Connection cable

The DOCTOR METAL cable provides a USB 3.0 link between a standard Type-A port and a Micro-B socket. It measures 0.5m and uses copper conductors for data and power delivery. The gold-plated contacts resist oxidation to maintain signal quality over time. The reinforced strain relief reduces wear from repeated bending.

Suited for short runs

This length suits external hard-drive enclosures, phones or other Micro-B devices sitting close to a laptop or desktop. Builders routing cables behind a motherboard tray or across a full-tower chassis will find the reach insufficient. Users needing a Type-C or Lightning connector must choose a different cable.

Critical spec

The Micro-B connector is the single detail that decides fitment; it only mates with USB 3.0 Micro-B ports found on many portable drives and older peripherals. A device with Type-C, Mini-B or proprietary sockets cannot use this cable. Verify the port on your equipment before ordering.

Questions about this item

What connectors come on the cable and is anything else needed?

The cable has a USB-A plug on one end and a Micro-B plug on the other, so it connects a computer or charger directly to a Micro-B device without extra adapters.

Does the 0.5 m length suit a desktop or a portable drive?

At 0.5 m it reaches a drive sitting next to a laptop or desktop without excess slack, making it practical for both stationary and mobile use.

What does the USB 3.0 rating mean for actual transfer speed?

USB 3.0 is rated for up to 5 Gbit/s, and the copper conductors with gold-plated contacts are built to sustain that throughput in real-world use.
