Crestron CBL-USB-A-BMICRO-6 – USB-A to Micro-B Cable, 6 ft

Product Overview

The Crestron CBL-USB-A-BMICRO-6 is a 6-foot (1.83 m) USB cable with a USB Type-A male connector on one end and a USB Micro-B male connector on the other. It is a factory-made cable accessory for Crestron products that use Micro-B USB ports for programming, configuration, or data transfer, providing a reliable, known-good cable for use during commissioning and service of Crestron devices in the field.

Product Description

Many Crestron control processors, touch panels, and interface devices include a USB Micro-B port for direct PC connection during programming and firmware updates. The CBL-USB-A-BMICRO-6 provides a convenient, Crestron-supplied cable for these connections, eliminating the need to source a compatible third-party cable on-site. At 6 feet (1.83 m), the cable length is sufficient to reach from a laptop or programming workstation to a rack-mounted or wall-mounted Crestron device without leaving excess slack. The standard USB 2.0 protocol supports the data transfer rates required for Crestron programming tools such as Crestron Toolbox.

FAQs

Is this cable suitable for charging devices as well as data transfer?

The CBL-USB-A-BMICRO-6 supports USB 2.0 data transfer and standard USB bus power (up to 500 mA at 5V). It can charge USB Micro-B devices at standard USB charging rates, though it is primarily specified as a programming and data cable for Crestron devices.

Which Crestron products use a USB Micro-B port?

A number of Crestron processors, touch panels, and interface modules use USB Micro-B for direct PC connection. Check the specific device’s documentation to confirm the USB port type before ordering. Some newer Crestron products have transitioned to USB-C ports.

Can I use a standard third-party USB A to Micro-B cable instead?

Standard third-party USB cables with the correct connector types will generally work for Crestron programming. The CBL-USB-A-BMICRO-6 is a Crestron-supplied option for integrators who prefer to stock manufacturer cables for consistency and traceability on job sites.
