VivoLink USB 3.0 Type A to Type A Cable 0.2 m — Black

VivoLink USB 3.0 Type A to Type A Cable 0.2 m — Black is a short, high-speed data cable with USB 3.0 Type A connectors on both ends. It is designed for direct connections between compatible USB 3.0 ports on PCs, hubs, external drives and peripherals where a compact cable is preferred. The 0.2 m length reduces clutter and is convenient for tight spaces, portable setups and temporary connections where full USB 3.0 throughput is required.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates and maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices when used with compatible hosts. Its short length minimises signal loss and cable management issues while providing a stable connection for close-proximity devices. The molded connectors and insulated jacket offer basic protection against wear from repeated insertions and handling, and the compact design is easy to store and carry.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC to a USB 3.0 hub or docking station over a short distance
• Temporary or portable direct links between computers and external drives
• Use in cramped workspaces where long cables create clutter
• Short connections between peripherals that use Type A to Type A interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB 3.0 Type A to USB 3.0 Type A
• Length: 0.2 m
• Color: Black
• Data transfer: USB 3.0 SuperSpeed compatibility (up to theoretical USB 3.0 rates when used with compatible devices)
• Compatibility: Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
• Cable jacket: Insulated PVC (standard protective jacket)

How to use

Insert each USB Type A connector into the corresponding USB port on the devices you wish to connect, ensuring both ports support Type A connections. For USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer, confirm that both host and peripheral ports are USB 3.0 capable. Avoid forcing connectors; align them correctly and push gently until fully seated. When disconnecting, pull the connector by its body rather than tugging the cable to reduce strain on the terminations.

Recommendations

Use this 0.2 m VivoLink cable for short, direct connections only. Avoid routing the cable in ways that bend the connectors sharply or pinch the cable. For longer distances or specialized applications (power delivery, active signal boosting), choose an appropriate cable or adapter designed for that purpose.
