Cavo InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Type-A maschio a Type-B maschio, 5 Gbit/s, 1,5 m, nero

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 cable Type A male to Type B male is a 1.5 m black data cable designed for reliable wired connections between hosts with USB-A ports and USB-B devices. It supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to improve signal reliability and reduce corrosion. The cable is intended for established USB-B peripherals such as printers, scanners and external drives that require a stable, high-speed USB connection for data transfer and device communication.

Advantages

This USB 3.2 Gen.1 cable provides a standardized connection with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 devices while offering higher transfer speeds where supported. Gold-plated contacts help maintain consistent signal quality and reduce contact resistance over time. The 1.5 m length balances convenience and reach for typical desktop and office setups, and the black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most environments.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for devices that require USB-C or other connector types; adapters may be needed for incompatible ports. It also does not provide power delivery beyond standard USB port capabilities nor support USB 3.2 Gen.2 or higher transfer rates above 5 Gbit/s.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the Type B male end to the USB-B port on the peripheral device and plug the Type A male end into an available USB-A port on the host computer. After connection, the host operating system should detect the device and automatically load drivers where applicable. For optimal transfer speeds, ensure both host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen.1 or the same high-speed USB standard.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For consistent high-speed transfers, avoid sharp bends and prolonged mechanical stress on the cable. Use direct connections without multiple adapters, and plug into USB-A ports on the host that provide full USB 3.x bandwidth (typically rear-panel ports on desktops or clearly labelled ports on laptops).
