What it is

The C2G 54176 is a 1 m USB 3.0 cable with a Type A male plug on one end and a Micro-B male plug on the other. It carries SuperSpeed data at up to 4.8 Gbps and supplies up to 900 mA of power when both host and device support USB 3.0.

Who it suits

It suits anyone connecting a USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure, printer, modem, camera or other SuperSpeed peripheral to a standard Type A port. Builders who need a longer reach or a different connector orientation should look at something else.

Deciding spec

The single figure that decides fit is the 4.8 Gbps bandwidth rating; if your device and port are both USB 3.0 compliant you will see that speed, otherwise the link falls back to 480 Mbps.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A to Micro-B connector deliver the full 4.8 Gbps SuperSpeed rate?

Yes, when both host and device are USB 3.0 compliant the cable supports up to 4.8 Gbps; it falls back to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 ports.

Will the 1 m length and standard jacket fit behind a desk or rack without sharp bends?

The 3.3 ft cable with a standard PVC jacket and overmoulded strain relief bends easily for tight rear-panel routing.

Is any driver or software needed before the cable works with a hard-drive enclosure?

No driver is required; the plug-and-play design is recognised immediately by Windows and macOS once both ends are firmly seated in blue USB 3.0 ports.
