USB-C to Micro-B connectivity

This cable links a USB-C host to devices that use a USB 3.0 Micro-B port. It suits owners of legacy smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 or Note 3, and portable hard drives from Toshiba Canvio, Seagate FreeAgent and WD My Passport or Elements. It is not for users whose devices require a USB-C or Lightning connector.

5 Gbps transfer rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 5 Gbps maximum data rate of the USB 3.0 interface. This speed supports fast file transfers from mechanical external drives and syncs smartphone data at ten times the throughput of USB 2.0. Buyers needing 10 Gbps or 20 Gbps links must choose a different cable.

1 metre length with 24/32 AWG conductors

The bundled 3.3 ft cable uses 24/32 AWG conductors to carry both data and charging current. This fixed length reaches from a laptop port to a desktop drive without slack, but it cannot span longer distances or fit tight routing behind furniture. No adapters, software or additional accessories are included.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps transfer speed mean when I plug this cable into my laptop and external drive?

The 5 Gbps rating is the USB 3.0 maximum; actual throughput depends on your drive and host controller, but you can expect several hundred megabytes per second for large file copies.

Which USB standard does the Type-C connector follow and what does that limit?

The connector follows USB 3.1 Gen 1 signalling, which caps the link at 5 Gbps and provides up to 900 mA of bus power for charging.

Will the 3.3 ft length reach from my desk USB-C port to a floor-standing hard drive?

At 1 metre (3.3 ft) the cable suits typical desk-to-drive distances; it uses 24/32 AWG conductors and male-to-male plugs, so no extra adapters are needed.
