Hama 173892 USB cable USB 2.0 0.15 m Micro-USB B USB A Black

The Hama 173892 USB cable is a compact 0.15 m connection lead with a Micro-USB B plug on one end and a USB A plug on the other. Designed for USB 2.0 interfaces, it supports data transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s. The cable is magnetically shielded to reduce interference and features gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. Its short length and black finish make it suitable for close-proximity device connections and portable setups.

Advantages

The cable’s 0.15 m length minimizes excess cable clutter when connecting mobile devices to chargers, power banks or computers. Magnetic shielding helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electromagnetic interference, while gold-plated contacts offer stable contact and enhanced durability. The combination of Micro-USB B and USB A connectors provides broad compatibility with many older smartphones, peripherals and accessories that use the USB 2.0 standard.

Suitable for

• Connecting Micro-USB B devices (phones, MP3 players, certain cameras) to USB A ports on chargers or computers
• Use with power banks and car chargers where a short cable is preferred
• Data transfer and charging in constrained or portable setups

Key specifications

• Connector 1: Micro-USB B
• Connector 2: USB A
• USB version: USB 2.0, up to 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 0.15 m
• Product colour: Black
• Magnetic shielding for reduced interference
• Gold-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance and contact reliability

How to use

Insert the Micro-USB B connector into the device’s Micro-USB port and plug the USB A connector into a computer, wall charger or power bank USB port. For data transfer, ensure the connected device is set to the appropriate mode (e.g., MTP or File Transfer) and confirm the host recognizes the device. For charging, verify the power source provides compatible output; cable length does not affect charging protocols but may influence convenience in tight spaces.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-range connections where minimal slack is desired. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and disconnect by holding the plugs rather than pulling the cable to prolong service life. If connecting devices in environments with high electromagnetic interference, the magnetic shielding helps maintain reliable data transfer within USB 2.0 limits.
