Short 1ft USB-C to Micro-B cable

Two cables each 0.3 metre long connect a USB-C host to Micro-B 3.0 devices such as portable SSDs or older smartphones. The short length keeps desk clutter low and suits tight spaces behind monitors or inside laptop bags.

10 Gbps transfer with USB 3.1

Rated at 10 Gbps the link moves large files from solid-state drives at full speed while traditional hard drives run near 5 Gbps. No active cooling or external power is involved so the cables stay silent and draw only the bus power allowed by the host port.

Plug into USB-C host and Micro-B 3.0 device

The USB-C end fits laptops, tablets and desktops with a Type-C port while the Micro-B 3.0 end matches drives like WD My Passport Elements and Samsung Galaxy S5. The pair leaves other ports free and needs no driver installation on supported operating systems.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB-C end to my laptop and the Micro-B end to my external drive?

Plug the USB-C connector into your laptop's USB-C port and the Micro-B 3.0 plug into the drive's Micro-B 3.0 port; the cable is 1ft (0.3m) long, so keep devices close.

Will the connectors or cable jacket wear out with daily plugging and unplugging?

The connectors are rated for standard USB 3.1 mating cycles; avoid sharp bends at the strain reliefs to maximise lifespan.

What transfer speed will I see when copying large files to a mechanical hard drive?

With a traditional hard drive the link runs at about 5Gbps, half the 10Gbps peak seen with SSDs.
