Monoprice 105460 USB 2.0 Cable 15 ft A Male to Micro B Male 28/24AWG

15 ft USB 2.0 A-to-Micro-B cable

This 15-foot USB 2.0 cable connects a standard Type-A host to devices using a Micro-B 5-pin port. It uses 28 AWG conductors for data and 24 AWG conductors for power delivery. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion while the shielded jacket and single ferrite core suppress external signal interference. The moulded strain-relief boots protect the termination points from everyday bending stress.

Shielded construction

The combined foil-and-braid shielding works alongside the ferrite core to maintain signal integrity during long file transfers or continuous device syncing. Thicker 24 AWG power conductors reduce voltage drop over the full 15-foot run so attached peripherals receive stable current. Gold plating on both connectors preserves low contact resistance across repeated mating cycles. The moulded boots prevent cable fatigue at the junction where failures most often appear.

Replaces shorter or unshielded Micro-B cables

This cable upgrades situations where a standard 3-foot or 6-foot lead forces awkward device placement near the host port. It also supersedes thinner 28 AWG-only cables that cannot sustain reliable power delivery to bus-powered enclosures or charging devices at distance. The jump is worth it when the extra reach eliminates the need for an active extender or hub. Buyers who need a USB-C or Lightning interface should look elsewhere.
