What connector genders are provided on the cable?

Both ends are furnished with male connectors to permit direct cable-to-cable or device-to-host linking without adapters.

How long is the cable and how does length affect signal performance?

The lead measures 500 mm
this short length minimises signal degradation for USB 2.0 high‑speed transfers.

What material composes the outer sheath and how does it behave mechanically?

The outer sheath is polyvinyl chloride which offers flexibility and resistance to surface abrasion under normal usage.

Which USB version does the cable support and what does that imply for throughput?
