The ACT USB 3.0 A male to USB A male 5.00 m cable is a high-speed data cable designed for direct connections between USB-A devices. With a length of 5.00 m and support for USB 3.0 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s, the cable enables extended reach while maintaining fast transfer performance. The cable comes in black and has standard USB A male connectors on both ends for compatibility with a wide range of peripherals and host devices.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 A male to USB A male cable offers high transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, allowing efficient movement of large files between compatible devices. The 5.00 m length provides flexibility in device placement without the need for close proximity, and the black finish provides a neutral appearance that fits home or office environments. Standard USB A male connectors at both ends ensure straightforward plug-and-play use with many existing devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to a computer or USB hub
• Linking printers, scanners, or other peripherals with USB A ports
• Temporary data transfers or device-to-device file copying where a longer cable is required
• Workspace setups where device distance exceeds standard short cables

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A male
• Connector 2: USB A male
• Cable length: 5.00 m
• Data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s (USB 3.0)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one USB A male connector into the host device or computer and the other USB A male connector into the peripheral device. Ensure both devices support USB A connections; if the peripheral or host requires a different USB standard or a powered connection, use appropriate adapters or powered hubs. After connecting, the devices should be recognised by the operating system and be ready for data transfer or peripheral use. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension along the 5.00 m length to preserve performance and cable longevity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect devices that support USB 3.0 data rates to take advantage of the up to 5 Gbit/s transfer speed. If longer reach or signal integrity is required beyond 5.00 m, consider using an active cable, powered USB hub, or network-based transfer methods. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid kinks to maintain reliable operation.
