  • Slim, lightweight wire reduces desk clutter

What this cable connects

This USB 3.0 Micro-B to Type-A cable links portable external hard drives, smartphones or tablets equipped with a USB 3.0 Micro-B port to a computer or laptop. It supports SuperSpeed data transfer at up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), roughly ten times faster than USB 2.0, and also handles charging and syncing for compatible mobile devices. The six-foot length gives flexible placement on a desk or in an office without excess clutter.

Thermals noise and power

The cable draws power directly from the host USB port and operates without active cooling, so it produces no audible noise and adds negligible heat to the system. Gold-plated connectors maintain low contact resistance, keeping power delivery stable during extended file transfers or charging sessions. Its slim wire construction reduces bulk while preserving signal integrity at SuperSpeed rates.

Bundled accessories and software

No additional adapters, drivers or software utilities are included with the cable. The gold-plated Type-A and Micro-B plugs are ready to use immediately on any standard USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port, providing plug-and-play connectivity for supported external storage and mobile devices.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB 3.0 Micro-B to Type A cable and what step do people often get wrong?

Plug the blue Type A connector into a USB 3.0 port and the Micro-B end into the device; the common mistake is using a black USB 2.0 port, which limits speed to the 2.0 rate.

What maintenance or replacement will this cable need later?

Inspect the gold-plated contacts periodically for dust or oxidation and replace the cable if the Micro-B hood cracks or the wire frays near the strain relief.

What limit appears first under sustained file transfers with this cable?

The 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed ceiling (625 MB/s theoretical) is reached before the cable itself becomes a bottleneck, so actual throughput depends on the drive and host controller.
