2. Setup Instructions
2.1 Connecting the Cable
Follow these steps to properly connect your MANHATTAN SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable:
- Identify the USB 3.0 A-Male connector (typically rectangular with a blue interior) on one end of the cable.
- Identify the USB 3.0 Micro B-Male connector (a smaller, trapezoidal connector with a blue interior) on the other end.
- Insert the USB 3.0 A-Male connector into an available USB 3.0 port on your computer, laptop, or USB hub. Ensure the port is also USB 3.0 compatible for optimal performance.
- Insert the USB 3.0 Micro B-Male connector into the corresponding Micro B port on your SuperSpeed USB device (e.g., external hard drive, camera).
- Ensure both connections are firm and secure.

3. Operation
3.1 Data Transfer
Once connected, the cable facilitates high-speed data transfer between your computer/hub and the connected device. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 allows for bi-directional data transfer at speeds up to 5 Gbps, enabling quick synchronization and backup of large files. The actual transfer speed may vary depending on the capabilities of the connected devices and the system's overall performance.
3.2 Power Delivery
In addition to data transfer, the cable also provides power to compatible devices. This allows you to charge or power your Micro B-enabled device directly from the USB 3.0 port of your computer or hub, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter for some devices.
4. Care and Maintenance
- Handling: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal wiring and shielding.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cable and connectors. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Connection/Disconnection: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
