Cable USB S/CONN 3m USB3.0 A USB 3.2 Gen 1

The ShiverPeaks USB Cable S/CONN 3m USB3.0 A USB 3.2 Gen 1 is a 3‑meter male‑to‑male cable designed for data transfer and device connectivity. It uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 technology (commonly referred to as USB 3.0) to support higher throughput than USB 2.0 and features nickel‑plated A‑type connectors for improved contact durability. The cable’s blue jacket identifies it visually as a USB 3.x cable and provides extended reach where device placement requires additional length.

Advantages

The cable delivers faster data transfer compared with older USB 2.0 cables thanks to USB 3.2 Gen 1 signaling, enabling quicker file transfers and reduced waiting times. Nickel‑plated connectors resist corrosion and maintain reliable electrical contact over repeated insertions. A 3 meter length gives flexibility for connecting peripherals at a distance without using extensions or adapters. The standardized A‑to‑A configuration ensures compatibility with devices and hosts that provide USB A ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to a computer with USB A ports
• Linking printers, scanners and other USB peripherals located away from the host device
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable runs in offices, studios, or home workspaces where longer reach is needed
• Transferring large files, multimedia content, and backups where higher throughput is beneficial

Key specifications

• Interface: USB A male to USB A male
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Length: 3.0 meters
• Connector plating: nickel
• Cable color: blue
• Typical use: data transfer and peripheral connection

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to the USB A port on the host device (computer, hub or compatible host) and the other end to the USB A port on the peripheral device. Ensure both devices are powered on if required by the peripheral. The connection is plug‑and‑play with modern operating systems; drivers may be required only for specific devices. Avoid forcing the connector into the port and align the A‑type plug correctly before insertion.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable with devices and host ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid tight bends or sharp kinks to maintain signal integrity. If longer runs or different connector types are needed, use an appropriate active extension or adapter designed for high‑speed USB links.
