Three-metre reach for Micro-B devices

This three-metre USB 3.0 cable connects a standard Type-A host to a Micro-B 3.0 peripheral. The slim, moulded connectors fit inside most protective cases. It is built for users who need to charge and sync smartphones, tablets or portable hard drives across a room or desk.

Replaces short stock cables that limit placement

The extra length removes the need to keep a device next to the host port. The jump is worth it when you want a portable drive positioned away from a laptop or a phone charging on a nightstand while still transferring data at the full 5 Gbit/s rate.

Maintains signal integrity over the full run

Aluminium-Mylar foil with braid shielding protects the SuperSpeed pairs from interference during sustained transfers. The flexible jacket resists kinking when the cable is routed around furniture, so throughput stays consistent during long backup or sync sessions.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the slim Micro-B connector need to fit inside a protective case?

The slim connector profile is designed to mate with USB 3.0 Micro-B ports even when the device sits inside a typical protective case.

Which orientation do the USB Type-A and Micro-B plugs go in, and what is the common mistake?

Both plugs are male; insert the 9-pin Type-A into the host and the 10-pin Micro-B into the device, making sure the wider side of each plug faces up so the keys align.

How often should the aluminum-Mylar foil and braid shielding be inspected for wear?

Check the shielding visually whenever the cable is coiled or uncoiled; replace the cable if the braid becomes exposed or the foil shows tears.
