USB-C to USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 Extension

This 0.5 ft extension cable adds a USB-A female port to a USB-C male plug. It suits users who need to connect legacy flash drives, keyboards or mice to a modern USB-C laptop or phone. The short length keeps desk clutter to a minimum while maintaining a secure link.

3.1 Gen 1 10 Gbps Data and 5 A Charging

The cable carries up to 10 Gbps bandwidth and delivers up to 5 A of power for fast charging. It requires a host with a USB-C port and a peripheral with a standard USB-A connector. No extra drivers or adapters are needed for typical plug-and-play operation.

Sustained Transfer and Thermal Behaviour

Under continuous load the 30 AWG conductors maintain the rated 10 Gbps throughput without throttling. The compact moulded ends dissipate heat from the 5 A charging current, keeping connector temperatures stable during long file moves or extended charging sessions.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum data-transfer speed this 0.5 ft extension cable can sustain?

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps data bandwidth, matching USB 3.1 Gen 2 performance.

How much heat or power draw should I expect when the cable runs at its 5 A charging limit all day?

At 5 A the conductors are rated for continuous use; the 30 AWG wires stay within safe temperature limits under normal ambient conditions.

Which host port must my laptop already have for this male-to-female adapter to work?

Your laptop needs a USB Type-C port; the adapter then accepts any standard USB Type-A plug.
