USB data cable EATON MTC-530 – USB-C to micro-B, 5 m, blue

EATON MTC-530 is a 5-meter USB data cable with a USB-C connector on one end and a micro‑B connector on the other, designed for extended reach when transferring data or charging devices. The blue jacket makes the cable easy to identify and manage in mixed-connection environments. It is intended for use where a longer cable run is required without compromising basic data connectivity and power delivery for compatible devices.

Advantages

The cable provides a long 5 m length that reduces the need to place devices near power outlets or hosts, improving flexibility of setup. The combination of a USB-C plug and a micro‑B plug supports connection between modern hosts and legacy or specialized peripherals. The blue outer jacket increases visibility among other cables and helps with quick identification. The cable construction supports routine data transfer and device charging in home, office, or workshop settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones and tablets with micro‑B ports to hosts or chargers with USB-C output
• Linking external hard drives or card readers with micro‑B connectors to compatible hosts
• Temporary or permanent cable runs where 5 m length is required
• Workshop, office or home environments that benefit from color-coded cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector A: USB Type-C (male)
• Connector B: USB micro‑B (male)
• Cable colour: blue
• Intended functions: data transfer and device charging

How to use

Insert the USB-C plug into a compatible host, power adapter or hub and the micro‑B plug into the target device. Ensure both devices support the intended function (data transfer or charging) before initiating large file transfers or power delivery. Route the 5 m cable to avoid sharp bends or pinching and secure it with cable ties if necessary to prevent strain on connectors. Disconnect by pulling the connector housings rather than the cable to reduce wear.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its intended purpose: routine data synchronization and charging of devices with micro‑B ports. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat, moisture, or mechanical stress. If transferring large volumes of data, confirm host and device interfaces support the desired transfer rates; for faster data needs consider interfaces and cables rated for higher USB specifications.
