What this cable does

This two-pack of ESTONE PQ057 cables connects USB-A hosts to USB-C devices for data and charging. Each cable is 0.5 m long with a braided nylon jacket and metal connector shells. They suit anyone moving files between a desktop and a portable SSD or charging a phone from a standard USB-A port.

The spec that decides fit

Data runs at up to 10 Gbps (1250 MB/s) under the USB 3.2 Gen 2 label, and the cable carries 3 A at 20 V for 60 W QC 3.0 charging. A 56 kΩ pull-up resistor is built in for safe 5 V/3 A negotiation. Video output is not supported, so these cables cannot drive a monitor.

Installation notes

Plug the USB-A end into the host and the USB-C end into the device; no driver is required. The short 0.5 m length keeps desks tidy but may not reach rear ports on floor-standing towers. The 3 A current limit means devices needing 4.5 V/5 A or 5 V/4 A proprietary charging will fall back to slower rates.

Questions about this item

What real-world file-transfer speed can I expect from the 10 Gbps rating?

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps (1250 MB/s) so large photo libraries or video files move in seconds, limited only by the drive and host controller you connect.

Which USB standard does the USB-A plug actually run at, and what does that cap?

It runs at USB 3.2 Gen 2, capping data at 10 Gbps and power at 60 W (20 V / 3 A) with the built-in 56 kΩ resistor for safe negotiation.

How much clearance do the metal connectors need behind my laptop or hub?

Each end is a standard male USB-A and male USB-C plug; the braided jacket adds minimal bulk, so they fit typical port recesses without extra adapters.
