USB cable MediaRange MRCS240 — USB A to Micro-USB B, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), 1.8 m, black

MediaRange MRCS240 is a 1.8 m USB A to Micro‑USB B cable designed for data transfer and device charging. The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and features gold‑plated contacts to improve conductivity. Its 1.8 metre length and robust construction make it suitable for connecting compatible smartphones, tablets, cameras, external drives and other peripherals to computers, chargers and hubs.

Advantages

The cable combines high-speed data transfer and charging capability in a single lead with Plug & Play compatibility, requiring no additional drivers. Gold‑plated contacts reduce contact resistance and improve signal reliability, while the 1.8 m length offers flexibility for desktop and mobile use. The design focuses on a stable physical connection and straightforward compatibility with common operating systems.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files between external drives and computers
• Connecting cameras and mobile devices to a PC for backup or file access
• Charging and syncing compatible smartphones and tablets
• Connecting Micro‑USB peripherals such as some audio devices, GPS units and older accessories

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Connector A: USB Type‑A, straight male
• Connector B: Micro‑USB B, straight male
• Interface standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), up to 5 Gbit/s
• Contacts: gold‑plated
• Color: black
• Functionality: data transfer and device charging (up to typical USB power levels for this connector type)

How to use

Connect the USB Type‑A plug to a host device such as a computer, charger or USB hub and insert the Micro‑USB B plug into the target device. The cable supports plug-and-play operation on standard platforms; data transfers and charging commence once physical connections are made. For optimal data speeds, ensure the host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen 1 or compatible high-speed USB ports.

Recommendations

Use the cable for regular data backup and charging tasks; avoid bending the connectors sharply and keep the cable away from heat sources to prolong service life. For maximum transfer rates, connect both ends to USB 3.2 Gen 1 capable ports. If your device requires higher charging current than this connector type typically supports, use a dedicated charging cable or adapter rated for the required power.
