StarTech.com USB 3.0, Female USB Type A (Mountable) to Female IDC, Blue, 500 mm

This IC socket USB cable connects a mountable USB Type A interface to an IDC connector, providing a compact link for data and programming tasks within USB3 environments. It is intended for high-bandwidth connections where a board-mounted USBA receptacle must interface with an IDC header, housed in a blue PVC-covered cable that meets recognised European material and safety standards.

• USB3.0 throughput supporting high-speed data transfers
• Female-to-female connection enabling board-to-board linking
• 500mm length allowing flexible routing in enclosures
• PVC jacket offering abrasion resistance and cable protection
• CE and REACH approvals confirming regulatory conformity

• Suitable for in-system programming of microcontrollers and ICs
• Ideal for connecting mountable USBA sockets to IDC headers
• Used with development boards requiring USB3 host access
• Can be used for internal high-speed peripheral wiring in devices

The outer layer is polyvinyl chloride which provides mechanical protection and electrical insulation suited to cabling routed inside equipment.

The female-to-female arrangement permits a board-mounted Type A socket to mate with an IDC header, facilitating connections without altering host or peripheral male interfaces.

The cable carries CE marking and complies with REACH substance regulations, indicating conformity with applicable EU directives and chemical safety requirements.

It implements the USB 3.0 protocol, enabling increased data bandwidth compared with earlier USB versions for programming and data-intensive tasks.
