Microconnect MC-ITH-USB3AB-003 USB cable USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 3 m USB A USB B Black

MicroConnect USB 3.0 A male to B male cable, length 3 m, provides a direct wired connection between a USB 3.0 host (PC, laptop, hub) and devices with a USB 3.0 B port such as printers, scanners and external drives. The cable supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data rates while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Its 3-metre length is intended for desktop and office environments that require flexible device placement without compromising transfer performance.

Advantages

The cable offers SuperSpeed USB 3.0 throughput for fast data transfer and reliable file operations. Backward compatibility ensures it works with older USB 2.0/1.1 devices when connected to matching ports. The 3 m length reduces the need for device relocation while maintaining signal integrity for typical office and home setups. Standard A to B connectors fit common host ports and peripheral sockets, enabling straightforward plug-and-play use without additional drivers on modern operating systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop hosts to USB 3.0 printers and multifunction devices
• Linking external USB 3.0 hard drives or SSD enclosures to a computer
• Integrating scanners and other USB-B peripherals in office workstations
• Replacing or extending existing USB 3.0 A–B cables for improved reach

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Connector types: Type A (male) to Type B (male)
• Length: 3 metres
• Data transfer: Up to USB 3.0 SuperSpeed rates (theoretical)
• Usage environment: desktop, office, home

How to use

Connect the Type A male end to an available USB port on your computer, laptop or hub and plug the Type B male end into the USB B socket of the peripheral device. The operating system should detect the device automatically and, where applicable, select the appropriate driver. For optimal SuperSpeed performance ensure both host and peripheral ports support USB 3.0 and that the cable is fully inserted at both ends.

Recommendations

To maintain transfer stability, avoid sharp bends and heavy kinks in the cable and keep it away from high-interference sources. For sustained high-speed transfers, connect devices directly to host ports or powered hubs that support USB 3.0. If you experience connectivity issues, try reseating both ends and testing with a different USB 3.0 port.
