USB 3.2 Gen1 A-naar-A kabel ProXtend USB3AA-0005 — 5 m, Type-A stekker naar Type-A stekker

ProXtend USB3AA-0005 is a 5‑metre USB 3.2 Gen1 A-to-A cable with USB Type‑A male connectors on both ends. It provides a reliable wired connection between devices that use standard USB‑A ports and supports high‑speed data transfer at USB 3.2 Gen1 rates over an extended distance. The cable is intended for applications where a longer USB‑A link is required without signal conversion or adapter use.

Advantages

The cable delivers USB 3.2 Gen1 performance for compatible hosts and devices, enabling sustained transfer speeds for large files and backups. With a 5 m length it reduces the need for short extenders or multiple adapters while keeping a single continuous connection. The Type‑A male connectors are compatible with a wide range of external drives, hubs, printers and other peripherals that retain standard USB‑A ports. Its straightforward design minimizes additional latency or complexity in typical wired USB setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to desktop or laptop computers with USB‑A ports
• Extending the reach between USB hubs and host systems in office or home environments
• Linking printers, scanners and other peripherals that use USB‑A connections
• Temporary or permanent workstation layouts where a longer USB‑A cable is needed

Key specifications

• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen1 (SuperSpeed)
• Connector type: USB Type‑A male to USB Type‑A male
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Data transfer: supports SuperSpeed data rates up to USB 3.2 Gen1
• Compatibility: backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 hosts and devices (at lower speeds)

How to use

Connect one USB Type‑A male end of the cable to the host device (computer, hub or controller) and the other Type‑A male end to the peripheral (external drive, printer, or other USB‑A device). Ensure both connected devices support the required USB modes; the actual transfer speed will be determined by the lowest USB generation supported by either endpoint. Avoid forcing connectors and insert them straight into the ports to ensure secure contact. If using with external storage, safely unmount or eject the drive from the operating system before disconnecting the cable to prevent data loss.

Recommendations

The cable is designed for data connectivity rather than for powering high‑current devices. For reliable performance, use with equipment that supports USB‑A host/device roles and avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources. If sustained high throughput is required, verify both host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen1 speeds and use native USB‑A ports rather than passive adapters to preserve signal integrity.
