to reach a peripheral
• Connecting external hard drives, flash drives and USB hubs where extra reach is needed
• Temporary connections for keyboards, mice and other USB-A peripherals
• Routing cable to a more convenient location on a desk or workstation

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A male to USB A female
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) compatible
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Supports high-speed data transfer and backward compatibility with USB 2.0/1.1

How to use

Insert the USB A male plug into the host device's USB A port and connect the USB A plug of the peripheral to the cable's female end. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a reliable data connection. The cable requires no driver installation and functions with devices that support USB A connections and USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates. For best results, connect directly to host ports or powered USB hubs when using external drives or power-hungry peripherals.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks near the connectors, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources, and use the 1.5 m length for near-desk extensions rather than long permanent runs. When maximum transfer speed is required, connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the host and ensure the peripheral also supports USB 3.2 Gen 1.
