Purpose & Audience

This short USB-A to USB-C cable links a computer, power bank or wall charger to USB-C phones, tablets or Bluetooth earphones. The .5 ft length makes it practical for tight desk spaces or portable battery packs.

Installation & Pitfalls

Plug the USB-A end into the host port and the USB-C end into the device; no drivers are required. The supplier notes that Android Auto needs the phone app installed and a compatible vehicle, and advises against using this cable for hard-drive bulk transfers because the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 link is slow for large files.

Fit & Alternatives

Suits users who need a compact 3 A charging and sync lead for mobile gear or a Nintendo Switch. Buyers who want faster data rates for external storage should choose a 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps cable instead.
