ProXtend USB2AMB-005 is a USB 2.0 A to Micro-B cable measuring 5 ft (1.52 m). It provides wired USB 2.0 connectivity for data transfer and device charging between host devices with a standard USB-A port and peripherals using a Micro-B connector. The cable supports common USB 2.0 functions for syncing data and delivering power to smartphones, tablets, external hard drives and other Micro-B equipped devices while maintaining compatibility with older USB 2.0 hardware.

Advantages

The cable offers a straightforward A to Micro-B connection with a moderate 1.52 m length suitable for desktop and mobile setups. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates and charging, and its connector types make it compatible with many legacy and current devices that use Micro-B ports. The simple construction ensures plug-and-play operation without special drivers on standard host systems.

Suitable for

• Data syncing between computers and devices with Micro-B ports
• Charging smartphones, tablets and portable accessories that accept Micro-B power
• Connecting external hard drives, cameras and peripherals with Micro-B interface
• Replacing worn or lost USB A to Micro-B cables for everyday use

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type-A (male)
• Connector B: USB Micro-B (male)
• USB standard: USB 2.0
• Cable length: 5 ft / 1.52 m
• Core function: data transfer and device charging

How to use

Insert the USB Type-A plug into a host port such as a computer, laptop charger or USB hub, and connect the Micro-B plug to the target device. Once connected, the host and device will negotiate power and data roles according to USB 2.0 standards. Use the cable for file transfers, device syncing or charging; avoid forcing connectors and inspect ports for debris before connection. Disconnect by pulling the connector body rather than the cable jacket to reduce strain.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable with USB 2.0 compatible devices and avoid routing it across high-traffic areas to reduce wear. Keep connectors dry and clean, and replace the cable if insulation or connector fit shows visible damage. When higher transfer speeds or newer connector types are required, consider selecting a cable that matches the newer USB standards.
