SMUGDESK USB 3.0 A Male to MicroB Cable 3.3ft

SKU CH-SNW0-FWRCP

A 3.3ft USB 3.0 A Male to MicroB cable for fast data transfer and power delivery to portable external hard drives

  • 3 ft length allows flexible drive placement
  • USB 3.0 superspeed bandwidth accelerates large-file transfers
  • USB-A to Micro-B 3.0 connector fits WD portable drives
  • Reinforced strain-relief joints resist bending and plug wear
  • Supports both data sync and power delivery

Replacement Cable for WD Portable Drives

This 3.3ft USB 3.0 A Male to MicroB cable serves as a direct replacement for lost or damaged cords used with WD My Passport and Elements portable external hard drives. It restores data access and stable power delivery for compatible storage devices. The design targets users who need a reliable spare for desktop, laptop or mobile workflows.

USB 3.0 Bandwidth and Connector Limits

The cable operates at USB 3.0 superspeed bandwidth, reducing wait times when moving large files, raw footage or high-definition video libraries. Performance is constrained by the USB 3.0 specification and the host controller capabilities of the connected computer. The MicroB 3.0 connector fits only devices equipped with that specific port; it will not mate with USB 2.0 MicroB or USB-C sockets.

Simple Plug-and-Play Installation

Installation requires no drivers: connect the USB-A end to the host and the MicroB end to the drive. Reinforced strain-relief joints at both ends resist cracking from frequent bending and repeated plug cycles. The anti-twist jacket rolls up easily for transport. Verify the device port is USB 3.0 MicroB before purchase to avoid connector mismatch.
