Compatible Devices & Applications

The Vention USB-A to USB-A cable works with various computing scenarios and peripheral connections. It’s commonly used for linking two computers for direct file transfer using compatible software, connecting devices through KVM switches that allow keyboard and mouse sharing, and extending existing USB connections when standard cables fall short.

This cable type proves particularly useful in specialized applications. For instance, it connects certain external hard drive enclosures that require USB-A to USB-A connections, links USB data acquisition devices to computers, and works with specific printer sharing switches. Additionally, it serves in audio equipment setups where USB-A to USB-A connections enable MIDI controller communication or audio interface linking.

However, it’s important to note that this cable configuration doesn’t work for all applications. Standard USB protocols don’t support charging one computer from another through USB-A to USB-A connections. Similarly, it won’t extend USB peripherals like keyboards or mice without specialized adapter hardware. The cable functions best when both connected devices specifically support USB-A to USB-A communication, which is common in industrial equipment, legacy hardware setups, and certain specialized peripherals.

For users managing multiple computers or working with older equipment that requires direct USB connections, this cable provides an affordable solution without complex adapters.
