Description

Backups stop feeling like a chore once this cable is in your bag. Plug the USB-C end into your laptop, plug the Micro-B end into your drive, and files move at the speed your drive and port allow. Metal contacts and a clean matte black build make it a cable you can use every day.

10 Gbps USB 3.1 data cable: plug and play, no driver required

Solves
  • Connecting a USB 3.0 / Micro-B external hard drive to a USB-C laptop or tablet
  • Needing a driver installation for storage devices
  • Slow transfers from older cables

Plug in, skip the driver, and let your Micro-B drive keep pace

Your USB-C laptop and older Micro-B drive finally speak the same language. One cable, rated at 10 Gbps, and transfers start as soon as the drive appears in your file manager. No installer, no adapter hunt, no waiting.

Solid contacts built for daily plugging

  • Plug in, skip the driver

    Plug the USB-C end into your laptop and the Micro-B end into your drive. The packaging states no driver is required, so there is no installer to run and no restart to sit through before the first copy. The drive appears in your file manager and you can start moving files right away. If you keep a pouch on the desk, this cable fits in with the rest of your gear.

  • Metal contacts that hold up

    Both connectors carry polished silver metal contacts inside a matte black plastic body. The contacts take the load every time a plug goes in and out, so a clean metal face matters more than it looks on a product page. The jacket is rounded and flexible, which keeps the cable easy to coil and tuck into a bag.

  • Ten Gbps, clearly marked

    The SuperSpeed logo on the Micro-B head marks this cable as a USB 3.1 link rated at 10 Gbps. Your drive and your laptop port set the real transfer speed, so check the drive's rated spec and confirm the port supports USB 3.1. The cable will not hold back a fast drive.

Questions and answers

Will this cable work with my older USB 3.0 Micro-B hard drive?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, if your drive uses a Micro-B port. The Micro-B end is a USB 3.1 Micro-B plug and the cable is built for external drives with that connector. Check the port shape on your drive before you order, because a different connector will not seat.

Will my drive reach the full 10 Gbps?
w
Wanelo · seller

The cable is rated for 10 Gbps, but the slowest part of the chain sets the real speed. Your drive's own rated speed and your laptop port both count. A drive that tops out lower will not run faster on a better cable, so compare your results with the drive's spec sheet.

Does it need a driver on Windows or macOS?
w
Wanelo · seller

No driver is required, according to the packaging. Plug the cable in and the drive should appear in your file manager. If it does not show up, try another port on the laptop before you blame the cable.

Is it compatible with tablets that have USB-C?
w
Wanelo · seller

The compatibility graphic lists USB-C tablets and smartphones on the USB-C end, so a tablet with a USB-C port can reach a Micro-B drive. Confirm the tablet's port supports data transfer, since some ports only charge.

Is it worth paying more than a basic cable?
w
Wanelo · seller

A basic cable that caps speed or fails at the joint costs you hours on every backup. This one has metal contacts on both ends, a clean matte black build and a clear SuperSpeed marking, so you know exactly what you are buying. One cable covers the job without an adapter that adds another point of failure.
