USB Cable S/CONN USB 2.0 3m

The ShiverPeaks USB Cable S/CONN USB 2.0 3m is a grey USB 2.0 data cable with USB A connectors on both ends and a 3-metre length, designed to connect devices across a room or workspace. The cable uses a male-to-female connector arrangement to support direct connections between host devices and peripherals that accept standard USB A plugs. Contacts are nickel plated to improve contact durability and maintain reliable data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds.

Advantages

This 3 m USB 2.0 cable provides extended reach while preserving signal integrity for data transfer and device connectivity. The use of USB A connectors on both ends ensures broad compatibility with many computers, hubs, chargers and peripherals. Nickel-plated contacts resist oxidation and reduce contact wear, contributing to longer service life. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into office or home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers or laptops to external hard drives and optical drives that accept a USB A plug
• Extending the reach of a USB peripheral when direct placement is not possible
• Linking USB hubs, docking stations or chargers in a desktop environment
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable routing in office, workshop or home setups

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: USB A (female)
• USB version: USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mbps theoretical transfer rate)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Product colour: Grey
• Contact plating: Nickel-plated contacts

How to use

Plug the male USB A connector into the host device or USB port that provides data or power. Insert the female USB A connector to accept the peripheral’s USB A plug. Ensure connectors are aligned and fully inserted to establish a secure connection. For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; route the cable to prevent kinks and reduce strain on connector joints. When disconnecting, grasp the connector housing rather than pulling the cable to protect internal wiring.

Recommendations

Use this cable for devices and peripherals that operate at USB 2.0 speeds. For higher-speed USB 3.x devices or where full SuperSpeed performance is required, use a cable specified for USB 3.0/3.1. Keep the cable away from high-interference power cables and strong electromagnetic sources to maintain stable data transfer.
