  • Connection typeUSB A to USB A
  • Compact 0.5 ft length fits easily in a pocket or bag
  • 3 A output delivers fast charging for phones and accessories

Portable USB-A Link

This 0.5 ft USB-A to USB-A cable connects two standard-A ports for data transfer or power delivery. The 15 cm braided jacket resists tangling and survives over 10000 bend cycles. Gold-plated contacts and an aluminium alloy shell maintain signal integrity. It suits users who need a short, durable link between a host and a peripheral.

USB 2.0 Speed Ceiling

The cable operates at the USB 2.0 specification limit of 480 Mbps, which equals roughly 60 MB/s in practice. A built-in 56 kΩ resistor protects attached chargers and devices during negotiation. No faster signalling rate is possible over this connector pair. Buyers who need more bandwidth must choose a different interface standard.

3 A Current Rating

The assembly is rated for up to 3 A of continuous current, enabling quick-charge protocols on compatible hardware. This single figure decides whether the cable can power your specific device at its maximum rate. Equipment drawing more than 3 A requires a heavier-gauge alternative.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 0.5 ft or a longer CableCreation USB A to USB A cable?

The 0.5 ft (15 cm) length is designed for power-bank charging and tight spaces; choose a longer cable only if you need more reach between devices.

What does the 3 A rating mean when I plug this cable into my laptop or charger?

It allows up to 3 A of current for fast charging when both the charger and device support it, while the 56 kΩ resistor protects the port from excess draw.

The cable is listed at 480 Mbps — what speed will I actually see during file transfers?

Real-world throughput reaches USB 2.0 limits of about 60 MB/s, so large files move at that ceiling rather than the raw 480 Mbps signalling rate.
