    Product Description

    Tripp Lites 3ft, USB-A to Micro-B SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable brings significant performance enhancements to the ubiquitous USB standard, while remaining compatible with the billions of USB enabled devices currently deployed in the market. SuperSpeed USB will deliver 10x the data transfer rate of Hi-Speed USB, up to 5Gbps, as well as improved power efficiency. USB 3.0 utilizes a bi-directional data interface rather than USB 2.0's half-duplex arrangement, where data can only flow in one direction at a time, giving a ten-fold increase in theoretical bandwidth..

    From the Manufacturer

    Don't settle for inferior workmanship or performance! This Tripp Lite USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Device Cable assures that you get maximum performance from USB devices over long distances. Unlike cut-price cables, the U326-003 is manufactured to exacting specifications, using superior materials, to deliver full USB 3.0 performance for multimedia and other high-end applications. And we back our pledge of quality with a lifetime product warranty.

    Feature Focus

    Don't Accept Imitators�Look for Genuine Tripp Lite Packaging!

    Accept no substitutes! To ensure that the Tripp Lite cable you purchase will deliver the superior performance you expect, purchase it directly through Amazon.com. Your cable will be shipped to you in its original Tripp Lite packaging (poly bag with Tripp Lite logo; see photo). This is your assurance that the cable you purchased is a genuine Tripp Lite product. And if you don't see this packaging, it's not a genuine Tripp Lite cable!

It supports faster data transfer rates (5 Gbps), and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 for both low-speed and high-speed devices.

    Optimized Power Efficiency

    USB 3.0 SuperSpeed uses 1/3 of the power of USB 2.0 to transfer the same amount of data. Conversely, during charging applications, the U326-003 delivers twice the power of USB 2.0 for faster device charging. The U326-003 has lower active and idle power requirements, and does not require device polling.

    Backward Compatible with USB 2.0

    Harness all of the strength of USB 3.0 technology without sacrificing compatibility. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, making it an ideal and versatile solution for any USB application, as well as allowing for growth.

Premium double-shielding cables with tinned copper braid and aluminum Mylar foil minimize signal interference. Molded connectors and integral strain relief assure durability and long cable life. A flexible PVC jacket makes the U326-003 easy to install, even in tight corners and other areas where space is restricted.

    Lifetime Product Warranty

    When you choose this genuine Tripp Lite cable, you get superior performance plus peace of mind! We're so confident of the quality of the U326-003 that we warrant it to be free from defects in material and workmanship�for life!

    5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY FROM NON-AMAZON SELLERS, YOU'LL PROB GET A GENERIC KNOCK-OFF

    ****My star rating is based on Tripp Lite reputation and my experiences with their products. Since I never actually recieved a TL U326-006 the rating doesn't actually reflect that particular cable. ***

    MY STORY:
    I ordered the item from Vostrostone (Fulfilled by Amazon). Sadly the item was NOT as described. Cable was a generic 6FT USB 3.0 cable IN a regular plastic bag with a taped label saying it was the name-brand I ordered (Tripp Lite). I can verify it is indeed not genuine because I ordered a different length of TL cable directly from Amazon and as expected it did arrive in the original OEM TL packaging bag. The design and color (of blue) is slightly different between the two cables. The really funny thing is that Amazon's product description warns you that unless it's shipped in a genuine TL bag it's not TL.
    So it's not a TL cable is it at least a 3.0 cable?
    I used CrystalDiskMark 3.0.1 to test the speed of the cable when compared to the 4FT Seagate OEM cable. Perhaps not the most scientific test for all parameters of a USB 3.0 but I gave it a shot. The results surprised me! The generic cable showed INCREASED performance on nearly all tests. I can also say the gauge/shielding of the generic cable appears to be 2x thicker than my OEM USB 3.0. If the cable holds up over time or performance decreases has yet to be seen, but at least the cable I received APPEARS to perform just as good if not better than the OEM USB 3.0 cable that came with my Seagate 3TB 3.5 external drive. I kept my cable and reported the descrepentcy in the seller's feedback. I then reported it to Amazon so that they know the seller is undercutting Amazon direct prices by shipping inferior products. Ultimately I had to keep the cable (for now) because I was in immediate need of it and it appears to be working. Given previous bad experience with generic cables I'll probably still end up ordering this again.. but next time it will ONLY be from Amazon.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great cable, unbeatable price
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2011
    Size: 6 feetVerified Purchase
    I purchased this cable because the portable hard drives that are USB 3.0 come with VERY short cables, and most of the USB 3.0 ports on modern desktops are in the back, making for an under-desk adventure each connect/disconnect. I saw another review on here about low transfer speeds, which doesn't apply to the cable and has everything to do with their computer and the type of media they were transferring and from what to what.

    The cable is plenty long for my purposes, and has a thickness to it that speaks for its quality. The only con I can think of is that the cable is blue and there are no other color options to have the cable be inconspicuous, although for some this may be a good thing so there's no confusion as to which cable is which.

    Love this cable overall, and will probably order another to keep at home so the one in the office can stay there.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cable! Dependable & Long.

    I bought a PCIe USB 3.0 card in order to connect my devices, since my motherboard at the time didn't come with USB 3.0 headers. I needed a longer cord to get it from the back of the computer to the top of the desk. This cord was perfect.

    I connected it, and the cord was thin enough that it didn't cause issues. I've had other 3.0 cords that are very stiff, and won't bend to fit your needs. This was just what I needed for my new setup. It connects perfectly, and using it I get the best speeds I can possibly get with an external USB 3.0 Hard drive. At spurts I get 110 MB/s on large file transfers. My average seems to be about 70-85 MB/s. Still VERY good for an external.

    Thanks to Amazon Prime, I got it in 2 Business days. My local store had a similar cable for $30. This was outrageous considering I found it here for $7-8 (including shipping).

    I don't know the issues that others have with it, but as an I.T. Professional this is the most perfect cable.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Probably worth five stars, pending longevity
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2013
    Size: 3 feetVerified Purchase
    I thought I'd reviewed this cable already, but found out I hadn't. They SOLVE the oft-cited complaint against WD Passport 1TB and 500GB drives: THESE cords, make the drives reliable.

    See: WD Passport 3.0 models have snickety cords. Sometimes the cords work, sometimes not. Sometimes the cords build up static, and then the computer cannot detect them, sometimes not. A lot has to do with whether the 'WD SES driver' is being used (yes, you need it, but sometimes Win XP or 7 think you don't). The static problem is solved by disconnecting and reconnecting, but who wants that hassle?

    Enter therefore, Tripp LIte 3.0 BLUE cords. Yeah, am sick of snaking black cords. If I had the time I'd go round to all my 25 machines and buy colored cords for all of them. For you can't really hide the dang things, can you. May as well get color, then.

    This BLUE one pairs nicely with my BLUE WD Ultra drives, which I got on Black Friday 2013. But hey, it also goes with my older RED and BLACK WD Passport 3.0's.

    It's longer than the WD cord as well; which matters a bunch, since WD Passports are also tempermental: you don't want to bump them much. So the heft of this heavier, longer cord a) keeps the WD unit more stable, less susceptible to bumping problems, and b) enables one to drape the cord better, so it doesn't 'stripe' your decor.

    A final note re 3.0 speeds: you can't get them unless your COMPUTER has a 3.0 port. No external 3.0 hub will work fully, unless it also is plugged into a 3.0 port. So expect 2.0 speeds, else.

    Very happy camper.
