c-tech CB-USB2M-05B is a 0.5 m USB A to Micro‑USB cable in black designed for data transfer and charging of devices with Micro‑USB ports. Its compact length makes it suitable for portable use and for connecting devices to nearby chargers or computers. The cable features molded strain reliefs and sturdy connectors to withstand daily plugging and unplugging while minimizing wear at connection points.

Advantages

The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and improves portability, making it convenient for travel or use at crowded desks. Durable connector housings and molded strain reliefs increase longevity and reduce the risk of fraying. The USB A to Micro‑USB configuration ensures broad compatibility with many older smartphones, tablets, power banks and accessories. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance that resists visible dirt.

Suitable for

• Charging smartphones and tablets with Micro‑USB ports

How to use

Insert the USB A plug into a computer USB port, wall charger, car charger or power bank, and connect the Micro‑USB plug to the device you wish to charge or sync. Ensure connectors are aligned before inserting to avoid bending pins. For data transfer, wait for the host device to recognize the connected device and follow any on-screen prompts to allow file access. Disconnect by pulling the connector housing rather than the cable to preserve the strain relief.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance connections to reduce excess slack and avoid kinks. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme heat or sharp bends, and store it coiled loosely to extend its service life. If you require faster charging or USB‑C compatibility, consider cables with appropriate connectors and power ratings.
