InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Micro B male, black, 3m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Micro B male InLine 35430 is a 3-metre black data and charging cable designed for connections between computers and compatible devices such as external hard drives, portable SSDs, smartphones and other Micro‑USB B peripherals. The cable features gold-plated contacts on both connectors for reliable conductivity and is specified to support USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer speeds while also handling charging functions. Its extended length provides greater flexibility when placing devices away from the host computer.

Advantages

This USB 3.2 Gen.1 cable combines backward compatibility with USB 2.0 devices and improved data throughput consistent with USB 3.2 Gen 1. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and help maintain signal integrity. The 3 m length reduces the need to keep devices close to the host and the black jacket offers a neutral, low-profile appearance suitable for office and home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives or portable SSDs to a desktop or laptop computer
• Transferring large files and backups between devices compatible with Micro‑USB B
• Charging and syncing older smartphones, tablets or accessories that use Micro‑USB B
• Use in home offices or workstations where longer cable reach is required

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB Type A (male)
• Connector 2: Micro‑USB B (male)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Colour: Black
• Supported interface: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0)

How to use

Connect the USB Type A male end to an available USB port on your computer or charger, and plug the Micro‑USB B male connector into the target device. Ensure connectors are correctly aligned before inserting to avoid damaging the plug or socket. For high-speed data transfer, use host ports and device ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1; when connected to USB 2.0 ports the cable will operate at the lower supported speed. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and route the cable to prevent strain on device ports.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect both ends firmly, use ports rated for USB 3.2 Gen 1 when transferring large files, and avoid coiling the cable tightly during operation. Store the cable in a dry environment and keep contacts free of dust to maintain reliable connections over time.
