Everyday Charging and Sync Cable

This three-metre USB 2.0 Type-A to Micro USB 5-pin cable provides a long reach for charging tablets, smartphones and digital cameras from a standard computer port or wall adapter. The reinforced connector resists bending stress during daily plugging and unplugging. Plug-and-play operation means no extra drivers are needed before the first use. It suits anyone who needs a single cable for both data transfer and power delivery.

Practical Limits of the USB 2.0 Interface

The cable conforms to the USB 2.0 specification, so maximum data throughput is capped at the standard rate and will not accelerate with faster host ports. Length is fixed at three metres, which is the practical ceiling for passive USB 2.0 cables before signal integrity can degrade. Only Micro USB 5-pin devices are supported; newer USB-C or Lightning equipment cannot be connected. Charging current is limited by the host port and the cable’s internal conductors.

Simple Installation, Common Pitfalls

Connect the Type-A plug to the host and the Micro USB end to the device; the link is recognised immediately without software setup. The most frequent issue is a loose fit caused by worn or debris-filled device ports, which interrupts both data and charging. Excessive bending near the connector heads can fracture the internal wires over time, so avoid sharp angles during routing. Using the cable with under-powered hubs may result in slow charging or dropped transfers.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a shorter or the 3 metre length for my setup?

The 3 metre cable gives extra reach for wall outlets or desk routing, while shorter cables reduce clutter when devices sit close to the port.

What does the USB 2.0 rating mean for everyday file transfers and charging?

USB 2.0 handles typical phone syncs, photo offloads and standard 5 V charging at the speeds most Micro USB devices expect.

Does the Type‑A to Micro USB 5‑pin connection work with USB 3.0 ports and newer chargers?

Yes, the plug fits any USB‑A socket and negotiates the highest speed both ends support, so it works with USB 3.0 ports and modern chargers.
