Microconnect USB3.0AAF5A USB cable USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 5 m USB A Black

This MicroConnect USB Cable (model USB3.0AAF5A) is a 5 m active USB 3.2 Gen 1 extension cable with male USB-A connectors on both ends. It supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and includes an integrated signal booster to prevent transmission loss over the extended length. The cable features nickel-plated contacts and a black finish for durability and reliable connections with printers, peripherals and other USB-A devices.

Advantages

The active design with an integrated booster maintains signal integrity over 5 m, allowing stable high-speed transfers up to 5 Gbit/s. Nickel-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Standard USB-A connectors ensure broad compatibility with computers, printers, external drives and other USB devices.

Suitable for

• Extending the USB connection to printers and multifunction devices
• Connecting external hard drives or SSDs when a longer cable is needed
• Linking USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse, hub) at a greater distance
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups requiring a 5 m USB-A extension

How to use

Plug one male USB-A connector into the host device (PC, laptop or hub) and the other male USB-A connector into the peripheral (printer, drive or other USB-A device). Ensure both connectors are fully inserted to achieve proper contact. No additional software is required; the cable functions as a passive USB extension with an integrated active booster for maintained signal quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. If connecting high-power devices, verify the peripheral device’s power requirements — this cable extends data and standard USB power but does not replace a dedicated powered USB hub when higher current is needed.
