iMBAPrice Blue Gold-Plated 3 ft Micro USB 3.0 Cable

This cable connects USB 3.0 Type-A ports to Micro USB 3.0 devices. It supports data transfer and charging for compatible smartphones and external hard drives. The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for reliable contact. The blue PVC jacket adds visibility in a busy workspace.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Owners of a Samsung Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note 3 can use this cable for syncing and fast charging. It also works with USB 3.0 external hard drives and peripherals. Buyers who need a USB-C connection or a longer reach should look elsewhere. The cable does not support proprietary fast-charge protocols beyond the USB 3.0 standard.

Installation Ease and Common Issues

Plug the Type-A end into a host port and the Micro-B end into the device; no drivers are required. The cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports at reduced speed. A frequent issue is a loose fit on worn Micro-B ports causing intermittent data links. Gold plating helps, but physical wear on the device side remains the main failure point.

Questions about this item

Which device port must I have to plug in the Micro USB 3.0 end?

The cable terminates in a Micro USB 3.0 Type B connector, so the device needs a matching Micro USB 3.0 port such as those on the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900 or Galaxy Note 3 N9000.

Will the cable still function if I connect it to a USB 2.0 port on my computer?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports and will operate at USB 2.0 speeds when used with them.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering USB 3.0 performance after I connect it?

Check that the host system reports a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection and that transfer rates are noticeably faster than USB 2.0 when moving files to a compatible external 3.0 hard drive.
