USB 3.0 A Cable S/CONN 1.8m

The ShiverPeaks USB 3.0 A Cable S/CONN 1.8m is a blue A-to-A data cable designed for high-speed connections between devices with USB A ports. Compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 1) specifications, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and measures 1.8 metres in length. With male USB A connectors on both ends and a durable construction, it provides a straightforward solution for linking compatible peripherals, external drives, docking stations or other USB A interfaces.

Advantages

The cable offers a stable 5 Gbit/s throughput for fast file transfers and responsive device communication. Its 1.8 m length gives flexibility for desktop, home office and entertainment setups without excessive slack. The blue jacket and robust connectors contribute to easy identification and reliable physical connection. Designed to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 electrical and signaling standard, it maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ports at lower speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures with USB A ports
• Linking PCs or laptops to docking stations and USB hubs
• Data transfer between compatible devices that use USB A connectors
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable runs in home offices and multimedia setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (male) to USB A (male)
• USB specification: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Colour: Blue
• Backward compatibility: USB 2.0/1.1 (reduced speed)

How to use

Insert one USB A male connector into the host device's USB A port and the other connector into the peripheral's USB A port. Ensure both devices are powered according to their own requirements; the cable transmits data and can carry USB power subject to the host and device specifications. For optimal data transfer rates, connect to USB 3.x capable ports on both ends. If a device negotiates a lower USB version, the connection will operate at the mutually supported speed.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and do not place heavy objects on the cable to preserve performance and connector integrity. For highest throughput, use with devices and ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1. When using older USB ports or adapters, expect reduced transfer speeds. Store the cable coiled loosely to extend lifespan.
