The A-to-A cable, done properly. This 3ft Cable Leader USB 3.0 cord has a standard Type-A plug on both ends, the arrangement used by hard drive enclosures, docking stations, KVM switches and various industrial and broadcast equipment.
It carries the full SuperSpeed USB 3.0 rate of 5 Gbps, which is what makes it worth using for drive enclosures and capture devices rather than a USB 2.0 cord.
It is backward compatible: plugged into a USB 2.0 port it runs at 480 Mbps.
One caution worth stating plainly: an A-to-A cable is for equipment that specifically calls for one. Connecting two computers directly with an A-to-A cable is not supported and can damage ports - use a purpose-built data transfer or network connection for that.
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.
