Dual-host adapter cable for Micro-USB 3.0 drives

This 60-centimetre cable provides a USB 3.1 Type-C connector and a USB 3.0 Type-A connector on the host side, both feeding a single Micro-USB 3.0 device port. It is designed for users who move an external disk between modern laptops with only Type-C ports and older PCs that still offer Type-A sockets.

Metallic finish with OTG-resistor protection

The metallic sheathing gives a durable feel for frequent plugging and unplugging. A 5.1k OTG resistor on the Type-C end marks it as a host-only interface, preventing accidental connection to another target device. Only one host connector can be active at a time, so the cable behaves like a simple switch rather than a hub.

Replaces carrying two separate host cables

Owners of Micro-USB 3.0 external drives no longer need a dedicated Type-C cable and a dedicated Type-A cable. The upgrade makes sense when a single drive must serve both a new ultraportable and a legacy workstation, and when the 60-centimetre reach fits the desk layout.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.1 Type-C host end deliver full 3.1 speed to a Micro USB 3.0 drive?

The USB 3.1 Type-C host connector is limited by the Micro USB 3.0 target interface, so the link runs at USB 3.0 rates.

What clearances does the 60 cm cable with dual host ends need?

Allow 60 cm between the host port and the Micro USB 3.0 device; both the Type-C and Type-A plugs must reach the same machine simultaneously.

How do I avoid the common mistake of plugging both hosts in at once?

Connect only one host end — either Type-C or Type-A — because the cable only operates with a single active host.
