USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable

This 0.5 metre cable links a USB 3.0 Type A host port to a Micro-B 3.0 device. It suits users connecting external hard drives or other SuperSpeed peripherals to a desktop or laptop. The male-to-male connectors are moulded with strain relief for a secure fit. Black jacket and standard plug type complete the assembly.

Sustained 5 Gbit/s transfer

The cable is rated for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at 5 Gbit/s and maintains that bandwidth across its full length. Aluminium-Mylar foil with braided shielding protects signal integrity during long copy sessions. Compliance with USB 3.0 specifications ensures consistent throughput without the drops seen on lesser shielded leads. Backwards compatibility allows 480 Mbps operation on older ports.

Low heat and silent operation

Passive construction means no fan noise and negligible heat under normal data loads. Power draw follows the USB 3.0 bus limit so the host port supplies all required current. Moulded strain relief reduces connector stress that can cause intermittent contact. The half-metre length keeps voltage drop minimal for reliable device enumeration.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.5 m cable get warm or draw extra power during all-day large file transfers?

The cable carries up to 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed data with aluminum-Mylar foil and braid shielding, so it runs cool and adds no measurable power draw beyond the drive itself.

Which port must my laptop already have to use this USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable?

Your computer needs a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port (the blue 9-pin SuperSpeed connector) to plug the A end into.

Can I connect this cable to an older USB 2.0 Micro-B drive without losing data?

Yes, the Micro-B 10-pin plug is backward-compatible; it will mate with a USB 2.0 Micro-B port and transfer at up to 480 Mbps.
