Product Description

Our USB 3.0 Transfer Cables (USB3-TRAN) give you the power to transfer your important files and data between two Windows PCs at a time. With convenient data transfer over USB 3.0, plug-and-play ease, and point-to-point simplicity and security, you can transfer your important files and data with confidence.
Featuring USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Type-A on both ends, and a Prolific PL-257A1 chipset, our Transfer Cables provide transferring without the storage limitations you’d find by using discs or drives. The Plugable USB3-TRAN works up to three times faster than our USB 2.0 Transfer Cable if both computers have USB 3.0 ports.
A great solution for transferring files and folders when upgrading from an older Windows computer to a newer one, or for regular transfers between Windows computers. Provides unlimited use to transfer what you need, when you need. (Note: Programs cannot be transferred. Programs must be re-installed from the original discs or installation files.)

In the Box

- 16 character alphanumeric Product Key (printed on a tag and tied to the cable itself)
- Software installation can be downloaded from our website at no additional cost.
- A quick start guide

The Bravura Easy Computer Sync software is asking me for a Product Key. Where do I find my Product Key?
The Product Key is a 16-character alphanumeric code unique to each order. Since 12/01/2017, Product Keys are printed on a tag which is tied to the Transfer Cable itself. If you purchased your Transfer Cable before 12/01/2017, you should have received an email containing the Product Key. Please reach out to us directly with your 鶹 order number for help with your Product Key.
I purchased the cable from a local PC shop, eBay, or "鶹 Warehouse Deals". How do I get my Product Key?
The Product Key is uniquely tied to the original 鶹 Order ID number of the purchase, so whoever originally purchased the cable was sent the product key before they resold the cable. If the cable is purchased used, from a third party seller, or on a site other than 鶹, we are unable to provide a product key. The Transfer Cable must be purchased new directly from Plugable on 鶹 to receive this Product Key.
Does each computer need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse attached?
Yes, each PC will need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse so that you can launch and operate the transfer program.
Is the Plugable USB 3.0 Transfer Cable compatible with macOS?
Our Transfer Cables are not compatible with any macOS version.
How long will it take to complete the transfer?
The transfer time varies with the speed of the old “source” system (and hard drive in particular). The amount of data to be transferred will also affect transfer times, so some systems will transfer in minutes while others will take hours.
Should I install the software before plugging in the cable, or the other way around?
We recommend installing the transfer software first because it will copy the necessary driver files to your PC so they are ready to load when the cable is attached.
My old computer won't function properly. Can I use this to transfer content to my new computer?
No. Computers must be in full working order to install and run the Bravura Easy Computer Sync software to perform transfers. We would suggest finding a local and trusted technician to help.
Will this transfer my programs and games?
No. Programs and games must be installed using the original discs/installation files.
Is there a specific USB port that I should connect the cable to on either system?
In most cases, connecting to any available USB port will be fine, although using a USB 3.0 port on each computer will allow maximum speed. In situations where the transfer software cannot establish a connection between the two PCs or is losing the connection mid-transfer, attaching the cable to a different port is a good troubleshooting step. On older PCs especially, we’ve found that trying the cable in another port (preferably on the rear of the computer) can help resolve various issues.
I’ve installed the Bravura Easy Computer Sync software on both systems, and instead of starting the transfer process both systems say “Waiting for Connection” indefinitely. What’s going on, and how can I get the connection to work?
- Give each computer a restart. It's always a good practice to restart your computer after installing software to allow the installation and changes to complete
- Try running the software as an Administrator. You can do this by right clicking the application, and choose, "run as administrator"
- Certain antivirus/firewall/security software can block the connection between the two PCs. When a connection cannot be established, temporarily disabling any such software on both systems is often the solution
- If there are multiple versions of transfer software open at once, they can interfere with each other. For example, sometimes Windows will automatically launch the “Windows Easy Transfer” software when a transfer cable is plugged in, even though the Bravura Easy Computer Sync software will be used for the transfer. Please make sure that only one transfer program is open on each system
- If the drivers for the transfer cable have not been successfully installed on either of the two PCs, a connection between them will not be established. Windows 7, 8.1, 10, and 11 should install the drivers automatically. XP and Vista systems need a driver installed which is included with the Bravura Easy Computer Sync software. If there are any errors with driver installation when plugging in the cable, please write them down exactly as these error messages can be helpful while troubleshooting the issue via email

