StarTech USB3 Series IC Socket USB Cable, 2m Cable Length, Black Jacket - USB3CAB2M

This IC socket USB cable provides a male-to-male connection for data and power between compatible devices in USB 3.0 environments. It links a standard USB Type A plug to a USB 3.2 Type B (9‑pin) male connector, offering backward‑compatible operation where higher throughput is required. The cable is finished in a black polyvinyl chloride jacket and is intended for use in typical commercial and laboratory settings where robust, CE‑approved interconnects are needed.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports up to 5 Gbps transfer rates for high‑speed data
  USB Type A to 9‑pin Type B interface for peripheral compatibility
  Male‑to‑male configuration for direct device‑to‑device linking
  PVC outer sheath provides abrasion resistance and flexibility
  CE certification indicating conformity with applicable standards
  2m length for extended reach without signal repeaters

Applications

• Used with printers and peripherals requiring Type B ports
  Suitable for connecting data acquisition modules to hosts
  Ideal for test benches needing direct male‑to‑male cabling
  Can be used for high‑speed file transfers between devices
  Used for temporary setups in workshops and service centres

What conductor shielding or insulation is present inside the cable?

The cable utilises a PVC jacket for external insulation
internal conductor arrangement supports USB 3.0 signalling with dedicated pins for SuperSpeed lanes and ground returns.

Can this cable handle legacy USB devices at lower speeds?

Yes, the connection is backward compatible so it will negotiate lower USB versions automatically when paired with older equipment.

Is the cable suited for hazardous‑area certification requirements?

No, it does not carry hazardous‑area certification and should not be used where such approvals are mandatory.

How is connector orientation handled for insertion?

The USB Type A and the 9‑pin Type B male connectors follow standard USB mating geometry, ensuring correct physical alignment and secure mechanical engagement.
