USB-kabel Helos 014686 USB 3.2 Gen 1 3 m blå

The Helos 014686 USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable is a 3 meter blue USB A to USB A data cable designed for reliable high-speed connections. Supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1), it provides enhanced data transfer rates compared with USB 2.0 while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy ports. This cable is intended for everyday use where extended reach is required, such as connecting external drives, printers, docking stations or other peripherals that accept a USB A male connector.

Advantages

The cable combines a 3 m length with USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance to enable faster file transfers over longer distances than typical short cables. Its USB A to USB A configuration makes it compatible with many desktop and peripheral setups. The blue jacket improves visibility and cable identification in multi-cable environments, while the construction is designed for regular plugging and unplugging without loss of signal integrity. Backward compatibility ensures it functions with older USB ports at their supported speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to hosts that accept USB A
• Linking printers, scanners and other peripherals to desktop computers
• Extending reach between USB-equipped devices in an office or home setup
• Temporary data transfer tasks where a 3 meter cable is preferred over shorter cables

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (male) to USB A (male)
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum cable length: 3 m
• Colour: Blue
• Data transfer capability: supports SuperSpeed data rates typical for USB 3.2 Gen 1

How to use

Plug one USB A connector into the host device and the other USB A connector into the peripheral that accepts a USB A input. Ensure connectors are fully inserted to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, connect to USB 3.2 Gen 1-capable ports on both devices; if either device only supports an earlier USB version, transfer speeds will default to the lower supported rate. Avoid excessive bending at the connector ends and route the cable to prevent sharp kinks.

Recommendations

For optimal reliability, use this cable in indoor environments and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. When connecting storage devices, safely eject the drive from the operating system before unplugging to prevent data loss. If full SuperSpeed performance is required, verify that both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and that port connectors are clean and free of debris.
