Description

StarTech USB3SAB6 USB 3.0 A to B Cable

Overview

The StarTech USB3SAB6 is a 6-foot (1.8m) SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable designed for reliable data transfer between a host device and a USB peripheral. This cable is essential for connecting devices like printers, scanners, external hard drives, or docking stations that utilize a USB-B port to a computer or hub with a standard USB-A port. It ensures you can achieve the full 5 Gbps data transfer rate supported by USB 3.0, significantly reducing transfer times for large files compared to older USB 2.0 standards. The blue PVC jacket provides flexibility and durability for everyday use in office or home environments.

Compatibility

This USB 3.0 A-to-B cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-B port and any host device with a USB Type-A port. It supports all USB 3.0 specifications, including backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, though data transfer speeds will be limited to the capabilities of the slower standard. It is suitable for connecting a wide range of peripherals, including but not limited to: multifunction printers, external SSD enclosures, high-resolution webcams, and specialized data acquisition equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features a foil-shielded twisted-pair construction to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal loss, ensuring data integrity. The operating temperature range is -10°C to 55°C (14°F to 131°F), and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable is designed for typical office or indoor environments and is not rated for outdoor or extreme temperature use.
