Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered with USB 3.0 technology, this cable delivers data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, significantly faster than USB 2.0, reducing wait times for large file transfers and improving peripheral responsiveness. The male USB Type-A connector plugs directly into standard computer ports, while the male USB Type-B end connects to compatible peripherals, maintaining a secure physical connection to prevent accidental disconnections.
The 6-foot length provides ample flexibility for positioning devices, accommodating typical desk or rack setups without strain. Built to USB 3.0 specifications, it ensures backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though at the lower speeds of those standards, making it a future-ready choice for mixed-environment deployments.

FAQ
What is the data transfer speed of this Axiom USB cable?
This cable supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 gigabits per second (Gbps). This high speed enables fast file transfers and efficient communication with peripherals, significantly reducing wait times compared to older USB 2.0 standards, making it suitable for data-intensive applications like large document printing or media file transfers.
What devices can I connect with this USB Type-A to Type-B cable?
You can connect computers with standard USB Type-A ports to peripherals that use USB Type-B connectors. Common devices include printers, scanners, external hard drives, docking stations, audio interfaces, and some older hubs or monitors. It is widely used in office, studio, and home environments for reliable data transfer and peripheral connectivity.
Is this cable backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices?
Yes, this USB 3.0 cable is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. When connected to a USB 2.0 port or peripheral, it will operate at the lower USB 2.0 speed (up to 480 Mbps), ensuring broad compatibility across different generations of hardware without requiring adapters or special configurations.
What is the length of the cable, and is it sufficient for my setup?
The cable is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long, providing ample reach for typical desk, rack, or workspace setups. This length allows flexible placement of peripherals like printers or scanners at a distance from the computer, reducing clutter and accommodating common office or home layouts without the need for extensions in most scenarios.
Are the connectors on both ends male, and what types are they?
Yes, both ends feature male connectors. One end has a standard USB 3.0 Type-A male connector that plugs into computer ports, and the other end has a USB 3.0 Type-B male connector for connecting to peripherals. This male-to-male design ensures a direct, secure connection without requiring gender changers or adapters for typical use cases.
Can I use this cable for charging devices or only data transfer?
This cable is primarily designed for data transfer between computers and USB-B peripherals, not for charging. While it may carry some power for device operation (e.g., powering a scanner or external drive), it does not support high-power charging like USB-C cables. For optimal performance, use it as intended for data connectivity with compatible USB-B equipment.
