Shop USB 3.x cable assemblies for computers, peripherals, storage devices, instruments and other compatible electronic equipment. Wallco offers USB Type-A, Type-B and Micro-B cable configurations in multiple lengths for high-speed USB connections.
Compare cables by connector type, USB generation, cable length, equipment interface and required data-transfer capability.
USB 3.x cable assemblies connect compatible computers, storage devices, peripherals and electronic equipment using higher-speed USB interfaces. Connector format and supported USB generation should both be verified before replacing or adding a cable.
USB Type-A to Type-B connections are commonly used with printers, instruments, external equipment and other peripherals. USB 3.x Type-B connectors differ mechanically from older USB Type-B designs, so equipment compatibility should be checked carefully.
USB 3.x Micro-B connections have been widely used with external hard drives and compact storage equipment. These connectors are physically different from standard USB 2.0 Micro-B plugs and require a compatible device interface.
Compatible USB extension and active-extension products can increase distance between a host and peripheral. Longer high-speed USB runs should be selected according to the cable design and equipment requirements rather than length alone.
Actual transfer performance depends on the host, peripheral and cable. A USB 3.x cable connected to older equipment may operate at the lower capability supported by the complete connection.
Identify the connector at both devices, then verify the USB generation and required cable length. Pay particular attention to Type-B and Micro-B connector formats because USB 3.x versions can differ physically from earlier USB designs.