- Reviewed in Canada on April 27, 2016Verified PurchaseThis was my 3rd purchase of transfer cables--and absolutely the best!
My first set used USB 1.1 so was interminably slow. The second set from Dell used USB 2.0, so it was faster, but a dreadful user interface.
This set from Plugable is USB 3.0 and the transfer speed is fast. (speed tests below) This is important. If all we do is transfer a small file or two it's much faster to use our home network. So, the cables will be used only when we have large, or many, files to transfer. This is where Plugable 3.0 cables pay for themselves.
The Plugable Company is excellent. 鶹 provides the cables -- with a mini-CD; although most of us will download the software ensuring we have the latest. Plugable sends the software key to your 鶹 registered email. It arrived earlier than the cables (2-day express).
I sent an email to Plugable. They used auto-reply to acknowledge my mail--but FOUR MINUTES later I received a full response from Plugable. They deal with my issue and added further information which they thought might be helpful to me.
FOUR FLEXIBLE OPTIONS
1. DRAG AND DROP
This allows you to drag any file from one computer to any destination in the attached computer; unlike a network transfer that limits you to shared folders.
I experimented with a folder containing 6 gb video files:
From one folder to another on the same computer: 2:45 mins (a fast gaming Asus notebook)
From one folder to another on a different computer using a fast (AC3200) network: 6:38 mins.
From one folder to another on a different computer using Plugable cables: 4:01 mins.
This gave a speed increase of over 65%, with the added benefit of transferring to any folder on the second computer. (Not restricted to a shared folder, which would then require another 2 or 3 minutes to transfer it to its final destination.)
2. SYNC FILES
This can be a superb time saver.
Say you have 100 books/magazines/comics on computer one, and they are backed up on computer two. You purchase another six or seven books on computer one and want to update the second computer. Simply use the SYNC FILES option, and point to the appropriate directories and Plugable quickly transfers only the new files.
3. TRANSFER DATA TO ANOTHER COMPUTER
I prefer to use the two options above, but for those who might not know which files to transfer from an old computer to a new one, this should be a most useful tool.
4. CONTROL OTHER COMPUTER
A nice utility that works well, but I can't see any use for it. Why control a second computer while working on the first if the second one is less than three feet away? This is useful when you need to control a remote computer which is miles away; over the internet--but I got the feeling that what we have here is a cure for which there is no disease. Nevertheless, experience suggests that there are probably many people who find this invaluable and use it all the time. Go figure!
There is a misleading comment on their packaging, "Does not transfer programs, or executables (protects from malware)". I suspect this is a built-in safeguard when using the Transfer Data option. I was able to easily transfer a folder which had the executable and the uninstall file without any problem.
Forgive me if this was long-winded, but for those who are seriously considering this product I hope that the information above will help you decide. IMHO definitely a 5-star product, and a bargain at the price for those who will use it.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2022Verified PurchaseWhen we bought a new laptop, I needed to transfer a lot of old files between the old and new. Using the Network was painfully slow. Even using as USB stick would have been almost if not just as slow.
Getting the transfer cable set up was easy (although I know that could be matter of opinion). I needed to download the software and register a key on both laptops but that wasn't too much of an issue. I was able to find the folders I wanted to transfer with little issue. The only issue was not seeing the folders I needed at first. However, I was able to fix this quickly by checking the right box.
Once the transfer started it was much faster then the network. It was to the point where it took a little under an hour when using the network might have taken the better part of a day!
I recommend it if you have a lot of data you need to transfer. My experience might not be the same as everyone's of course. But, it worked great for me.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 30, 2022Verified PurchaseI wanted something to help me transfer games from my main PC to a secondary PC, as doing it over my network (or just re-downloading) was taking way too long and often used enough bandwidth to kick other devices offline (local network transferring, not re-downloading).
I needed a solution, and I didn't have a way to make a local network that these two computers could sit isolated on and transfer, so I went looking for a way to do it over USB...
This works great, it does act a little different to how you'd probably expect (e.g I was sort of hoping it would come up as a attached drive) and the program closes on both machines as soon as the transfer is done, which isn't my preference.
You also have to predetermine folders before hitting sync, and the only way to remove the added folder pair is to reset the folder listing to default, there is no way to remove a folder pair otherwise. If you could do it individualy you could use it to keep the game updates in sync with a PC that might not always be online long enough for those updates, while also doing other transfers and deleting those pairs.
I would recommend if you plan on transferring games a lot like I do, but you have to allow some querks in the process.
I'd also like to see if this works on my SteamDeck, might update review if I get the program running on it.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2025Verified PurchaseYou CANNOT select the source folder nor the target folder. That's silly
You transfer everything or nothing from Documents, Music, Pictures and Downloads
This is an unacceptable limitation.
Don't buy
- Reviewed in Canada on December 3, 2022Verified PurchaseVery easy to use, and worked perfectly in sync mode. I had no problems transferring data from a Windows 10 to a Windows 11 computer, save that the icons for files saved to desktop, and desktop shortcuts to documents, did not immediately download on the new computer. For some reason, I had to authorize these "pictures" as they called them, which they said were different for both laptops, being saved on both laptops. I did not understand this at all, but it worked.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2024Verified PurchaseI am very happy I bought this data transfer cable. I bought a new notebook which I plan on using for travel. And the reason I bought this cable was I wanted to be able to sync the data of my home computer with my travel computer. For me, I found the easiest was to partition my C: drive and add a D: drive to each of my computers. Then I placed all my data for work, including photos etc. on the D: drive. Then after connecting the 2 computers the data is sync between both computers. I can work on one computer then later in the day connect the data transfer cable to the other computer, and then other computer has all the files updated automatically after a few mouse clicks

Verified PurchaseIt is really annoying to pay all this money and then discover that no product key when you are just about to transfer data
It is like they are wagering so that the ones in urgent need will just pay online the license again !!!!!
So baadddddd
