USB-C to USB 3.0 cable for legacy devices

This three-foot cable connects USB-C phones, tablets and laptops to standard USB-A ports. It includes a 56k ohm pull-up resistor to protect host ports during charging. The reversible USB-C plug inserts either way up. Compatibility covers Galaxy S8, S9, HTC 10, LG V20 and similar models from the listed device table.

Aramid reinforcement handles daily flexing

The cable jacket uses aramid fibre rated for a bend lifespan over five times higher than ordinary USB cables. Data transfers reach up to 5 Gbps when both ends support USB 3.0. Charging works with any phone charger, portable charger or multi-port USB charger, though MacBook, Nexus 5X, 6P and Nintendo Switch only receive limited charging speeds.

Plug in and go with no driver install

The USB-A end fits any standard port; the USB-C end clicks into supported devices without orientation fuss. Common issues arise when users expect full laptop charging on MacBook 2016, MacBook Pro 13.3 or 15.4 models, which the cable cannot deliver. Buyers who need Power Delivery negotiation or longer reach should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 56k ohm resistor keep the cable cool during all-day charging?

The 56k ohm pull-up resistor ensures correct current negotiation so the cable runs at safe temperatures during extended charging sessions.

What charger do I already need to power a MacBook with this cable?

Any USB-A phone charger, portable power bank or multi-port USB charger with a standard USB-A port will work.

Will this cable reach 5 Gbps on a 2016 MacBook Pro 13.3?

The cable supports up to 5 Gbps and the 2016 MacBook Pro 13.3 has USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, so full speed is available.
