Vention USB 3.0 C Male to Micro-B Male 2A Cable 1M Black (CQABF)

The Vention CQABF is a 1-meter USB 3.0 cable that bridges a USB-C port on one end to a USB 3.0 Micro-B connector on the other, which is the connector type found on many external hard drives rather than the smaller Micro-B port used for older phone chargers. Because it follows the USB 3.0 specification, it moves data at up to 5Gbps, so it handles large backup jobs to drives from brands like Seagate, Toshiba, WD, and Samsung noticeably faster than a USB 2.0 cable would. It also carries 2A of current, meaning select connected devices can charge over the same cable while transferring data. Build-wise, double shielding from aluminum foil and metal braid over tinned copper conductors cuts down on interference, and a TPE jacket with a reinforced 11mm tail protects the cable at the point where it flexes most.

Key Features

• USB-C to USB 3.0 Micro-B connector, matching the port style used on many external hard drives
• Up to 5Gbps USB 3.0 transfer speed, for faster backups than a standard USB 2.0 cable
• 2A current rating for simultaneous charging on supported devices
• Double-shielded, tinned copper construction (aluminum foil + metal braid) that limits interference
• Reinforced 11mm tail and nickel-plated connectors, adding flex resistance and corrosion protection

Technical Specifications

Who This Cable Is Best Suited For

• Photographers and videographers backing up shoots, since 5Gbps transfer speeds move large RAW files and footage to external drives faster than USB 2.0
• Owners of USB 3.0 Micro-B external hard drives, who need a USB-C-compatible cable to connect that drive to a current laptop
• IT support teams doing routine drive backups, where a durable, shielded cable reduces the chance of transfer errors on larger jobs
