What this cable connects

This FRIGRAF Micro B 3.0 cable links external hard drives with the wide Micro USB 3.0 port to computers that have USB Type C or USB A ports. The 1.6 ft length suits desktop setups where the drive sits next to the host. It handles both data transfer and power charging for compatible cameras, smartphones and tablets. Photographers using Nikon D800, D800E or Canon 5D4, 5DS, 5DSR bodies get a stable tether for studio shoots.

USB 3.0 speed ceiling

The cable supports 5 Gbps transfers, which is ten times the 480 Mbps rate of USB 2.0 links. Actual throughput will drop to 480 Mbps if the Type C plug is not oriented correctly; flipping the connector restores the higher speed. The PVC jacket is rated for 10000 flex cycles, so repeated plugging in studio or field workflows should not degrade the connection. No Thunderbolt or USB4 signalling is carried through this Micro B interface.

Check your drive port first

Verify that the external drive presents the wide, dual-segment Micro USB 3.0 port — older Micro 2.0 or Mini-B sockets will not accept this connector. The host side requires either a USB Type C port or a USB A port using the included adapter. Ensure the computer port can supply enough bus power for the attached drive; some high-capacity HDDs may need an external power source.

Questions about this item

Which connector combination should I pick for my external hard drive?

The cable has a Micro B 3.0 plug for the drive plus both a USB-C and a USB-A connector for the host, so one cable covers either port type.

What does the 5 Gbps rating deliver when I copy files to my laptop?

It supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps, moving large video files in seconds rather than minutes.

Does the USB-C end work with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports on a Mac?

Yes, the USB-C connector is compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 ports on Macs from 2017 onward.
