Cable purpose and audience

This DOCTOR METAL cable connects a USB 3.0 Type-A host to a Micro-B device such as an external hard-drive enclosure. It serves users who need a reliable link for data transfer and charging between computers, phones and compatible storage peripherals. The two-metre length gives flexible placement on a desk or bench.

Capacity and headroom

The USB 3.0 interface supports high-speed data throughput for typical mechanical and solid-state external drives. Everyday file moves and backups run smoothly, while very large sequential transfers or RAID arrays may approach the bus limit. Power delivery is sufficient for standard bus-powered enclosures.

Deciding specification

The connector pairing is USB Type-A to Micro-B, so the cable only fits ports of those exact shapes. It will not work with USB-C, Lightning or Mini-B sockets. Verify the port on your enclosure or device before purchase.
