Connectivity and Use

This three-foot USB 3.0 Micro-B cable links external hard drives, printers and network hubs to a PC or Mac. It supports SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. Molded strain relief and grip treads make repeated plugging and unplugging easier. The copper construction keeps the cable portable for mobile workflows.

Who It Suits and Who It Does Not

Photographers using Fuji X-T2 or GFX 50S cameras, owners of LaCie Rugged Mini, Porsche Design or Sony SL-BG1 drives, and users of Adata HD710, Buffalo MiniStation or HGST Touro Mobile MX3 drives will find a direct replacement. Buyers needing a USB-C or Lightning connector, a longer reach than three feet, or a cable rated for power delivery beyond the USB 3.0 specification should look at other options.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

During extended copy sessions the cable maintains the USB 3.0 signalling rate without dropping to USB 2.0 speeds, provided the host controller and drive firmware support continuous SuperSpeed operation. The molded connectors resist loosening under vibration, so signal integrity stays stable across long backups or video offloads. Power draw remains within the USB 3.0 limit, so bus-powered drives stay operational without an external adapter.

Questions about this item

What port must my external hard drive have to use this 3 ft Micro-B cable?

The drive needs a USB 3.0 Micro-B port, as found on LaCie Rugged Mini, Sony SL-BG1, Buffalo MiniStation, A-Data HD710, Fuji X-T2, GFX 50S and the other listed models.

Will this cable still work if I plug it into an older USB 2.0 port on my computer?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, though the transfer rate will drop to the older standard's speed.

How can I confirm the cable is running at the full 5 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the operating system's device manager or system profiler to verify the link shows USB 3.0 / SuperSpeed, and run a large file transfer to see sustained throughput near the rated speed.
