Microconnect USB3.0AAF1B USB cable USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 1 m USB A Black

The MicroConnect USB3.0AAF1B is a 1 m USB extension cable with male USB-A connectors on both ends, compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1). It supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and features nickel-plated contacts for improved durability and reliable signal transmission. The cable comes in black and is intended for extending or connecting devices that use a USB-A plug.

Advantages

This USB cable provides a straightforward way to extend or link USB-A devices while maintaining USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbit/s. Nickel-plated contacts increase contact longevity and resistance to corrosion. The 1 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management for typical desktop and peripheral setups.

Suitable for

• Extending an existing USB A to USB A connection
• Connecting USB-A peripherals such as external drives, hubs or docking stations
• Temporary or permanent cable replacement for devices with USB-A ports

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A
• Connector 2: USB A
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data rate: 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1 m
• Product colour: Black
• Weight: 0.05 kg

How to use

Insert one male USB-A connector into the host or upstream device and the other male USB-A connector into the downstream device or peripheral. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish proper contact. The cable will operate at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds when both connected devices and their ports support that standard; otherwise it will fall back to the highest mutually supported USB version.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-power AC lines or tightly coiling it for long periods. Clean connectors gently if contact issues arise and replace the cable if physical damage is visible. Use within the 1 m length to maintain maximum signal integrity.
