UGREEN USB 3.0 A‑to‑A 1m data cable

This braided USB 3.0 A-to-A cable delivers high-speed data transfers between USB-A devices such as external hard drives, docking stations, printers and media players, making file moves and device connections quicker and more reliable for everyday computing tasks. It suits users who need a compact 1 metre lead that resists tangling while handling up to 5 Gbps transfer rates, according to the manufacturer.

Key Points

The cable offers USB 3.0 performance with transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, which can significantly reduce time when moving large files compared with USB 2.0. Its braided nylon exterior improves abrasion resistance and helps prevent knots in daily use. The connectors are reinforced and housed in aluminium shells to protect against wear and support a stable physical connection when plugged into drives, hubs and peripherals. Note that this cable does not support direct PC-to-PC data transfer. ⚠️

Technical Specifications

• Name: UGREEN USB Cable, USB 3.0 A to A (1M)
• Length: 1 m
• Transfer speed: 5 Gbps (USB 3.0), backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
• Connector type: USB-A male to USB-A male
• Outer material: Braided nylon

Usage Recommendations

Use this cable to connect USB-A peripherals such as external HDD enclosures, docking stations, printers, TV media players and cooling bases to a host device that accepts USB-A input. For file transfers larger than a few gigabytes the higher throughput will make a noticeable difference, for example when moving media or backups. Avoid trying to link two computers directly with this cable, as it is not designed for PC-to-PC network transfer or linking two host ports.

Advantages

The braided construction helps maintain a neat workspace and reduces wear from repeated handling. According to the manufacturer, the multi-layer shielding with tinned copper and foil improves signal stability and reduces interference, which is useful in environments with several connected devices. The plug-and-play design means no drivers are required for compatible operating systems, so setup is straightforward. Some users may prefer a cable with different connector types if they need to connect to USB-C devices or transfer between two computers.
