Product Description

USB 2.0 Type-A Male to Micro Type-B Cable
USB 2.0 Type-A Male to Micro Type-B Cable


AmazonBasics header

USB 2.0 Type-A Male to
Micro Type-B Cable
(6 Feet / 1.8 m)

  • Durable, gold-plated connectors

  • Backward-compatible

  • Full 2.0 USB capability/480 Mbps transfer speed

LEARN MORE

USB Version Numbers: There are different 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 that 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) all have 3.0 then you will have 3.0 speed.

AmazonBasics bottom

The AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B Cable with Gold-Plated Connectors gives you full performance with many USB devices.

The leader for strong connections

Because USB 2.0 is widely used in connecting devices, such as external hard drives, printers, digital-photography devices and more, this USB 2.0 cable helps you maximise the performance for your peripherals. For devices with an older USB version, this cable is backward-compatible, so you can still make the connection.

What it connects

This cable features a standard Type-A USB connector on one end and a Micro Type-B connector on the other. This means that you can plug the Type-A connector in to your computer, then plug the Micro Type-B connector in to a device with a Micro Type-B port. Devices like mobile phones, smartphones, MP3 players, tablets, digital cameras and digital camcorders often have Micro Type-B ports.

Solid, durable

Sturdy, with gold-plated connectors, this USB 2.0 cable is built for connecting and disconnecting over and over again without signal loss.

Frustration-Free Packaging

This AmazonBasics product features Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging that is recyclable. It comes without excess packaging materials, such as hard plastic clamshell casings, plastic bindings, or wire ties. The packaging is designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife, and it will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging. Products with Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging can frequently be shipped in their own boxes, without an additional shipping box, saving on resources and reducing waste. In addition, the packaging materials that we do use are easily and frequently recycled, composted or reused by our customers, and all the inks and dyes are biodegradable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic but brilliant 26 Oct 2011
This is a cable that belies its very reasonable price. It is a good thickness and well shielded and has gold plated connections to resist corrosion. It is also of a decent length. It's connectors are nicely designed ergonomic wise.

Best of all it works faultlessly and promises a good working life due to its robust construction.

For �3.99 and free delivery a brilliant buy.

This could've been a great cable. It plug well into my phone and it has a nice thickness to it. The extra length is also a great feature. But between 500 and 750 mah disappear from start to finish of the cable. Might be good to connect to the PC but recharging anything sucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy long micro USB cable 20 Oct 2011
By Stefan
A cable is a cable, right? Wrong. This is a great cable. It's long, slightly over 1m80 and has the nice gold plated connectors. The micro USB connector is strong and 'clicks' nicely on your micro USB devices.
I can see this cable living a long life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for charging smart phone 6 Aug 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
Unfortunately I did not read other comments about this Amazon basics USB cable. When I tried to charge my Blackberry Z10 using Blackberry charger and this USB cable, there is a warning on the Blackberry Z10 that this cable is not able to deliver the normal charge. Amazon really should not sell this product as it is not fit for the purpose.

I find it annoying that many portable hard drives, DVD writers etc are often provided with data/power leads that are rarely longer than 45cm or 18 inches. This often requires that the device is located in a position that is often inconvenient. A longer lead, a metre would be perfect if available, allows more positioning options and possibly one considerably more convenient.

As many mobile phones, MP3 players and the like are similarly provided with short cables using the same connector, this can serve several devices, both for data transfer and also when charging.

A useful item, not over-expensive and of apparent good quality. It works and that is about all you can ask of it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what I need. 12 Jan 2013
By Kay VINE VOICE
I wanted a long cable as the one with my Samsung Galaxy S3 was far too short (and my proper - as in not a USB put in a plug - S2 charger barely charged it) I like to be able to mess around on my phone while it's charging but more importantly I use both Netflix & SkyGo and given they're both such battery drainers it was a pain having to stop the film/programme I was watching which I charged the battery up some.

I had intended just to buy a cheap USB cable but there were reviews stating that while they were fine for transferring data they wasn't powerful enough to charge a smart phone. Despite never owning any of Amazon's electronics and the quite high price for what is just a USB I decided to give it a go. In Amazon's defence though I am so used to paying, well nothing, for microUSB's as we have hundreds floating around the house that it could just be me.

The cable itself is very thick which I like as it doesn't get knotted and tangled in my bag the same way thinner ones do and it is plenty long. It charges my phone up in around the same time the cable that came with Samsung did which was a plus as I would've accepted and been happy with (slightly) longer charging time for the length of it.

I'm thinking of buying another one; one for charging at home and the other for the charger I carry around in my bag (as typically if I take it out to use at home, I then forget it and I am left charger-less while out and about!)

Some people have commented they don't last but frankly, if I get 3-6 months out of it then I will be quite happy. I am the mobile-phone-attached-to-your-hands-or-ear generation and I charge my S3 twice a day so it gets plenty of use. Possibly I have low expectations but I'm also of the generation where things are no longer built to last!

3.0 out of 5 stars Long cable... 4 Sep 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
This does exactly what I wanted, it's nice and long so I can connect my Samsung s3 up at night. However, it must have a higher resistance than my Samsung charger, as my phone takes a lot longer to charge. It's ok as I'm charging over night..
