USB 3.0 (aka USB 3) is a specific generation of USB ports. The main difference between USB versions is their transfer rate (speed) and how many connector pins they have. USB 3.0 ports have 9 pins and have a transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s, but 3.1 versions have 10 Gbit/s. While not technically a USB 3 port, the USB-C connector supports USB versions 3.1 and 3.2 and can connect to USB 3 ports with the correct cable or adapter.
SatelliteSale's USB 3.0 Type A Male to Male Cable supports connecting various peripherals to a host computer (Mac or PC) with this USB 3.0 cable.
The high-performance USB cable offers convenient connections to hard-drive enclosures, printers, modems, cameras, and other USB-compatible devices. The plug-and-play design means it's easy to install - simply connect each end, and you're all set to go. USB 3.0 delivers 10x the data transfer rate of USB 2.0 at up to 5 Gbps.
Note: This cable does not support connecting two computers directly.
Older USB devices, cables, and adapters may be physically compatible with USB 3.0 hardware, but if you need the fastest possible data transmission rate, all devices must support it.
USB connections are backwards compatible. That means older versions will work with new versions, but they'll only work at their original speed.
Many computers identify USB 3.0 with blue ports, but newer PC's typically don't. Mac computers have never used blue ports. When initially released, USB 3 ports were used alongside USB 2 ports. Differentiating them by color makes it easy to identify as to avoid connecting to the wrong port. As USB 2.0 ports were commonly replaced with 3.0 ports, their color differentiation became less necessary. The introduction of USB-C has also made 2.0 ports less common, and thus the color differentiation less necessary.
On a PC, USB 3.0 ports can be identified by checking the Device Manager. You can also identify the physical ports on your computer which will either be blue, or marked with a "SS" (SuperSpeed) logo.
On a Mac, USB ports can be identified in the System Information menu. They're not blue or marked like on a PC.
