Ugreen USB-A Male to USB-A Male USB 3.0 Alu Case Braided Cable 2M Black – US373

The Ugreen US373 provides a premium direct connection between USB-A equipped devices. This durable cable delivers USB 3.0 performance in a reinforced design built for long-term reliability and daily use.

Superior Data Transfer Capability

The US373 cable supports USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, enabling fast file transfers between:

• External hard drives and computers
• Desktop PCs and peripheral devices
• Laptops and docking stations
• Gaming consoles and external storage

This exceptional transfer speed allows the US373 to move large files approximately 10 times faster than standard USB 2.0 cables. Additionally, the cable maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, ensuring versatility across various equipment generations.

Premium Construction Materials

The Ugreen US373 features several quality design elements that enhance durability:

• Aluminum alloy connector housing provides structural integrity and heat dissipation
• Triple-shielded internal wiring minimizes signal interference and electromagnetic disturbance
• 24K gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure reliable connections
• Nylon braided outer layer prevents tangling and withstands daily wear

Furthermore, the cable incorporates strain relief collars at both connector ends, reducing stress on the internal wiring during bending and preventing premature connector failure.

Extended Cable Length

With a generous 2-meter (6.6 feet) length, the US373 offers flexibility in device positioning without compromising performance. This extended reach allows for:

• Comfortable desktop cable management
• Connecting devices on opposite sides of a workspace
• Linking equipment across different height levels
• Creating setups with greater physical separation between components

The US373’s length has been optimized to balance usability with maintaining stable data transmission, thereby ensuring consistent performance over the entire cable run.

Stylish Aesthetic Design

The Ugreen US373 combines functionality with visual appeal:

• Sleek black braided exterior complements most device setups
• Low-profile aluminum connector housings with subtle Ugreen branding
• Clean, uniform braid pattern throughout the cable length
• Professional appearance suitable for both home and office environments

Moreover, the US373’s braided texture provides improved grip when connecting or disconnecting devices, enhancing the overall user experience.

Universal Device Compatibility

The US373 works reliably with a broad range of USB-A equipped devices:

• Desktop computers and laptops
• External hard drives and SSDs
• Printers and scanners
• Keyboards, mice, and USB hubs
• Gaming consoles and controllers

Additionally, the US373’s USB-A male to USB-A male configuration makes it particularly useful for specialized connections between two host devices when standard USB-A to USB-B or USB-C cables are not applicable.

Ideal Users

The Ugreen US373 is particularly well-suited for:

• Data professionals requiring frequent transfers of large files – the 5 Gbps data rate enables moving a 1GB file in approximately 2 seconds
• Setup builders creating multi-device workstations – the 2-meter length accommodates complex desk arrangements without cable strain
• Users in challenging environments – the aluminum housing and braided construction withstand over 10,000 bend cycles based on manufacturer testing
• Individuals seeking long-term reliability – the gold-plated connectors maintain connection quality through hundreds of connect/disconnect cycles

Plug and Play Functionality

The US373 requires no drivers or additional software, delivering immediate connectivity between compatible devices. Subsequently, users can connect equipment and begin data transfer without configuration delays.
