What this cable connects

This USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-C cable carries up to 3 A for fast charging and moves data at 480 Mbps. The 1.2 m length suits desk or car use. A 56 kΩ pull-up resistor protects connected devices and chargers during every session. Cotton-braided construction and gold-plated ends survive over 10 000 bend cycles.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Phone, tablet, laptop and Nintendo Switch owners with a USB-C port gain reliable charging and USB 2.0 sync from a legacy Type-A charger or hub. Buyers who need USB 3.0 or higher throughput, or who require a Type-C host connector, should choose a different cable.

The spec that decides fit

Data tops out at 480 Mbps because the cable implements the USB 2.0 standard only. If your workflow demands 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps transfer rates, this part will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

How long is this cable?

The cable is 1.2 metres long, which is about four feet, and is the only length offered for this model.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I use the cable?

It supports USB 2.0 data speeds up to 480 Mbps, which equals roughly 60 MB per second, so file transfers and syncing will run at that rate.

What does the USB 2.0 interface cap in practice?

The USB 2.0 connection limits data to 480 Mbps and charging to 3 A, so you get standard USB 2.0 transfer speeds and up to 3 A power delivery.
