What this cable connects

The Tripp Lite U050-006 is a USB 2.0 cable with a Type-A male plug on one end and a Micro-B male plug on the other. It links computers, chargers or hubs to phones, cameras, external drives and other Micro-USB devices. The six-foot length gives slack for desk or bedside use. RoHS compliance confirms restricted-substance limits.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive copper conductors carry both data and charging current without active electronics, so the cable produces no heat and no audible noise. USB 2.0 signalling runs at 480 Mbps, and the connectors deliver the standard five-volt bus power defined by the specification. No external supply is required.

Build fit and freedoms

The Type-A end fits any standard USB-A port on laptops, desktops, wall adapters or power banks. The Micro-B end mates with legacy phones, tablets, GPS units and hard-drive enclosures that still use that connector. Six feet of black PVC jacket routes behind monitors or under desks without pulling tight.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 6 ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro-B Male cable correctly?

Insert the Type A Male plug into the host USB port and the Micro Type B Male plug into the device port; the step often missed is aligning the Micro-B connector's narrow side before pushing it in fully.

Will the gold-plated contacts or PVC jacket need replacement after extended use?

The RoHS-compliant PVC jacket and moulded strain reliefs are built for the cable's lifetime; no user-serviceable parts or scheduled contact maintenance are required.

At what point does the 480 Mbps transfer rate become the bottleneck during sustained file copies?

The USB 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 480 Mbps, so any single large-file transfer exceeding that bandwidth will hit the cable's maximum signalling limit first.
