Cable Microconnect Active USB3.0 A-B 7m M-M negro 5 Gbit/s

The Microconnect Active USB3.0 A-B cable is a 7 m black USB data cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s. The cable includes an integrated signal booster to prevent transmission loss over the extended length and features nickel-plated connector contacts for improved durability and reliable connections.

Advantages

The integrated active booster maintains signal integrity across the 7 m length, reducing the risk of data errors and dropouts. Nickel-plated contacts increase resistance to corrosion and ensure stable connectivity. Support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 provides backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices while delivering high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB A host devices (PCs, laptops) to USB B peripherals (printers, scanners) over longer distances
• Data transfer between computers and external devices located far from the host
• Office or workshop setups where cable runs exceed typical passive cable lengths

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: USB B (male)
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 7 m
• Product colour: Black
• Contacts: Nickel-plated

How to use

Connect the USB A end to the host device (for example a computer or laptop) and the USB B end to the peripheral device (for example a printer or scanner). Ensure both devices are powered on and recognised by the host operating system; no additional drivers are typically required for standard USB mass storage or printer devices. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy mechanical stress to preserve signal quality and prolong cable life.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed transfers, avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines and keep connectors free of dust. If communication issues occur, check both device ports and try reseating the connectors; the integrated booster is designed to maintain signal over 7 m but requires good physical contact at both ends.
