It is commonly used for direct connections between two host computers (e.g., for file transfer), or for connecting USB 3.0 devices like external storage, docking stations, or specific models of network video recorders (NVRs) and IP cameras that offer a USB-A port for configuration or data access. It supports USB 3.0, 3.1 Gen 1, and 3.2 Gen 1 specifications, ensuring backward compatibility with USB 2.0 devices at their native speeds.
