GOOBAY USB 3.0 crossover cable, USB-A to USB-A, 3 m, 5 Gbps, black

GOOBAY USB 3.0 crossover cable, USB-A to USB-A, 3 m, 5 Gbps, black provides a direct device-to-device connection with USB-A plugs on both ends and support for SuperSpeed USB transfer rates. The cable is 3 metres long and designed with crossover wiring where a standard A-to-A direct link is required for compatible host devices. The black PVC jacket offers basic mechanical protection and ease of routing in office or home environments.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 crossover cable supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps in accordance with the USB 3.0 specification, enabling fast file transfer and synchronization between compatible devices. The 3 m length adds reach for flexible placement of connected equipment, and the standardized USB-A connectors ensure compatibility with devices that accept host-side A-type plugs. The cable’s construction reduces signal loss for short- and medium-distance connections and the black outer sheath provides a neutral appearance that fits typical installations.

Suitable for

• Direct file transfer between two compatible host devices that require crossover wiring
• Data synchronization between PCs or between a PC and compatible peripheral with USB-A host interface
• Temporary connections for data migration, backup, or transferring large files
• Situations where a longer USB-A to USB-A connection (3 m) is needed without using hubs or adapters

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-A to USB-A (both ends)
• Interface standard: USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed)
• Maximum data rate: up to 5 Gbps
• Cable length: 3 metres
• Colour: black outer jacket
• Jacket material: PVC (standard mechanical protection)

How to use

Connect each USB-A plug to the corresponding USB-A host ports of the two devices you intend to link. Ensure both devices support USB 3.0 or are compatible with USB 3.0 host-side A-to-A connections and that any necessary software or driver requirements for direct transfers are met. After connecting, verify that the devices recognise the link and initiate file transfer or synchronization using the operating system’s file manager or a dedicated transfer application. For maximum transfer speeds, use USB 3.0 compliant ports on both devices.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable only for compatible device pairs that support A-to-A crossover connections. Avoid forcing connectors into ports and route the cable away from sources of excessive heat or sharp edges. For sustained high-speed transfers, confirm both devices are set to use USB 3.0 mode and keep cable runs as direct as possible to minimise interference.
