Micro USB 3.0 Cable, Micro-B SuperSpeed, 1.8 m

This is the SuperSpeed cable used by portable hard drives, docking stations and cameras that have the wide Micro-B 3.0 socket. It carries data at up to 5 Gbps — ten times what USB 2.0 allows — which makes a real difference when moving large files or backing up a drive.

It is backwards compatible, so it also works with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, just at the lower speed those ports support.
