Eaton U325-015 Tripp Lite USB 3 0 SuperSpeed A to A Cable 15 ft Black
The Eaton Tripp Lite U325-015 is a 15-ft (4.57 m) USB 3.0 SuperSpeed cable with USB Type-A male connectors on both ends. It supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and is intended for connecting computers or other USB host devices to compatible peripherals, patch bays, and USB-A couplers that use female USB-A ports.
Connectivity and Performance
The U325-015 supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 peripherals. Its bi-directional data interface allows data to travel in both directions between connected devices.
Shielding and Cable Construction
The cable uses foil and braid shielding to help protect the USB signal from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Integral strain relief helps reduce mechanical stress at the connectors and supports normal cable movement without excessive strain on the connection points.

DC Supplies Product Note
The U325-015 has an unusual male-to-male USB-A configuration and is not intended for connecting two PCs directly. Eaton specifically identifies it for peripherals, patch bays, and compatible USB-A couplers that provide female USB-A ports. This distinction is important when selecting the cable because standard USB device connections more commonly use USB-A to USB-B or other connector combinations.
