AmazonBasics 3.0 A-Male to Micro B USB Cable

Less power usage, faster output

This USB 3.0 cable is great for connecting an external hard drive and other devices requiring a 3.0 micro B connection.

USB 3.0 uses less power, but has increased power output - up to 4.8 Gbit/s. Compared with the USB 2.0 transmission speed, USB 3.0 is 10 times faster.

Compatible: New devices or old

You can use this cable for Mac or PC applications. It is also backwards compatible so you can use it for devices that are USB 2.0 or 1.1 compliant.

Solid, durable

Sturdy, with gold-plated connections, this USB 3.0 cable can be disconnected and reconnected time and time again without signal loss.

Details

Uses less power but has increased power output
10 times faster transfer rate than USB 2.0
Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices

USB Version Numbers

There are a number of different USB version numbers (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0). This indicates their transfer speed. The higher the version number, the faster they can work. However, to get the full power, the "host", the device and the cable must have the same version. If not, the lowest USB version in the chain will control the speed.

For example,if your computer has a 2.0 USB port, your cable is 3.0, and your phone is 3.0, you will achieve 2.0 speed. If all three (computer, cable and phone) have 3.0 then you will achieve 3.0 speed.

Amazing but not for everyday heavy use.

This cable failed at the one year mark, so why am I giving it 5 stars? I used this cable as my everyday cell phone charging cable, which should tell you that it took a lot of flexing and bending. As an engineering student, I was curious about what was inside. After the failure I performed a teardown to find the point of failure and determine how well the cable was made. Overall this cable was engineered ridiculously well. The point of failure was the negative power wire and it was due to excessive flexing. The heavy gauge tinned copper wire was 7-strand. I think a more finely stranded wire for the power wires would have increased its life. Everything was heavily shielded and all wire was stranded tinned copper. The power wires were a very large gauge (no smaller than 21g). All data lines were twisted pair in individually shielded pairs with a stranded line for reinforcement. The terminals had shielded covers that were soldered to the shielding braid from the cable. I could go on.
The point I'm trying to make is these are wonderful cables for a professional environment that should last forever providing there is minimal flexing in its daily use.

I have a 2TB WD My Passport Ultra external HDD which kept disconnecting on Windows 10. I tested the external HDD on Win8 and Win7 machines, still kept disconnecting. Luckily, I read on some websites that usually when an external HDD keeps disconnecting it's usually the cable that's not good enough. In my case, this happened to be true, the cable that came with my external HDD is TOO cheap and UNRELIABLE. I decided to try this cable and it worked. I don't care that it's too thick. It cheap, well made, and works, period. Hope I helped. Shame on you WESTERN DIGITAL, giving your customers crappy cables.

I ordered this cable because I couldn't tell for the life of me which of the supposed legit Samsung chargers weren't fake, because every single one had reviews saying they were fake and others saying they weren't, on the same product. Since I already had 2 ac adapters I certainly didn't need any more of those anyway. So when I saw the amazon brand version, I leaped at it because I trust them and figured returns wouldn't be a problem at least, if it sucked.

It is a bit thick and less pliable than Samsung's, but that's just a bonus for me because the reason I had gone through 2 chargers previously was because my cat likes to chew them. My last one had also got so loose that it would fall right out of my phone if I even looked at it wrong, and I often had to wiggle it to get it to maintain the connection. This one is in there nice and firm, so far I have no complaints. It's longer too, but I like that. I have a Galaxy S5, if it helps.

Where's the quality control?

27 February 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Size Name: 3 FeetUnit Count: 1Verified Purchase

It is not often I have to express my disappointment with a product I buy on Amazon; and it's even less often that I have to ding an Amazon Basics product. But here it is: these cables are junk. I cannot recommend them. I would give them 0 stars if I could.

Here's why: when my cable arrived, it would not work on a USB 3.0 port. I tried two different ports, but it did not matter: my computer would not recognize my portable hard drive. Since the drive worked perfectly with the cable that came with it, I knew the problem was with the Amazon Basics cable, and not the drive or the USB ports on my computer.

Oddly enough, the cable did work in a USB 2.0 port. But if I had wanted to buy a USB 2.0 cable, I would not have ordered this one.

Anyway, I contacted Amazon Customer Service, and, to their credit, they promptly shipped me a new cable, at no cost to me. Big thanks to them for addressing my problem so quickly.

Unfortunately, the replacement cable performed even worse than the first one: it would not work in either a USB 3.0 port or in USB 2.0 port. This buying experience was a complete waste of my time.

I then did what I should have done in the first place: I ordered three Monoprice Select Series USB 3.0 cables and each one of them worked perfectly.

To sum this sad story up: it is not worth your time to buy this product, at least not until Amazon address their quality control issues. Note to Amazon: I still have both cables, and will be happy to ship them back to you for failure analysis.

The first AmazonBasics USB cable I've tested that was any good.

8 November 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Size Name: 3 FeetUnit Count: 1Verified Purchase

Originally I thought the quality of this cable was great. It seemed nice and beefy and it felt like it was well made. Then I bought a USB cable tester. I plugged the tester into my Antec 2.1A charger, then tried various cables with my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, a large and very power hungry tablet. First I tried the Samsung branded cables that came with the tablet and with my phone. They registered 1.7 to 1.8 Amps. Close enough.

I tested several other AmazonBasics cables, a 9-foot USB 3 and two 3-foot USB 2 cables, and they were utter garbage, reading just 0.8 and 0.4 Amps. I was expecting this 3-foot USB 3 cable to be just as bad as the others.

I plugged it in to the tester and the tablet, and checked the reading. 1.50 Amps! Hey, this cable is actually decent! I'm pleasantly surprised!
