Techly Extension USB 3.0 Cable A Male / A Female 1m Blue ICOC U3-AA-10-EX

The Techly ICOC-U3-AA-10-EX 1 m USB 3.2 Gen 1 Blue cable is a 1-metre USB A to USB A data cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s. Designed for general-purpose data connections between compatible devices, this cable features a blue outer jacket and standard USB A connectors on both ends for straightforward plug-and-play use with hubs, docking stations, external drives and other USB-A ports.

Advantages

This USB cable provides data transfer performance up to 5 Gbit/s for faster file copies compared with USB 2.0 connections while remaining backward compatible with older USB A ports. The uniform USB A to USB A configuration simplifies connections between devices that accept host-to-host or accessory A-type interfaces. The 1 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management, and the coloured jacket makes it easier to identify among other cables. The cable is manufactured for durability and repeated insertion cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting external storage devices with USB A ports to compatible hosts or hubs
• Linking docking stations, hubs or peripherals that require USB A to USB A connections
• Temporary direct data transfers between two compatible USB A devices (where supported)
• Replacing or adding a short, visible cable in desktop or home office setups

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1 m
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to a device with a USB A port and the other end to the corresponding USB A port on the host device, hub or docking station. Ensure both devices support the intended data transfer direction and USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds where applicable. No driver installation is typically required for standard mass-storage or hub connections; the operating system will detect the connected device and configure the interface automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends or kinks near the connectors and use a cable length appropriate for the setup to minimise signal degradation. When connecting two host systems, verify device compatibility and power requirements, since not all USB A to A links are intended for direct host-to-host connections; using a hub or proper transfer cable is recommended if needed.
