Do not exceed the recommended 15 W load when powering devices.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft black cable come with anything else or do I need a separate power adapter?

The box contains only the 3 ft USB-C to USB-A 2.0 cable; a USB-A power adapter or host port must be supplied separately.

The listing mentions USB 2.0 and 480 Mbps — are there other speed or length versions of this Amazon Basics cable?

This specific model is the 3 ft USB 2.0 version rated at 480 Mbps; other lengths or USB 3.x variants are different SKUs not covered here.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I plug the cable into a laptop and phone?

It caps data transfers at USB 2.0 speeds — fine for photos and music, but large video files will move noticeably slower than on a USB 3.x link.
