USB-C to USB 2.0 Type-A cable for peripherals

This 4XEM cable connects a USB-C host to USB 2.0 Type-A devices such as hard drive enclosures or phones. It supports plug-and-play operation with no driver installation required. The male-to-male connectors suit direct device-to-host links.

USB 2.0 interface limited to 480 Mbps

Data transfers peak at 480 Mbps as defined by the USB 2.0 standard. The cable is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 ports, though speeds will drop to match those older revisions. Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces crosstalk for cleaner signalling.

Check your host port and device connector

Verify the host side provides a USB-C port; the cable will not fit USB-A or Micro-B sockets. Confirm the peripheral uses a standard USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle. No power-delivery or alternate-mode functions are supported by this cable.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this cable for a USB 2.0 device or would a USB 3.0 cable be better?

This cable is built to the USB 2.0 standard and delivers up to 480 Mbps, matching the maximum speed of any USB 2.0 port. A USB 3.0 cable will not increase throughput on a USB 2.0 connection.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my computer?

The 480 Mbps figure is the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 signalling rate. Real-world throughput is lower due to protocol overhead, but the cable supports the full USB 2.0 bandwidth for hard-drive enclosures, phones and other peripherals.

Is the USB-C connector on this cable limited to USB 2.0 speeds, or can it handle faster standards?

The USB-C plug is wired for USB 2.0 only, so it caps at 480 Mbps even when connected to a USB 3.1 or USB 4 port. It is backwards compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices.
