Cable type and length

This is a six foot USB-C to USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 cable with male connectors on both ends. It supports data transfer up to 5 Gbps and power delivery up to 5V/3A. The jacket uses double braided nylon tested to withstand 2,000 bends at 95 degrees.

Who this suits and who it does not

The cable suits anyone charging or syncing a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop from a standard USB-A charger, power bank or port. It is not for buyers who need a USB-C to USB-C connection, or who require video output or alternate mode support from the same cable.

Deciding specification

The connector thickness measures 7.2 mm, so most protective cases must be removed before the plug seats fully. If your device stays in a rugged case while charging, this cable will not connect reliably.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB-C end to my phone without damaging the port?

The USB-C connector is 7.2 mm thick, so remove any phone or tablet case first to ensure a secure, straight insertion without forcing the plug.

How long will the braided nylon jacket last with daily bending?

The cable is tested to withstand 2,000 cycles of 95-degree bends, and the double-braided nylon construction resists fraying far longer than standard PVC sleeves.

What is the maximum data throughput I can expect during large file transfers?

The cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps, and it remains backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports if your device or hub is older.
