Short USB-C to Micro-B Cable 10Gbps

This 0.3-metre USB 3.1 cable links a USB-C host to devices with a Micro-B 3.0 port such as external SSDs, hard drives or the Galaxy S5 and Note 3. It is rated for 10Gbps transfer with solid-state storage and 5Gbps with mechanical drives. The short length reduces clutter on a desk or in a bag.

Suits USB-C hosts with Micro-B 3.0 gear

Works for users connecting portable drives, Samsung Galaxy S5 or Note 3 to a USB-C laptop, tablet or phone. Not for anyone needing a USB-A host connector, a USB 2.0 Micro-B plug, an iPhone Lightning connection or a longer reach than 0.3 metres.

10Gbps rating with SSD drives

The cable delivers up to 10Gbps when paired with a solid-state drive, dropping to about 5Gbps with traditional hard drives. This single speed figure determines whether the link meets your throughput requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the USB 3.1 Micro B connector into my external hard drive without forcing it?

Align the wider Micro B 3.0 plug with the drive's port — it only fits one way and is keyed differently from USB 2.0 Micro B, so do not push if it resists.

Will the gold-plated contacts need cleaning or the braided jacket replacement over time?

The connectors are gold plated to resist corrosion and the nylon braid is rated for 15 000 bends; normal desktop use rarely requires either.

At what point does sustained transfer speed drop below the advertised 10 Gbps?

With traditional hard drives the practical ceiling is about 5 Gbps, so the drive's own mechanics become the bottleneck long before the cable does.
