USB A to USB A cable GEMBIRD 68904, USB 2.0, 3 m, black

GEMBIRD 68904 is a 3 m USB 2.0 data cable with USB A connectors on both ends, designed to connect compatible USB-A devices for data transfer or to provide power between hosts and peripherals. The cable supports transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features a black finish that matches common computer and peripheral equipment. Its three-metre length offers extended reach for setups where devices cannot be placed close together.

Advantages

The cable provides a standard USB 2.0 connection with plug-and-play compatibility for many devices that use Type-A interfaces, enabling straightforward data exchange and basic power delivery without additional drivers. Its 3 m length reduces the need for intermediate hubs or adapters and helps maintain a tidy workspace by allowing flexible device placement. The black jacket is resistant to visible dirt and integrates visually with most office and home electronics.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives or enclosures to a computer with USB-A ports (when the device uses a USB-A to USB-A interface)
• Linking printers, scanners or other legacy peripherals that accept USB-A input
• Extending the reach between USB-A host and peripheral devices where longer cable runs are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 2.0 (High Speed, up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: black
• Primary use: data transfer and basic power delivery between USB-A devices

How to use

Insert one USB A plug into the host computer or power source and the other USB A plug into the peripheral device. Ensure that both devices support USB-A connections and that the connected devices are powered on. The cable is plug-and-play under most modern operating systems; once connected, the host should detect the peripheral and establish data communication automatically or prompt for any required drivers specific to the device.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable or placing it near sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use this USB 2.0 cable for devices and tasks that require High Speed USB 2.0 rates; for higher-speed applications (such as USB 3.x devices), use a cable that matches the higher USB standard to achieve faster transfer rates.
