USB 3.0 A Male to A Male Data Cable, 0.6 m

The 0.6 m A-to-A is the short reach: hub to PC behind a monitor, extension stub to host, device A-female to bench host — jobs where a 2 m cable is pure clutter. At SuperSpeed it delivers up to 5 Gbps, roughly ten times USB 2.0’s transmission rate, while remaining backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 and the billions of USB devices already deployed in the market.

The power spec is worth reading on a 3.0 lead: optimized power efficiency with the 900 mA-class delivery that USB 3.0 brings — against USB 2.0’s 500 mA ceiling — which is what lets a USB hub connect more equipment at the same time without a wall wart. System support is wide: 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Key features

• USB 3.0 A male to A male, 0.6 m
• SuperSpeed 5 Gbps — 10x USB 2.0 rate
• 900 mA-class power delivery for hub duty
• Backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0
• Wide Windows 32/64-bit support

Specifications

The standing A-to-A honesty: it feeds female-ended devices and extensions from a host — it is not a PC-to-PC link, which requires an active bridge cable. Within its shape, the short length is the feature: less coiled slack behind the monitor, less voltage drop at the far end, and one fewer loop for cable ties to fight. SuperSpeed USB brings significant performance enhancements to the ubiquitous USB standard while remaining compatible with everything already deployed — this lead is the short version of exactly that promise.

Typical applications

• Short hub and extension runs behind monitors
• Bench power-and-data feeds to A-female devices
• Tidy desktop installs where long leads collect dust
