Technical Architecture & Functionality
The Newnex U3HLA01MCI series is a high-flex USB-A to Micro-B cable with screw locking, designed for motion-heavy systems where standard USB cables fail early and fail often. It uses a USB3 Vision standard screw-locking Micro-B connector to keep connections secure under vibration and continuous movement, making it a strong fit for machine vision, industrial cameras, and moving fixtures.
This series supports USB 3.x Gen 1 (5Gbps), includes shielding, and uses a durable TPE jacket with rugged overmolds to survive repetitive bending. It’s rated for 6,000,000 continuous flex cycles and includes bend-radius guidance for both static routing and dynamic motion.
Performance changes by length (important)
Both variants are 5Gbps, but travel distance and max power differ by length:
| Part Number | Cable Length | Max Travel Distance (at min bend radius) | Max Data Rate | Max Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| U3HLA01MCI-030 | 3m (9.8 ft) | 2m | 5Gbps | 5V / 3A |
| U3HLA01MCI-050 | 5m (16.4 ft) | 1m | 5Gbps | 5V / 1.5A |
What this means:
- Choose 3m when you need more travel and full 3A power.
- Choose 5m when you need the extra length, but accept shorter travel and lower max power.
Key Engineering Advantages
USB3 Vision Screw Locking
Secure Micro-B connection reduces disconnects in machine vision and motion environments.
Motion-Rated Variant Selection
Both are 5Gbps, but travel and power differ: 3m (2m travel, 3A) vs 5m (1m travel, 1.5A).
Built for Continuous Flexing
Designed for high flex life with a 6 million cycle continuous bending target and bend-radius guidance.
Industrial Construction
Shielding, durable TPE jacket, and rugged overmolds support harsh routing and repetitive motion.
Consistent 5Gbps Performance
USB 3.x Gen 1 5Gbps support for high-throughput Micro-B devices across both lengths.
