USB 3.1 Type C to Micro B cable

This 0.3 metre cable links a USB Type C host to a Micro USB 3.0 B device for data and charging. Gold-plated connectors, aluminium alloy shells and a cotton braided jacket improve durability. It suits external SSDs, hard drives, smartphones or tablets that use the Micro B interface. The short length keeps a tidy desk or travel bag.

Fits a USB C port on the host side

The Type C plug works with laptops and tablets such as MacBook Pro 2016 to 2020, MacBook Air 2018 to 2020, iMac 2017, iMac Pro, iPad Pro 11 inch and 12.9 inch, XPS 13, XPS 15, Chromebook Pixel, HP Pavilion X2, Yoga 910, OnePlus 3, 5, 5T, 6, 6T and Huawei P20, P20 Pro, P30, P30 Pro. The Micro B end connects drives like Samsung Galaxy S5, My Passport or Elements. No extra adapter or power supply is required.

Sustained 10 Gbps with solid state drives

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps transfer when paired with an external SSD. Traditional spinning drives typically deliver about 5 Gbps over the same link. This rate is 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and twice the speed of USB 3.0. Performance holds steady during long file moves because the construction resists heat and signal loss. Not suited for devices that need a USB A host connection.
