Connector Types and Use

This cable connects a USB Type-C host to a Micro-B 3.0 device such as an external hard drive, tablet or ultrabook. It is built for data transfer and charging in a single moulded assembly. The nickel-plated connectors with gold contacts resist corrosion over repeated insertion cycles. It is not suited for devices that require a Type-A or Type-C receptacle on the peripheral end.

Shielding and Power Delivery

The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference during normal file transfers and charging sessions. It delivers up to 3 A of current for fast charging of most mobile devices while maintaining signal integrity. The 3 ft length keeps voltage drop low for typical desk-side connections. No active cooling or external power is involved, so noise and thermal output are negligible.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

Under continuous load the cable supports data rates up to 640 MB/s, which is ten times the throughput of USB 2.0 links. The moulded strain relief and robust shielding maintain performance during long backup or sync operations without signal degradation. It meets RoHS and WEEE environmental standards and carries a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the USB-C end into my laptop without forcing it the wrong way?

Align the oval USB-C male connector with the port; it inserts either side up, so no force is needed.

Will the gold-plated contacts on the Micro-B end wear out and need cleaning?

Gold contact plating resists oxidation; occasional dry wiping is enough if debris appears.

At what point does the 5 Gbps link drop to a lower speed during long transfers?

The cable is rated for 640 MB/s sustained; thermal limits in the host or device usually throttle first.
