USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable
This 3.3 ft cable connects USB 3.0 Type A hosts to Micro B devices such as external hard drives and HD cameras. It supports data transfer up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 equipment. The aluminium alloy connector shells and braided jacket add durability for frequent use. Gold-plated contacts and bare copper conductors aim to maintain signal integrity.
Practical limits of USB 3.0 Micro B
The Micro B connector is physically larger than Micro A or USB-C, so it does not fit modern phones, tablets or slim SSDs that use those ports. Maximum cable length for reliable 5 Gbps operation is about 3.3 ft; longer runs may drop to USB 2.0 speeds. The interface cannot deliver the higher power or alternate modes that USB-C supports. Buyers who need to connect USB-C or Lightning devices cannot use this cable.
Installation and common issues
Plug the Type A end into the host and the Micro B end into the peripheral; no driver installation is required on current operating systems. The shaped strain relief reduces bending stress, but forcing the connector upside down can damage the port. Dust inside the Micro B receptacle is a frequent cause of intermittent connection. Ensure both ends are fully seated for stable 5 Gbps performance.

Questions about this item
Which length should I choose for this cable?
The cable is supplied in a single 3.3 ft (1 m) length, so there is no alternative length to select.
What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean in everyday use?
It allows large files such as photos and videos to be copied to a portable hard drive in seconds, and the cable works with USB 2.0 devices at their slower rate.
What interface does the USB 3.0 Micro‑B connector support and what limits it?
The Micro‑B plug follows the USB 3.0 standard, giving up to 5 Gbps transfer speed while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports.
