USB Cable Alcasa USB 2.0 A/A 1 m

The Alcasa USB 2.0 A/A 1 m cable by Good Connections is a 1-metre black data cable with male USB A connectors on both ends, designed for USB 2.0 data transfer. It is intended for connecting devices that accept USB A-to-A connections such as some printers, cameras, external drives and other peripherals where a straight A-to-A link is required. The cable combines a compact form factor with a straightforward connection method for everyday data transfer tasks.

Advantages

This USB 2.0 A/A cable supports the USB 2.0 protocol for reliable data transfer speeds suitable for file transfers, device communication and peripheral linkage. The one-metre length provides a balance between reach and cable management for desktop and home environments. Its black jacket offers a neutral appearance and resistance to visible dirt, while the male USB A connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with devices that require A-to-A connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers or scanners that accept a USB A input
• Linking cameras or external drives to compatible host devices
• Temporary data transfers between two USB A ports that explicitly support A-to-A connections
• Use in home, office or workshop setups where a short, reliable USB cable is needed

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not appropriate for charging or powering devices that require specific power negotiations or higher current than USB 2.0 can provide. It is also unsuitable where the connected devices require USB versions newer than USB 2.0 to achieve higher transfer speeds or advanced features. Additionally, many host devices do not support direct USB A-to-A connections for safety or protocol reasons, so compatibility should be confirmed before use.

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB A (male) to USB A (male)
• USB standard: USB 2.0
• Cable length: 1 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one male USB A plug to the host device and the other male USB A plug to the peripheral that accepts a USB A input. Ensure both devices explicitly support A-to-A connections; consult device manuals if uncertain. After connecting, allow the operating system to detect the peripheral and install drivers if required. Avoid forcing connectors into ports; align the USB A shape correctly before insertion to prevent damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both devices support USB A-to-A connections and that such a connection is recommended by the manufacturers.
• Confirm that USB 2.0 transfer speeds meet your data throughput requirements; consider USB 3.0 or higher if faster transfers are needed.
• Check physical port accessibility and the 1 m cable length against your workspace layout.

Usage recommendations

Use the Alcasa USB 2.0 A/A 1 m cable for short-range data transfers and device linking where a USB A-to-A connection is specified. Keep the cable free from sharp bends and avoid excessive tension to maintain connector and cable integrity. For high-speed data needs or charging requirements, select an appropriate USB standard or cable type.
