Two-Cable Pack for Everyday Charging

This twin pack supplies two black USB-A to USB-C cables, each three feet long, for charging phones, headphones and other USB-C devices from standard USB-A ports. The braided nylon jacket resists fraying and the reinforced joints are rated for extended bend cycles. Rated at 480 Mbps, they handle USB 2.0 data sync as well as power delivery up to 15 W. The set suits households or bags where multiple cables are handy.

Replaces Worn or Short Factory Leads

These cables replace damaged originals or short stock cords that limit where you can use a device while charging. The three-foot length reaches a nightstand or desk outlet without excess slack. The jump is worth it when your current cable shows exposed wires, charges intermittently or cannot sustain 3 A current for Quick Charge handsets. They do not support Power Delivery, so they will not fast-charge laptops or devices that require USB-C to USB-C negotiation.

Plug In and Go With No Drivers

Installation is straightforward: connect the USB-A end to a charger, hub or computer port and the USB-C end to the device. No software or configuration is required. The most common issue is attempting to use them with hardware that demands Power Delivery or USB 3.x speeds; in those cases charging falls back to basic rates and data tops out at 480 Mbps. Ensure the host port can supply 3 A if you expect Quick Charge performance.

Questions about this item

What connectors does this cable use for charging and data?

Each cable has a standard USB-A plug on one end and a USB-C plug on the other, using the USB 2.0 interface.

How do I connect this cable correctly to avoid slow charging?

Insert the USB-A end into a 5 V charger or computer port and the USB-C end into the device; do not use a Power Delivery charger as this cable does not support PD fast charging.

When should I replace one of these cables?

Replace a cable if the braided nylon sheath frays, the connectors become loose, or charging drops below the rated 15 W and 480 Mbps speeds.
