Description

StarTech USB3SAB1 USB 3.2 Type-A to Type-B Cable

Overview

The StarTech USB3SAB1 is a 1-foot USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable designed to bridge USB Type-A devices to USB Type-B 3.2 ports. This cable is essential for connecting peripherals like external hard drives, docking stations, or specialized data acquisition equipment that utilize the USB Type-B connector to a host system with a standard USB Type-A port. Its 1-foot length minimizes cable clutter in dense server racks or workstation setups, ensuring a clean and organized deployment for the USB3SAB1.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-B 3.2 connector and any host system with a USB Type-A port. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 specifications, delivering data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, making it suitable for high-speed data transfer applications. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices and hosts, though performance will be limited to the older standard's speeds.

Installation Notes

The cable features a durable PVC jacket and is shielded with an aluminum-mylar foil and braid construction to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal loss, ensuring reliable data transmission. The wire gauge is 28 AWG, suitable for maintaining signal integrity over the 1-foot length at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds.
