USB 2.0 Type-C to Type-A cable for charging and data

This four-metre cable connects a USB-C device to a standard USB-A port for charging and syncing. It is suited to phone and tablet users who need extra reach from a wall charger or laptop port. The 26 AWG conductors support up to three amps of power delivery for fast charging. USB-IF certification confirms compliance with the USB 2.0 specification.

Reversible USB-C plug

The reversible Type-C connector inserts either way up, removing the frustration of aligning a traditional Type-A plug. A generous 13.12 ft run lets you charge from a floor socket while using the device on a sofa or desk. Black PVC jacketing resists everyday wear and blends with most setups. The male-to-male design requires no adapters for direct connection.

USB 2.0 bandwidth caps transfer speed at 480 Mbps

Data moves at up to 480 megabits per second, which is adequate for documents, photos and backups but slower than newer USB standards. The cable does not support video output or higher-power laptop charging beyond its rated current. Users moving large video libraries or driving external displays will find the throughput limiting. It remains a practical choice for routine phone syncing and charging.

Questions about this item

What practical speed limit does the USB 2.0 interface on this cable impose?

The USB 2.0 rating caps data transfer at 480 Mbps, so large file moves will not exceed that throughput.

What physical clearance does the 4 m length and Type‑A plug require?

At 13.12 ft the cable needs a clear run of that distance, and the USB‑A end requires a standard rectangular port with enough surrounding space for the moulded connector.

How do I connect the Monoprice 124286 correctly, and which orientation mistake is common?

Insert the reversible USB‑C end either way up; the USB‑A end goes in only one way — forcing it upside down is the step people get wrong.
