USB 2.0 A to C Cable 2M 3A 480Mbps

This USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-C cable is 2 metres long and rated for up to 3A charging current. It delivers data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps and includes a 56k ohm pull-up resistor for safe charging. The PVC jacket withstands over 30000 bend cycles for durability.

Who This Suits And Who Should Look Elsewhere

It suits users charging phones, tablets or a Nintendo Switch from a standard USB-A port and syncing modest files at USB 2.0 speeds. It is not for buyers who need faster 5Gbps or 10Gbps transfers for large files or external hard drives.

Deciding Specification USB 2.0 480Mbps Data Rate

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 2.0 480Mbps data rate. If your workflow moves large backups or drive images, this speed will be a bottleneck; choose a 5Gbps or 10Gbps cable instead. For charging and light syncing it is adequate.

Questions about this item

Will the 56 kΩ pull-up resistor or the PVC jacket need replacement after heavy daily use?

The 56 kΩ pull-up resistor is built into the connector and does not wear out. The PVC jacket is rated for over 30 000 bend cycles, so it should last through years of normal plugging and unplugging.

What is the first limit I will hit when transferring large files continuously with this cable?

The USB 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 480 Mbps (about 60 MB/s), so transfer speed will be the bottleneck long before the 3 A charging capability is reached.

Does the cable or its connectors get noticeably warm when charging at 3 A for hours?

The 56 kΩ pull-up resistor and 3 A rating are designed for safe continuous charging; the PVC jacket remains flexible and the connectors stay within normal operating temperature during extended use.
