Delock USB 5 Gbps Cable Type-A Male to Type-A Male 3 m with Metal Connectors
High-speed Delock USB 5 Gbps cable with metal connectors, double shielding, and gold-plated contacts, ideal for reliable device connections over distances of up to 3 meters.
Description
The Delock USB 5 Gbps Type-A Male to Type-A Male 3 m cable is a high-quality cable designed for reliable connection of devices with a USB Type-A port to computers, laptops, or hubs over distances of up to three meters. It supports the USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) standard with a maximum transfer speed of up to 5 Gbit/s, making it suitable for use with external drives, docking stations, hubs, and other peripheral devices that require a fast and stable connection.
The connector housings are made of metal and, combined with gold-plated contacts, provide improved mechanical durability, stable contact, and enhanced protection against corrosion. The double shielding and copper conductors with appropriate cross-section reduce electromagnetic interference and ensure secure data transfer even over longer distances.
Advantages
-
High speed up to 5 Gbit/s via USB 3.2 Gen 1, suitable for transferring large files and working with fast external devices.
-
Metal connectors with gold-plated contacts for a more robust construction, reliable connection, and long service life.
-
Double-shielded cable with copper conductors for minimal signal loss and stable operation in environments with electromagnetic interference.
-
Length of 3 m (including connectors), providing flexibility when arranging equipment on desks, in offices, or in racks and cabinets.
-
Backward compatibility with older USB standards, allowing use with USB 2.0 devices at lower speeds.
Application
The cable is ideal for connecting desktop computers and laptops with a USB Type-A port to external devices and accessories that also feature a USB Type-A connector, provided that the device explicitly supports this type of connection. It is suitable for professional and home setups where high transfer speed and stable connectivity over longer distances are required, such as computers placed under desks with peripherals located on the desktop.
Thanks to the metal housings and solid construction, the cable is a good solution for environments with more intensive daily use—offices, service centers, and studios—where devices are frequently connected and disconnected.
Innovations and Distinctive Features
Delock combines the USB 5 Gbps standard with metal connector housings and gold-plated contacts, distinguishing this model from typical entry-level USB cables with plastic connectors. The double shielding, combined with copper conductors and carefully selected wire gauges (28 AWG for data and 24 AWG for power), provides an optimal balance between flexibility, reliability, and signal stability.
The distinctive black-and-red coloring of the cable and connectors allows easy visual identification in environments with many cables and gives the installation a finished, professional appearance.
