This slim, sturdy USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) cable, better known as a USB 3.0 cable, lets you position Micro-USB devices on your desk without the cable getting in the way. It's thinner and more flexible than standard cables, and features a right-angled Micro-USB connector that prevents awkward bends at the connection port. Now you can arrange your desk according to what works best for you, without worrying about the cable bending awkwardly or straining too much to make a connection. This durable, lightweight cable is roughly half the thickness of a regular USB 3.0 cable, giving you the flexibility and freedom to place your devices as needed, with minimal clutter. This versatile cable features a right-angled connector, which offers a more natural fit at the device connection point and helps prevent unnecessary strain and damage to the port. Plus, the short 0.5 m/1.5 ft. cable length makes this an excellent solution for close-range connections and portable applications such as connecting a portable hard drive to your laptop. Charge your mobile device in your car or sync with your laptop. As well as being ideal for connecting to your desktop devices, this cable provides the perfect solution for charging and syncing your USB 3.0 Micro B-equipped phones and tablets. The short cable design is just right for people on the move, for providing simple, tidy connections and it fits nicely inside your laptop or tablet carrying case.
