Short cable for USB-C to USB-A links

This 0.5-metre cable connects a USB-C device to a standard USB-A port. It supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data at 480 Mbps and carries up to 3 A for charging. The 26 AWG conductors are housed in a black jacket. It suits users who need a short, tidy link between newer and legacy ports.

Who should avoid this length

The 0.5 m reach is too short for desk-to-tower runs or charging while standing away from the outlet. Buyers who need more length between devices should choose a longer cable. It also only provides USB 2.0 bandwidth, so anyone requiring faster transfers must select a different specification.

USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps sets the ceiling

The single deciding spec is the 480 Mbps Hi-Speed rating. It determines whether the cable meets your data-throughput requirement. If your workflow demands higher bandwidth, this cable will not suffice.

Questions about this item

Does the 26 AWG cable get warm when charging at 3 A for hours?

The 26 AWG conductors are rated for the specified 3 A charging current, so normal use at that level should not produce noticeable heat.

Which USB-C device and USB-A host must I already have for this cable to work?

You need a device with a USB-C port and a host or charger with a standard USB-A port; the cable simply bridges the two.

Will the 480 Mbps link slow down if I plug it into an older USB 2.0 Type-A port?

The cable is USB 2.0 compliant, so it runs at the same 480 Mbps on any USB 2.0 Type-A port without further reduction.
