How to use

Plug one end of the cable into the USB A port of the source device and the other end into the USB A port of the target device. Ensure both devices support host or accessory functions as required for direct A-to-A connections. For optimal performance, use with devices and ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and ensure connectors are fully seated for reliable connections.

Recommendations

Use this short USB A to A cable for close-proximity connections where cable length should be minimal. For sustained high-speed transfers, connect through USB 3.2 Gen 1–capable ports on both ends. Store the cable coiled without tight bends and disconnect by gripping the connector rather than pulling the cable.
