How long is USB3SAB5M?

It has USB Type-A male at the host end and USB 3.x Type-B male at the device end.
What is the maximum data rate?

Does it need a separate power adapter?
No cable power adapter is listed, though the connected peripheral may require its own power.
Can I use it with a USB-C-only computer?
