This 0.75 m USB 3.0 cable connects a computer or compatible USB-A device to equipment with a USB 3.0 Micro-B port. It suits anyone replacing a lost or damaged external drive cable, or connecting compatible equipment across a short desk distance.

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 supports data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps, subject to the connected hardware. The cable also works with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 equipment, making it useful with older compatible devices. Its shielded and braided construction includes a drain wire, with gold contacts and a 5.0 mm overall cable diameter.

Compatibility

Connect the Type-A plug to a USB-A port and the Micro-B plug to a matching USB 3.0 Micro-B socket, commonly found on compatible external storage devices. Check the device socket before ordering: Micro-B and standard Micro-USB connectors are different shapes. The cable supports data connectivity; no charging performance is specified. Good to know: this is a USB-A to Micro-B cable, so it will not connect directly to devices with USB-C or full-size USB-B ports.
