USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable

The C2G 28831 is a male-to-male cable that links any standard USB-C device to a USB-A port for charging and data transfer. It measures three feet or .91 metres and carries USB IF certification for compliance. The reversible Type-C plug inserts either way up, removing the need to flip the connector. No driver installation is required for operation.

Sustained charging and transfer behaviour

The cable delivers a 3 A charging output capable of keeping a USB-C laptop, smartphone or tablet fully powered during use. At the same time it moves photos, music or other data at up to 5 Gbps without throttling back after a short burst. Plug-and-play operation means the link remains stable across extended sessions with no software overhead.

USB 3.0 interface practical limits

The connection tops out at the 5 Gbps signalling rate defined by the USB 3.0 standard, so larger file sets take proportionally longer than on faster interfaces. Power delivery is limited to the 3 A rating provided by this cable, ruling out higher-wattage charging profiles. Length is fixed at three feet, which restricts placement flexibility compared with longer cables.
