What this cable does

The Reallycare USB 3.0 A-Male to Micro-B cable connects external hard drives, printers, scanners or external DVD players with a Micro-B 3.0 port to a USB 3.0 Type-A port on a PC or laptop. It supports data transfer up to 5 Gbps and provides fast charging for compatible devices. The 1 ft length keeps desktops tidy and fits easily in a bag or car.

Check your device port

Verify that the peripheral you want to connect uses a USB 3.0 Micro-B connector; the cable will not fit older Micro-B 2.0 ports or USB-C sockets. Ensure the host computer has a USB 3.0 Type-A port to reach the 5 Gbps rate, although the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 at reduced speeds.

Suits short-run setups; not for long distances

This 1 ft cable is ideal for users who need a compact replacement or backup lead for Samsung Galaxy S5, Note 3, Note Pro 12.2, Tab Pro 12.2 or portable drives such as Toshiba Canvio, Seagate FreeAgent and WD My Passport or Elements. Buyers who need more reach between devices should look at a longer cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 1ft cable include both the USB 3.0 Type-A and Micro-B connectors, or do I need a separate adapter?

The cable has a USB 3.0 Type-A male plug on one end and a USB 3.0 Micro-B male plug on the other, so no extra adapter is required.

Should I pick the 1ft length or a longer option for my external hard drive?

The 1ft (35cm) length is designed for desktop, bag or car use where a short, tangle-free reach is preferred; choose a longer cable only if you need more slack.

Will I actually see 5 Gbps transfer speeds when I plug this into my PC?

The cable supports up to 5 Gbps, which is 10x faster than USB 2.0, but real-world speed also depends on your drive, port and system overhead.
