USB 2.0 cable ProXtend USB2AMB-0003 — Type A to Micro B, 1.5 m

ProXtend USB2AMB-0003 is a USB 2.0 cable that connects a standard Type A host port to a Micro B device plug. With a 1.5 m length, this cable supports data transfer and device charging for smartphones, external hard drives, cameras and other devices that use a Micro B connector. The construction is intended for everyday use, offering a balance between reach and manageability for both desktop and portable setups.

Advantages

The cable implements the USB 2.0 data protocol to provide reliable transfer speeds for file sync and peripheral communication, while also carrying power for device charging. Its 1.5 m length provides extra reach compared with very short cords, without excessive slack that can cause clutter. The standard Type A to Micro B connector pair ensures compatibility with a wide range of consumer electronics and accessories. The cable is suitable as a replacement or spare for existing Micro B devices and for connecting devices to computers, chargers or powered hubs.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones and tablets with Micro B ports to computers or chargers
• Attaching portable external hard drives and card readers to a host device
• Connecting digital cameras, GPS units and other Micro B peripherals for data transfer
• Replacing worn or lost USB Micro B cables for daily charging and syncing

Key specifications

• USB standard: USB 2.0 data protocol (up to 480 Mbps theoretical maximum)
• Connector A: Standard USB Type A (plug)
• Connector B: USB Micro B (plug)
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Functionality: Data transfer and power delivery for charging (dependent on host/charger output)
• Typical use: Desktop and portable device connectivity

How to use

Plug the USB Type A end into a host device such as a computer, laptop, USB charger or powered hub. Insert the Micro B connector into the Micro B port of the peripheral device, ensuring correct orientation before docking. Once connected, the devices should negotiate data and power according to the capabilities of the host and peripheral; use the cable for file transfers, device backups, firmware updates or charging as supported by the connected devices. Avoid forcing the connectors and ensure contacts remain dry and free of debris.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable with devices that support USB 2.0 or compatible ports and avoid subjecting the cable to sharp bends near the connectors. When transferring large files or performing backups, keep the connected devices on a stable surface and confirm the host provides sufficient power for charging external drives.
