Vszerda USB 3.0 C to Micro-B cable 2M

SKU CH-8RXE-JP893

A USB 3.0 Type-C male to Micro-B cable for external hard drives and Samsung devices, tested to 8000 flex cycles with gold-plated connectors for 5 Gbps transfer

  • Fast 5 Gbps transfers move large files in seconds
  • 2 m length reaches drives without strain
  • 8000-plus flex cycles mean long cable life
  • Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for steady signals
  • Works with USB 3.0 Micro-B phones and portable hard drives

Cable Purpose

This USB 3.0 Type-C male to Micro-B cable connects portable external hard drives and select Samsung devices to a USB-C host. It serves owners of drives such as WD My Passport, Seagate Expansion or Toshiba Canvio who need a direct link without an adapter.

Interface Limits

The cable operates at the USB 3.0 specification with a 5 Gbps data rate, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0. Full SuperSpeed performance requires both the host port and the connected device to be USB 3.0 compliant; otherwise the link falls back to lower speeds.

Deciding Specification

The Micro-B connector fits only devices equipped with a USB 3.0 Micro-B port, such as the Galaxy S5, Note 3 or Note Pro 12.2, and compatible portable hard drives. It will not work with newer phones or drives that use USB-C or Micro-USB 2.0 ports.

Highlights

  • 2 m length reaches drives without strain
  • 8000-plus flex cycles mean long cable life

Questions about this item

Which length should I pick for a desktop external drive?

The cable is 2 metres (6.6 ft) long, giving enough reach from a rear USB-C port to a drive on the desk without excess slack.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I copy files to my WD Elements drive?

5 Gbps is the USB 3.0 interface ceiling; actual throughput depends on the drive’s own speed, but large files such as HD movies will move noticeably faster than on a USB 2.0 link.

Will this cable work at full speed with my laptop’s USB-C 3.0 port?

Yes — the cable is built to the USB 3.0 specification with gold-plated connectors, so it supports SuperSpeed 5 Gbps when both the host port and the drive are USB 3.0 compliant.
