High-Speed USB 3.0 Micro-B Cable

This 1.5 m cable connects USB 3.0 Type-A hosts to Micro-B peripherals such as external hard drives and cameras. It supports data transfer rates up to 4.8 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. The male-to-male copper construction ensures a reliable link for everyday data tasks.

Suitable For External Drives And Cameras

This cable suits users who need a direct connection for a USB 3.0 Micro-B device like a 2.5 inch external hard drive or a Pentax camera. It is not for buyers who require a USB-C or standard Micro-USB 2.0 connector, nor for those needing a longer reach than 1.5 metres.

4.8 Gbps Maximum Transfer Rate

The headline specification is the 4.8 Gbps USB 3.0 signalling rate, which determines whether the cable can saturate the bandwidth of a modern external SSD or hard drive. If your workflow demands the higher throughput of USB 3.1 or USB 3.2, this cable will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A to Micro-B cable deliver the full 4.8 Gbps in real use?

The cable is rated for 4.8 Gbps and backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports; actual throughput depends on the host controller and the connected drive.

What clearance does the Micro-B plug need on a 2.5 inch external hard drive?

The Micro-B connector is a standard USB 3.0 Micro-B plug; it fits the recessed ports on Seagate FreeAgent, Elements and similar 2.5 inch drives without an adapter.

Is any driver or software required to use the cable with a Pentax camera or external SSD?

No driver is needed; the cable works as a passive USB 3.0 link, so the host recognises the camera or drive immediately on Windows, macOS or Linux.
