Three-pack 0.5 m USB-A to Micro-B 3.0 cables

This set contains three identical cables, each 0.5 metres long, with a standard USB-A plug on one end and a Micro-B 3.0 connector on the other. They are designed for data transfer and charging between a host computer and compatible peripherals. The black finish is consistent across all three units.

Suits users with legacy Micro-B 3.0 devices

The cables match equipment such as the Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, Galaxy Note 3 and Western Digital My Passport drives that use the Micro-B 3.0 port. Buyers needing USB-C, Lightning or the older Micro-B 2.0 connector should look at other cable types because the plug shape and pin count are different.

Consistent throughput on every unit

Each cable in the pack is built to the USB 3.0 specification, so sustained read and write speeds remain stable across the full 0.5 metre length during large file transfers. The short run keeps signal loss minimal, and having three on hand lets you leave one at a desk, one in a bag and one by a charging station without swapping.

Questions about this item

What USB-A port version do I need on my computer for these 3.0 cables to work?

Any standard USB-A port works; the cables will run at the port's supported speed.

Will these cables connect my older Micro B 2.0 external drive to a USB-A 3.0 port?

Yes, the Micro B 3.0 plug fits Micro B 2.0 receptacles and will operate at 2.0 speeds.

How can I confirm the cables are running at 3.0 speed after I plug them in?

Check the OS device manager or system profiler — it should list the link as 5 Gbps or SuperSpeed.
