It carries USB 3.0 \/ 3.1 \/ 3.2 Gen 1 data at up to 5 Gb\/s between a USB-A host and a compatible Micro-USB device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe high-speed data path runs over optical fiber, while two copper conductors handle USB bus power. Built-in over-current protection is provided on the power side, and the connector assemblies use all-metal housings.

That separation keeps the cable practical for peripherals that still need power from the host connection rather than from a separate supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe endpoint layout is straightforward as well.
