USB Cable ShiverPeaks 1.8m USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB A Blue

The ShiverPeaks USB Cable 1.8m USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB A Blue is a reinforced data and extension cable designed for connections between devices that use USB A ports. With a length of 1.8 m and support for USB 3.2 Gen 1, the cable allows data transfer at speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and features USB A male to USB A female connectors with nickel-plated contacts for improved conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The bright blue jacket provides easy visual identification among other cables.

Advantages

This USB cable supports high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0/1.1 devices. The 1.8 m length offers extended reach for desktop and AV setups without excessive slack. Nickel-plated contacts reduce wear and oxidation to preserve signal quality over time. The USB A male to USB A female configuration enables direct extension or convenient device placement where a built-in cable or port is hard to reach.

Suitable for

• Extending an existing USB A cable to increase reach between devices
• Connecting peripheral devices with USB A ports where a longer cable is required
• Temporary or permanent cable routing in desktop, AV, or office environments
• Situations requiring clear cable identification by color

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (supports up to 5 Gbit/s)
• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: USB A (female)
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts
• Colour: blue

How to use

Plug the USB A male end into the host device or existing USB A cable, and connect the USB A female end to the peripheral device or cable you want to extend. Ensure both devices are powered if required by the peripheral. For optimal performance, use the cable for data connections that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds; when connected to older USB ports, the transfer rate will default to the highest mutually supported standard.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to prolong its service life. For sustained high-speed transfers, connect to USB 3.2 Gen 1 compliant ports and avoid long chains of extension cables that can degrade signal integrity. Clean contacts gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if needed.
