USB A(M)TO USB A(M)1.5M AD-AA-78

An ADNET USB A Male to USB A Male White 1.5M Cable is a connectivity cable with a USB Type-A male connector on both ends, typically used for data transfer and sometimes for power supply between devices.

Here’s a general description based on common features of such cables and information found for ADNET cables:

General Description:

This ADNET USB A Male to USB A Male cable provides a reliable connection for various devices. With a length of 1.5 meters, it offers flexibility in setting up your workspace or connecting peripherals. The cable features a clean white finish, making it suitable for environments where aesthetics are considered.

Key Features (Commonly found in ADNET USB A-A cables):

• Connector Type: USB Type-A Male on both ends. This means both sides of the cable can plug into standard USB Type-A ports.
• Length: 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet).
• Color: White.
• Data Transfer Speed: While specific speeds can vary depending on the USB version (2.0 or 3.0), many ADNET A-A cables support:
  • USB 2.0: Up to 480 Mbps (Megabits per second) for high-speed data transfer.
  • USB 3.0 (if specified): Up to 5 Gbps (Gigabits per second) for “SuperSpeed” data transfer, which is significantly faster than USB 2.0.
• Compatibility:
  • Backward compatible with older USB versions (e.g., a USB 3.0 cable can work with a USB 2.0 port, but at USB 2.0 speeds).
  • Connects devices such as external hard drives, modems, printers, scanners, USB hubs, cooling pads, and other USB peripherals.
• Construction:
  • Often features corrosion-resistant connectors for reliable signal transmission.
  • May include protective shielding (e.g., STP – Shielded Twisted Pair) to minimize electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, ensuring a clear signal with less loss of bandwidth.
  • Made with materials like copper wire for good conductivity.
• Functionality:
  • Supports plug-and-play functionality, meaning no additional drivers are usually required.
  • Hot-swappable, allowing devices to be connected and disconnected while the system is running.
  • Can increase device current draw to provide power support for high-power demand devices.

Important Note on USB A-Male to A-Male Cables:

While these cables exist and are used for specific purposes (like connecting a USB hub to a computer, certain external hard drive enclosures, or for extending a USB connection for some devices), it’s crucial to understand that directly connecting two computers or two USB hosts with a standard USB A-Male to A-Male cable is generally not recommended and can be dangerous. This is because USB is designed with a host-device architecture, and connecting two hosts directly can lead to power conflicts or damage to the devices. Specialized “bridge cables” or “data transfer cables” exist for direct computer-to-computer connections, but these contain internal electronics to manage the connection safely.
