StarTech.com 0.5m Micro USB Cable - A to Micro B

The StarTech.com 0.5m Micro USB Cable - A to Micro B is a compact USB 2.0 cable for connecting a device with a Micro-B port to a device or power source with a standard USB-A port. Its 50 cm (0.5 m) length provides a short connection suited to nearby equipment, helping keep a desktop, charging area, or travel setup tidy.

USB-A to Micro-B connection

The cable has a USB-A male connector on one end and a Micro-B male connector on the other. This arrangement supports a direct connection between a compatible USB-A host or charger and a device equipped with a Micro-USB Type-B port. It is intended for devices that use this connector type; it is not a USB-C cable.

USB 2.0 data transfer

Designed for the USB 2.0 standard, the cable supports data transfer at speeds of up to 480 Mbit/s, subject to the capabilities of the connected devices and their USB ports. It can be used to connect compatible devices for data synchronization or file transfer, as well as for other standard USB connections.

Charging and synchronization

The StarTech.com cable can serve as a charging and data cable when used with compatible equipment. Connect its USB-A end to an appropriate USB port or power source and its Micro-B end to a device with a matching port. Charging performance depends on the power source and the connected device; the cable’s connector type alone does not determine charging speed.

Compact 50 cm length

At 0.5 m (50 cm), the cable is designed for short-distance connections. Its compact length can reduce excess cable around closely positioned devices, such as a phone beside a computer or a peripheral connected to a nearby USB port. It may be less suitable when the connected equipment needs to be placed farther apart.

Product identification

The product is identified by the model number UUSBHAUB50CM. It is also described as a USB 2.0 A-to-Micro-B male-to-male cable, with a black finish. These specifications identify its connector layout, interface standard, and length.

Compatibility considerations

Before connecting the cable, check that one device has a standard USB-A port and the other has a Micro-B port. The cable’s Micro-B connector is designed for matching Micro-USB Type-B sockets and should not be confused with Mini-USB, USB-C, or other connector formats. The USB 2.0 connection can operate only within the capabilities supported by the devices and ports in use.
