Cable purpose

The Tripp Lite U040-006-MICRO is a 6 ft USB 2.0 cable with a Micro-B male connector on one end and a USB Type-C male connector on the other. It lets users link legacy Micro-B peripherals such as external drives or smartphones to modern USB-C ports on laptops, tablets or ultrabooks. The reversible Type-C plug removes orientation guesswork during connection.

Speed limit

The cable operates at the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed rate of 60 MB/s, so it is suited to everyday file transfers, charging and sync tasks but not to high-bandwidth workloads such as 4K video ingest or large backup sets. Its 28 AWG conductors and moulded shielding help maintain that rated throughput across the full 6 ft length without signal degradation.

Deciding spec

The critical detail is the Micro-B to USB-C male-to-male connector pairing; if the device you need to attach uses Micro-A, Mini-B or USB-B instead, this cable will not fit. Buyers whose peripherals already have a native USB-C or USB-A interface should choose a matching cable rather than this adapter-style lead.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 6 ft length or a shorter cable for my Micro-B device?

The 6 ft length gives extra reach between a Micro-B peripheral and a USB-C port on a laptop or tablet, while a shorter cable reduces clutter if the devices sit close together.

What does the 60 MB/s rate mean when I connect this cable?

It indicates a maximum practical throughput of 60 MB/s for file transfers between the Micro-B device and the USB-C host.

Which USB standard does the Micro-B to USB-C connection use and what does it limit?

The cable uses USB 2.0, limiting data to 60 MB/s and providing only standard USB 2.0 power delivery.
