USB 3.0 A Male to B Male Cable, 6 ft SuperSpeed

The 6 ft AM-to-BM is the standard tether between a computer and the square-socket devices that live beside it — printers, scanners, modems, digital cameras and audio gear — in the SuperSpeed generation. USB 3.0 moves data at up to 5 Gbps, ten times existing USB 2.0 technology, so a big scan, a multi-page print job or a camera card ingest finishes while the coffee is still warm; backward compatibility keeps USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices working on the same lead. Sync duty rides the same wire: connect your phone or device to the PC or laptop and synchronize contacts, emails and appointments, change ring tones and background pictures, and take advantage of the other applications a B-socket dock or cradle exposes.

SuperSpeed USB brings Sync-N-Go technology that minimizes user wait-time, and optimized power efficiency — no device polling, with lower active and idle power requirements on both ends. Hosts and devices interoperate across generations: 3.0 hosts support 2.0 legacy devices, and this cable carries whatever both ends agree on. At 6 ft (1.8 m) it routes from tower under the desk to the multifunction machine on top of it.

Specifications

An honest note on rates: the device sets the pace — a 2.0-rate printer through this cable transfers at 2.0 speed; the cable’s promise is that nothing faster than the device is lost on the wire.
