USB 3.0 Type A to Micro B cable, 15 ft

This fifteen-foot cable connects a standard USB 3.0 Type A host to a Micro B device such as an external hard-drive enclosure, printer or camera. It is built with copper conductors and black insulation, ready for plug-and-play use on both PC and Mac systems. The male-to-male design suits direct peripheral links without gender changers.

SuperSpeed limit at 4.8 Gbps with USB 3.0 hosts

The cable delivers up to 4.8 Gbps when both ends negotiate USB 3.0, dropping to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 ports and further to 1.1 speeds on legacy hardware. Length stays fixed at fifteen feet, so signal quality depends on the host controller and device compliance rather than any extension or repeater in the cable itself. Backward compatibility is automatic but does not raise the ceiling above the port's native rate.

Micro B connector decides fit

Only devices equipped with a USB 3.0 Micro B port can use this cable; Type C, Mini B or proprietary connectors are not supported. Buyers needing a different device-side plug or a shorter run for tighter cable management should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 15 ft cable or a shorter length for my external hard drive?

The 15 ft length gives maximum placement flexibility for desktop drives, printers or cameras; pick a shorter cable only if you need less slack on a crowded desk.

What does the 4.8 Gbps rating mean when I copy files to a USB 3.0 drive?

With a USB 3.0 host and device you can reach up to 4.8 Gbps transfer rate, cutting large-file copy times roughly tenfold compared with USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps.

Does the USB 3.0 Micro-B connector limit speed on a USB 2.0 port?

The cable is backward compliant; on a USB 2.0 port it runs at 480 Mbps, and on USB 1.1 at 1.1 Mbps, while the USB 3.0 Micro-B plug still fits physically.
