InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Micro B male, black, 2m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Micro B male InLine 35420 is a 2-meter black data cable designed for high-speed connections between host devices and peripherals that use a Micro-USB B interface. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer rates for rapid file exchange and backup tasks, while gold-plated contacts provide improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The cable’s standard Type A plug fits most computers, chargers and hubs, and the Micro-B plug is compatible with many external hard drives, docking stations and legacy mobile devices.

Advantages

The cable delivers fast data transfer performance typical of USB 3.2 Gen 1, enabling quicker synchronization and large-file transfers compared with USB 2.0. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and help maintain signal integrity over time. With a 2 m length and a flexible black jacket, the cable offers convenient reach and cable management for desktop and entertainment setups. The common Type A to Micro-B configuration ensures broad compatibility with a variety of existing devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to a computer
• Transferring large media files, backups and archives
• Linking legacy smartphones, cameras and GPS units that use Micro-USB B
• Use with docking stations, card readers and other Micro-B peripherals

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB Type A (male)
• Connector 2: Micro-USB B (male)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Data standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Contacts: gold-plated for improved conductivity
• Colour: Black
• Design: flexible jacket suitable for desktop and mobile use

How to use

Insert the Type A plug into an available USB port on your computer, laptop, hub or charger. Align and insert the Micro-B plug into the peripheral device’s Micro-USB B receptacle until it seats firmly. For optimal performance ensure both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1; if one device supports only USB 2.0 the connection will operate at the lower speed. Avoid forcing connectors and route the cable to prevent sharp bends that could stress the wires.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term use, connect and disconnect the cable by gripping the connector housings rather than pulling on the cable. Keep the gold-plated contacts free of dust and debris; if needed, clean gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. When using with external drives, ensure the host system provides sufficient power or use externally powered enclosures to prevent data errors during large transfers.
