What this cable connects

This USB 2.0 cable links a standard Type-A host port to a Micro-B device port. It is built for charging and syncing smartphones, tablets, external drives and other peripherals that use the Micro-B interface. The 6.00 ft length gives enough reach for desktop or bedside use without excess slack.

What the build details change

Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over repeated insertions. The cable uses 28 AWG data conductors and 24 AWG power conductors, a gauge combination that supports the USB 2.0 current rating. A ferrite core suppresses high-frequency noise and moulded strain-relief boots protect the termination points from bending fatigue.

The spec that decides fit

The Micro-B 5-pin male connector is the single specification that determines compatibility; this cable will not fit USB-C, Mini-B or proprietary ports. Buyers whose devices require a different connector shape need a different cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 28 AWG data conductors or 24 AWG power conductors need replacement over time?

The conductors are fixed inside the cable; if the cable is damaged the whole assembly is replaced rather than individual wires.

What limit appears first when the cable runs at USB 2.0 speeds for long periods?

The 28 AWG data conductors set the signal-integrity limit before the 24 AWG power conductors reach their current ceiling.

Does the cable get warm or draw extra power when left connected all day?

It carries only the host-supplied USB 2.0 current through 24 AWG power conductors, so heat rise is negligible during continuous use.
