Two cables for portable Micro-B 3.0 drives

This pack supplies one USB-C male to Micro-B 3.0 male cable and one USB-A male to Micro-B 3.0 male cable. Each lead is 15cm long and built with copper conductors. The short length keeps a portable SSD or hard disk close to a laptop without excess slack. Buyers needing to reach a desktop rear port from a desk will find the length too short.

Sustained 5 Gbps transfers on both connectors

When the host and the drive both support USB 3.0, the pair delivers up to 5 Gbps throughput, roughly ten times the USB 2.0 rate. The 15cm copper runs limit resistance, so the link holds the rated speed during extended file copies rather than throttling after a brief burst. Performance drops to USB 2.0 levels if either end negotiates only that standard.

Compact 15 cm cables with mixed host ends

Each cable weighs roughly .28 ounces and the pair fits in a 6.77 by 4.25 by .79 inch pack. The USB-C plug serves newer laptops and tablets while the USB-A plug works with legacy ports, removing the need for a separate adapter. Builders who require a locking Micro-B connector or a right-angled shell for tight drive bays will need a different cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 15cm length or copper construction cause noticeable heat when the cable runs at 5Gbps all day?

The short 15cm copper cables handle 5Gbps without generating noticeable heat during continuous use.

My laptop only has USB Type-A ports; can I still use the Type-C to Micro 3.0 cable in the pack?

You need a USB Type-C port for that cable; the pack includes a separate Type-A to Micro 3.0 cable for Type-A hosts.

Will these cables work with my older USB 2.0 Micro-B portable drive?

They are built for Micro USB 3.0 B devices and will not fit a USB 2.0 Micro-B port.
