USB 3.0 cable for external drives

This cable links a USB-A host to a Micro-B device at USB 3.0 speed. It suits owners of external hard-drive enclosures who need a reliable 1 m link for backups or large file transfers. The connection works with PCs, laptops and other USB-A hosts that support the standard.

Reinforced cores with gold-plated ends

Thick copper conductors and a strengthened junction resist repeated bending and pulling during daily carry. Gold-plated contacts fight oxidation so the signal stays stable over long-term use. The build targets durability in laptop bags or desktop setups where cables are plugged and unplugged often.

Micro-B connector limits host choice

The Micro-B end fits only enclosures, docks or devices equipped with that specific port. Buyers whose gear uses USB-C, Lightning or Mini-B cannot use this cable without a separate adapter. Verify the device port before purchase.
