Vention USB 3.0 A Male to B Male Cable 1.5M Black PVC Type (COOBG) – One Cable for New USB 3.0 B Devices and Older Ports

The Vention USB 3.0 A Male to B Male Cable 1.5M Black PVC Type (COOBG) is a USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) data cable that connects a computer’s USB-A port to a device with a USB 3.0 Type-B port. Typically, you find that wider, two-tier B port on external hard drive docks, 3.5-inch drive enclosures, USB 3.0 docking stations and document scanners. On a USB 3.0 port, the cable moves data at up to 5Gbps, so a 1GB file copies in roughly five seconds. Furthermore, it stays backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports at 480Mbps, which means an older office PC still recognises the device.

Inside, tinned copper conductors carry the signal, while aluminium foil and metal braid shielding blocks interference from nearby power cables and routers. In addition, nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion, and the flexible black PVC jacket handles daily plugging. Consequently, an SME in Westlands or a cyber café in Nakuru gets stable backups and scans across the full 1.5m reach from desk to tower.
