Short cable for portable charging

This two-pack supplies 0.5 ft USB A to USB C cables built for charging phones, tablets or stylus pens from a power bank. The 15 cm length prevents tangles in a bag or pocket. Gold-plated connectors and an aluminum shell resist wear through 10000-plus bend cycles. Rated for 3 A output with a 56 kΩ resistor for safe power delivery.

Fits tight spaces beside power banks

The short tail keeps the connection close to the source so it does not snag on other gear. USB 2.0 data runs at 480 Mbps for syncing small files, though the maker advises against large hard-drive transfers. Compatible with MacBook Air, Chromebook Pixel, Galaxy S20 and S21 series, iPad Pro 2018 and 2020, and similar USB-C devices.

Low heat from modest power draw

At three amps the cable stays cool during typical phone charging sessions. The cotton braided jacket adds no active cooling but does not trap heat either. No fan or extra power adapter is involved, so noise is zero and the only draw comes from the connected charger.

Questions about this item

Will the 480 Mbps data rate hold up during long transfers?

The cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps, but the supplier notes it is not recommended for large file transfers to hard drives.

Does the braided jacket stay cool and quiet when charging at 3 A all day?

Passive cables produce no noise and the cotton braided jacket does not generate heat; only the charger and device determine temperature.

What port must my charger or power bank already have for this cable to work?

You need a standard USB A port on the charger or power bank to plug the cable's USB A connector into.
