USB-C to USB-A 12 ft cable

This 12-foot cable connects a USB-C host to a USB-A device using USB 2.0 signalling. The male-to-male design suits charging and data tasks for laptops, tablets and phones equipped with a Type-C port.

Suits legacy USB-A peripherals; not for faster links

Builders linking older USB-A drives, docks or accessories to modern Type-C ports will find the length and connector pairing convenient. Users who require USB 3.x or Thunderbolt bandwidth, or who need a shorter run for tidy cable management, should choose a different cable.

USB 2.0 speed rating decides fit

The cable operates at USB 2.0 rates, so it handles basic sync and charge duties but cannot deliver the throughput of higher-speed standards. Match the specification to the port capabilities of the connected devices before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the USB 2.0 interface on this 28873 cable support?

The cable is built to the USB 2.0 specification, so its practical throughput is capped at the standard's maximum signalling rate.

What physical clearance is required for the USB-C and USB-A connectors on this 3.65 m cable?

Each end uses a standard male Type-C and male Type-A plug; allow enough depth for the connector bodies plus strain relief behind the port.

How is the 12 ft C2G 28873 cable installed, and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB-C end into the host or device and the USB-A end into the peripheral; the common oversight is not fully seating the reversible Type-C plug until it clicks.
