Connektgear 3m USB 2 Connector Cable A Male to A Male – High Speed

Connektgear 3m USB 2 Connector Cable A Male to A Male – High Speed Specification Overview

Reliable 3-Metre Reach for Flexible Setup

This cable provides a 3-metre length, offering flexibility for positioning devices away from your computer. So, it is useful for connecting a printer in a corner or an external drive on a separate desk. The black PVC jacket is durable for everyday use in a home or office. Because the connectors are straight, ensure your devices have the correct USB A ports before purchase.

USB 2.0 High-Speed Data Transfer

The cable supports USB 2.0 with a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s. In practice, this is suitable for standard peripherals like keyboards, mice, and printers. However, it is not designed for high-bandwidth tasks such as video streaming from an external SSD. For example, use it for file transfers to a USB 2.0 external hard drive where speed is not critical.

Durable Nickel-Plated Connectors

The connector contacts are nickel-plated for improved corrosion resistance and consistent connectivity. This technical detail helps maintain a stable connection over time. Also, the straight A Male connectors are a common standard for many UK computer peripherals. The cable jacket is made from Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a common material for USB cables.

Plug-and-Play Convenience

This cable is plug-and-play, meaning no additional software or drivers are required for most operating systems. So, you can connect it directly between compatible devices and start working immediately. However, it is not reversible; the USB A connector has a specific orientation. Always check that your device ports match the USB A Male configuration.

Compliance and Origin

The product’s country of origin is China. It holds REACH certification and complies with RoHS standards. Note that UKCA marking is not specified; if you require UKCA compliance for a specific application, please confirm this with the manufacturer or distributor. The cable weight is 120 g, making it lightweight for easy handling.
