USB cable Microconnect USB3.0AA10BOP 10 m USB 3.2 Gen 1 Black

The Microconnect USB3.0AA10BOP is an active optical USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable with USB A connectors on both ends and a length of 10 m. It supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for improved durability. The cable's thin, highly flexible construction allows it to be bent, squeezed and tangled without damage, making it suitable for extending USB connections over longer distances.

Advantages

This active optical USB cable provides stable high-speed data transfer over 10 m while remaining lightweight and flexible. Gold-plated connector contacts increase contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The thin design reduces bulk and facilitates routing in confined spaces without compromising signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Extending connections between computers and peripherals (e.g., external drives, printers)
• Long-distance USB links in offices and home setups
• Applications where a flexible, low-profile cable is needed

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A
• Connector 2: USB A
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 10 m
• Product colour: Black
• Weight: 0.7 kg

How to use

Connect one USB A plug to the host device and the other USB A plug to the peripheral. Ensure connectors are fully inserted. The active optical design handles signal conversion internally; no external power supply or drivers are normally required. Test the connection after plugging in to confirm the device is recognised and operating at the expected transfer rate.

Recommendations

To preserve performance, avoid sharp kinks and prolonged compression at the same point. Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid tight coils. Keep connectors free of debris and attach directly to device USB A ports or use dedicated port extenders if frequent reconnects are needed.
