What this cable connects

This USB 2.0 cable links a standard USB-A host port to a Micro-B device port. It suits phones, tablets, MP3 players, cameras and similar portable hardware that charge or sync through a Micro-B socket. The 3-foot length keeps desktop runs tidy without excess slack. Gold-plated contacts and nickel-plated shells resist corrosion for reliable mating cycles.

Signal integrity and build

Foil-and-braid aluminium Mylar shielding blocks EMI and RFI so data stays error-free at the rated 480 Mbps rate. Heavy-gauge conductors and fully moulded strain relief protect the cable-to-connector joints from cracking during repeated flexing. Grip treads on both plugs make insertion and removal smooth without tools or excessive force.

The deciding specification

The cable is rated for USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, so it will not deliver USB 3.x or USB4 throughput. Buyers who need faster transfer speeds for external SSDs or high-resolution video capture should choose a cable certified for a higher USB generation.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB-A and Micro-B ends, and which step do people often get wrong?

Plug the USB-A male end into the host computer or charger and the Micro-B 5-pin male end into the device; the common mistake is forcing the Micro-B connector upside-down because its tapered shape only fits one way.

What part of this cable will wear out first and need replacement?

The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, but repeated insertion cycles can eventually wear the Micro-B plug's spring tabs, making the connection loose — replacing the cable restores reliable contact.

What speed limit appears first during a long, large-file transfer?

The USB 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 480 Mbps, so the cable itself is not the bottleneck — the host controller and device firmware determine the real-world ceiling.
