What this cable does

This Amazon Basics cable connects any USB-C device to a standard USB-A port for charging and data transfer. It is USB-IF certified and rated for 10 Gbps SuperSpeed+ performance. The male-to-male connectors are built with copper conductors and measure three feet long in black.

Build fit and freedoms

The cable plugs directly into laptops, tablets, smartphones or external drives without adapters or hubs. Backward compatibility with USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports means it works across older and newer hardware alike. It removes the need for separate charging and sync leads when travelling or at a desk.

Sustained-load behaviour

Fast charging is supported up to 15W at 5V/3A and the spec warns not to exceed that load. Power-delivery devices will charge at a limited rate compared with dedicated PD cables. Data throughput holds at the rated 10 Gbps during extended transfers rather than throttling after a short burst.
