What material protects the cable from wear during frequent handling?

The outer jacket is polyvinyl chloride which provides mechanical durability and resistance to abrasion in routine use.

It uses a USB Type A male at one end and a Micro USB Type B male at the other to establish a host-to-device link.

Is this cable suitable for high-speed USB3 equipment?

No, it implements USB2 signalling so it operates at USB2 bandwidth and is not compatible with USB3 transfer rates.
