ACT SB3029 USB 3.0 A plug - USB Micro B plug 1.00 m

The ACT USB 3.0 A male to USB micro B male cable (SB3029) is a 1.00 m black data cable designed for connecting devices that use a USB A port to devices with a Micro‑USB B port. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1/USB 3.0) with data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s, providing backward compatibility with earlier USB standards while maintaining reliable wired connections.

Advantages

This cable supports SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s and is fully compatible with USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 devices. With male USB A and male Micro‑USB B connectors it enables direct connections between computers, chargers, external drives and other peripherals that use Micro‑USB B. The 1 m length balances reach and cable management, and the black finish offers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSDs with Micro‑USB B ports to a computer
• Transferring data between a PC or laptop and devices with Micro‑USB B
• Charging or powering compatible peripherals that accept Micro‑USB B input

How to use

Connect the USB A male plug to a host device such as a computer, laptop or USB charger, and insert the Micro‑USB B male plug into the peripheral device (external drive, smartphone or other compatible equipment). Ensure connectors are aligned before insertion and avoid forcing the plugs. For optimal transfer speeds, connect both ends to devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1; if one device supports only an earlier USB version the connection will operate at the lower supported speed.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable with devices that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and avoid running the cable near strong electromagnetic sources. Store the cable coiled without sharp bends and disconnect by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling the cable.
