UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB‑C 0.5m cable

This USB C to Micro B hard drive cable is built for linking modern laptops and tablets with older external drives and cameras, offering faster transfers and reliable charging for data-heavy workflows. It suits short connection runs where a compact, sturdy cable is preferable and supports quick sync and power delivery during backups.

Key Points

This cable from UGREEN brings a compact 0.5 metre length that reduces desk clutter while keeping connections secure. UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C is designed with reinforced connectors and a PVC jacket that, according to the manufacturer, withstands over 10 000 insertions and 10 000 bends, which helps when you plug and unplug frequently. The cable supports charging up to 5V/3A and high-speed file transfers, useful for moving large photo libraries or transferring multi-gigabyte video files between an external HDD and a MacBook or Windows laptop. A practical note, check that your device uses a Micro USB 3.0 (Micro B) port rather than a standard Micro USB connector before connecting, to avoid mismatch.

Usage Recommendations

For straightforward backups and data migration, connect the USB Type-C end to a laptop or tablet and the Micro B end to an external hard drive case or compatible camera. The short 0.5 metre length keeps the drive close to your host device, which is helpful on crowded desks or in laptop bags. When transferring large archives, allow time for the drive to finish background operations and avoid unplugging during active writes to reduce the risk of file corruption. 💾

This cable pairs well with MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models that lack legacy USB ports, and with modern Windows ultrabooks and tablets that offer USB-C. It is also compatible with many Micro USB 3.0 devices from brands such as WD, Seagate and Toshiba, and with certain camera models that use the Micro B interface. For mobile phones, ensure the handset specifically uses a Micro USB 3.0 receptacle, since many phones use a different connector type. 🔌
