What this cable does

The C2G C2G28874 is a male-to-male cable with a USB C connector on one end and a USB A connector on the other. It links devices that use the newer USB C port to hosts or peripherals that still rely on the classic USB A interface. The six-inch length keeps the connection short and tidy for desktop or portable use.

Behaviour under sustained use

The short conductor run limits resistance and voltage drop, so the link remains stable during continuous data transfers or charging sessions. No active electronics are present in the assembly, meaning there is no firmware to throttle or overheat when the cable is used for long periods at the host controller’s rated speed and power.

Deciding specification

The connector pairing of USB C to USB A is the single detail that determines whether this cable fits the required ports. Buyers needing a USB C to USB C link or a USB A to USB A link will not be served by this model.
