The U325-006 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed A/A Cable (M/M) connects your computer, laptop or other compatible USB 3.0 device, such as Chromebooks and Surface tablets, to a USB-A peripheral or patch bay with a female port. It's recommended for use with Tripp Lite's U325-000-KP-BK, U325-000-KPA-BK and U325-001-KPA-BK USB 3.0 All-in-One Keystone/Panel Mount Couplers. This six-foot cable supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps—10 times faster than USB 2.0. Its bi-directional data interface allows data to flow both directions simultaneously, increasing theoretical bandwidth by 10 times for efficient power and little wait-time. Backward compatible with earlier USB generations, the U325-006 features premium foil and braid shielding to deliver reliable, error-free signal quality and protection from EMI/RFI line noise that can distort or destroy data. Molded nickel-plated connectors with corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts provide maximum conductivity and minimize data loss. Integral strain relief gives the cable extra flexibility, reduces stress, and helps the cable and connectors move freely without cracking. A rugged PVC jacket protects twisted 28 AWG data lines and 24 AWG power lines..
