Connect USB-C devices to USB-A ports

This cable links a USB-C device to a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port. It suits users connecting phones, hard-drive enclosures or other USB 2.0 peripherals to older laptops, desktops or chargers that only offer Type-A sockets. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers. The male-to-male design fits directly into both ports.

Shielded copper conductors reduce interference

A shielded twisted-pair construction with copper conductors limits crosstalk and supports data rates up to 480Mbps. The black PVC jacket protects the wiring during daily insertion and removal. Backwards compatibility with USB 1.0 and 1.1 ensures the cable works with legacy equipment. Two connectors are fitted, one at each end.

Verify your device uses USB 2.0 Type-C

Check that the USB-C port on your peripheral follows the USB 2.0 specification rather than a newer standard that demands higher bandwidth. The cable does not carry video or power-delivery negotiation beyond the base USB 2.0 profile. Confirm the host side provides a standard Type-A receptacle.

Questions about this item

Does this USB 2.0 cable reach the 480 Mbps rate in daily use?

It is rated for up to 480 Mbps and uses shielded twisted-pair copper conductors to keep signal loss low, so typical transfers hit that ceiling.

What physical clearance do the male USB-C and male USB-A plugs need?

Both ends are standard male connectors; allow enough depth for a full USB-C insertion and a full USB-A insertion on the host and device ports.

Is any driver required to make the cable work with a phone or hard-drive enclosure?

No driver is needed — the cable is plug-and-play for USB 2.0 peripherals including phones and drive enclosures.
