USB 3.0 A‑female to A‑female cable VivoLink PROKEYUSB3AFBM3B, Black

The VivoLink PROKEYUSB3AFBM3B is a black USB 3.0 A‑female to A‑female cable engineered to connect or extend USB A ports where a direct A‑to‑A link is required. It supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, enabling straightforward wired connections between devices that feature A‑female sockets. The cable is intended for use with peripherals, hubs and extension setups that need an A‑to‑A interface, offering a compact and simple solution for linking compatible devices.

Advantages

The cable offers SuperSpeed USB 3.0 performance for high‑bandwidth transfers and remains compatible with older USB standards for broad device support. Its A‑female to A‑female configuration simplifies direct connections or extensions without adapters when both endpoints accept A‑female ports. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and home environments, and the fixed wired form factor avoids the latency and power considerations associated with wireless alternatives.

Suitable for

• Connecting external peripherals with A‑female sockets to compatible devices
• Extending an existing USB A port to reach a device or hub
• Linking USB hubs or docking stations that use A‑female connectors

Key specifications

• USB standard: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1)
• Connector type: A‑female to A‑female
• Color: Black
• Function: Data transfer and port extension between A‑female sockets

How to use

Insert each A‑female connector into the corresponding A‑female ports on the devices you wish to link or extend. Ensure both devices are powered if required by the connected peripherals. The cable establishes a direct wired connection; the operating system will manage device recognition and driver loading where necessary. Avoid forcing connectors into incompatible ports and inspect ports for debris before connection.

Recommendations

Use this cable only between devices that explicitly accept A‑female connections; do not attempt to connect directly between two host ports (PC-to-PC) without appropriate bridging hardware. For reliable performance, keep cable lengths appropriate to USB 3.0 specifications and avoid heavy bending or tight loops near the connector ends.
