The SuperSpeed version of the classic device cable. This 3ft Cable Leader USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cord connects to the taller, blue USB 3.0 Type-B port found on docking stations, drive enclosures, powered hubs and newer printers.
The speed difference is the reason it exists: 5 Gbps versus 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. For a printer that gap barely matters, but for a docking station or a 3.5 inch hard drive enclosure it is the difference between a usable device and a frustrating one.
It is fully backward compatible - plug it into a USB 2.0 port and it simply runs at USB 2.0 speed.
Note the connector shape: USB 3.0 Type-B is taller than the USB 2.0 Type-B plug and has an extra section on top. A USB 2.0 cable will not fit a USB 3.0 Type-B port, which is exactly why this cable is worth having.
USB Generation Quick Reference: USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) = 480 Mbps | USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed) = 5 Gbps | USB 3.2 Gen 2 = 10 Gbps. USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 are three names for the identical 5 Gbps standard.
