USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Cable, USB Type B to SATA Data Cable for HDD and SSD, 0.5M Black

USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Cable, USB Type B to SATA Data Cable for HDD and SSD, 0.5M Black Description

Features: This USB 3.0 extension cable supports full-duplex data transmission for more efficient performance. In USB 3.0, in addition to the 4 main lines, two extra cable sets are added. Each set includes a pair of signal lines and ground lines, with aluminium foil shielding around the outside to help prevent interference between them. One group is used to send data and the other is used to receive data, allowing USB 3.0 to carry out read and write operations simultaneously at full speed. Earlier USB versions do not support full-duplex data transmission.

High-Speed Transfer: USB 3.0, also known as SuperSpeed USB, delivers significantly improved bandwidth with speeds of up to 5Gbps full duplex or 625MB/s. Actual transfer speed is around 3.2Gbps, or approximately 400MB/s, depending on the connected device and usage conditions. By comparison, USB 2.0 supports 480Mbps half-duplex, which is about 60MB/s. This makes the cable suitable for transferring large files such as high-definition videos at speeds limited mainly by the storage device itself.

Compatibility and Performance: A USB 3.0 flash drive can transfer 1GB of data to a host device in around 15 seconds, while USB 2.0 may take about 43 seconds under comparable conditions. This USB 3.0 extension cable supports transmission speeds up to 5Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 at 480Mbps and USB 1.1 at 12Mbps. It is designed for data transmission and connection extension between devices with a USB interface, making it a practical choice for extending access to compatible USB devices.

Materials and Construction: Colour: black and grey. Material: aluminium alloy, PVC and tinned copper wire. Length: 0.5m. Product type: universal USB 3.0 extension cable and high-speed data cable. The internal wire core uses a standard full copper 9-core structure combined with aluminium foil and 96 braided shielding mesh. Its double shielding design, including braided shielding and aluminium foil shielding, helps reduce electromagnetic and radio interference for more stable data transmission.
