USB 3.0 Micro-B Cable 1.8m

This USB 3.0 cable connects a USB-A host to a Micro-B device. It is built for external hard drives, hubs, printers and similar peripherals that use the Micro-B 3.0 interface. The 1.8 metre length gives flexibility for desktop or bench setups.

Suits USB 3.0 Micro-B peripherals.

Buyers with USB 3.0 hard drives, docking stations or hubs that have a Micro-B 3.0 port will find this cable a direct fit. It does not support USB-C, Lightning or legacy Mini-B connectors, so owners of newer phones, tablets or cameras using those ports should look elsewhere.

4.8 Gbit/s maximum throughput

The cable is rated for up to 4.8 Gbit/s when used with a USB 3.0 host and device. Gold-plated connectors and shielding are included to maintain signal integrity at that speed. Actual transfer rates depend on the host controller, the peripheral and the file types being moved.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.8 m USB 3.0 Micro B cable come alone or with extra adapters?

The package contains only the single 1.8 m USB 3.0 A Male to Micro B cable; no adapters or additional accessories are included.

The listing mentions 4.8 Gbit/s and 2.1 amps — which figure should I use to decide if this cable fits my external hard drive?

Choose based on the 4.8 Gbit/s throughput rating; that is the USB 3.0 data speed your drive needs, while the 2.1 A value refers to maximum charging current.

Will the 4.8 Gbit/s headline speed actually appear when I plug the cable into my laptop and drive?

You will see up to 4.8 Gbit/s only when both the host port and the connected device support USB 3.0; otherwise the link falls back to USB 2.0 speeds.
