Connect USB 3.0 Micro B devices

This three-foot cable links a USB 3.0 Micro B peripheral such as a portable hard drive, card reader or video capture device to a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port on a PC or laptop. It is intended for users who need a short, direct connection for external storage or data-capture hardware.

5 Gbit/s throughput with shielding

The cable supports USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s, roughly ten times the speed of USB 2.0, while the aluminium-mylar foil and braid shield plus twisted-pair construction suppress electromagnetic interference. Performance drops to USB 2.0 speeds when either host or device lacks a USB 3.0 controller.

PVC jacket and moulded strain relief

A blue PVC jacket protects the 28 AWG conductors, and moulded connectors with integrated strain relief reduce cable fatigue at the plug ends. The fixed three-foot length suits desktop setups but may be too short for floor-standing towers or rack-mounted equipment.

Questions about this item

Will this USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable work with my older USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the USB 3.0 specification is backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, so the cable will function at USB 2.0 speeds when connected to older hardware.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering USB 3.0 speeds after connecting it?

Check your operating system's device manager or system information to verify the connected device is enumerated as a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 device operating at 5 Gbit/s.

Does the package include any adapters or drivers, or is it just the 3 ft cable?

The box contains only the 3 ft USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable with molded connectors; no adapters, drivers, or additional accessories are included.
