This USB 2.0 A to Micro-B cable features a Universal / Reversible ""A"" connector, which takes the guesswork out of which way to position the ""A"" connector for plugging. Smaller and more durable (10,000 insertion cycles) than the existing mini-B connectors, the Micro-USB will also handle power transfers, as well as data. USB 2.0 rated cable handles 480 Mbps data transfer rates.
