FAQs
Is the Simplecom CA305 compatible with USB 2.0 devices?
Yes, the CA305 is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. It works with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 hosts and peripherals, making it versatile across mixed environments.
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
The CA305 supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer at up to 5 Gbps when used with USB 3.0 hosts and devices. Speed may be reduced if used with USB 2.0 devices.
Why is the female connector insulation protected?
The insulation protection reduces the risk of accidental short circuits, electromagnetic interference, and physical damage, ensuring safer and more reliable operation in professional environments.
Can I use multiple CA305 cables to extend the connection further?
While technically possible, chaining multiple extension cables may degrade signal integrity and reduce data transfer speeds. For longer distances, a single high-quality active extension cable is generally recommended.

The CA305 combines nickel-plated connectors, foil braid shielding, and bare copper conductors to deliver error-free data transmission. These features, along with robust construction, make it ideal for business-critical applications.
Is a 0.5M cable long enough for most office setups?
A 0.5 metre cable is suitable for extending connections over short distances, such as from a desktop tower to a nearby peripheral or USB hub. For longer distances, consider a longer cable or extension solution.
What warranty does this cable include?
The Simplecom CA305 includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
