USB Cable Alcasa 5m USB 3.0 A USB 3.2 Gen 1 Black

The Alcasa 5m USB 3.0 A USB 3.2 Gen 1 Black cable from Good Connections is a 5-metre USB A to USB A data cable designed for reliable wired connections between computers, hubs, external drives and peripherals. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and includes magnetic shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The black finish provides a neutral look suitable for office and home setups.

Advantages

The cable offers high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 interfaces. Its 5 m length gives additional reach for flexible device placement without the immediate need for extenders. Magnetic shielding helps minimise signal degradation in environments with other electronic equipment. The male-to-female USB A configuration allows direct connection between A-type ports and can simplify certain extension or bridging scenarios.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach between desktop PCs and USB peripherals
• Connecting external storage devices for data transfer or backup
• Linking hubs or docks where long cable runs are required
• Temporary cabling in presentations, studios or workstations

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A (male to female)
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 5 m
• Colour: Black
• Shielding: magnetic shielding to reduce interference

How to use

Plug the male USB A connector into the host device's USB A port and connect the female USB A end to the peripheral or device cable requiring extension. Ensure both connected devices support the required USB mode for the intended transfer speed; if either device is USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, the connection will negotiate to the lower speed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of high-power electrical sources to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use with USB 3.2 Gen 1–capable devices and avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power cords. If using for power delivery, verify the attached devices' power requirements — this cable is primarily designed for data transfer and may not support high-current charging for some devices.
