  • 10 times faster than USB 2.0 for efficient data management

What this cable does

This USB-A to Micro-B 3.0 cable links external hard drives, hubs, smartphones and tablets that use the thinner Micro-B 3.0 port. It carries data at up to 5 Gbps and supplies power for bus-powered drives. The six-foot length reaches desktop ports without strain.

Plug it in and it works

Connect the USB-A end to the computer and the Micro-B end to the device; no drivers are required. Gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief reduce wear from repeated insertion. The foil-and-braid shield keeps the 5 Gbps signal clean, but the connector only fits Micro-B 3.0 ports — it will not seat in a Micro-B 2.0 socket.

Speed and length limits

The cable handles the full 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rate, making it ten times faster than 2.0 for large media libraries and backups. Beyond six feet the specification no longer guarantees that throughput, so longer runs need an active extender or a powered hub. It is not for buyers who need a USB-C or Lightning connection.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed link is active after connecting the cable?

The host should enumerate the device as a USB 3.0 peripheral; check Device Manager on Windows or System Information on macOS to confirm the 5 Gbps link width.

What accessories are included and what must I supply?

Only the 6 ft USB-A to Micro-B 3.0 cable is in the box; no adapter, power supply or mounting hardware is provided.

Which length or connector variant should I select for a desktop external drive?

This listing offers a single 6 ft USB-A to Micro-B 3.0 version; choose it when the drive uses the wider Micro-B 3.0 port and the host has a standard USB-A socket.
