USB-C to USB-A cable for 2.0 links

This Monoprice cable connects a USB-C host or charger to a USB-A device over a 6.00 ft run. It is rated for USB 2.0 operation with up to 480 Mbps data throughput and supports fast charging at up to 5 amps. The reversible Type-C plug removes orientation hassles when inserting the connector. Model 138917 ships new with a black TPE jacket.

Suits phones, tablets and laptops limited to USB 2.0

Users who only need 480 Mbps sync speeds and up to 5 A charging current will find this cable adequate. Builders who require USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth, or who need a USB-C to USB-C link, should select a different cable. The male-to-male ends fit standard Type-A ports and reversible Type-C ports without adapters.

Deciding spec is the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 ceiling

If the connected hardware negotiates only USB 2.0 speeds, this cable delivers the full 480 Mbps rate. Any device that demands 5 Gbps or faster signalling will be bottlenecked by this link. Confirm the host and peripheral specifications before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my laptop?

The 480 Mbps figure is the maximum theoretical bandwidth of the USB 2.0 connection. Real-world transfer speeds will be lower due to protocol overhead and the performance of the connected devices.

What does the USB 2.0 interface limit on this 6 ft cable?

The USB 2.0 standard caps data transfer at 480 Mbps and does not support video output or the higher power delivery profiles found in newer USB versions.

Will the USB-C and USB-A connectors on this 6 ft cable fit my ports side-by-side?

The cable has a standard USB-C male connector on one end and a USB-A male connector on the other, both designed to fit corresponding ports without blocking adjacent ones.
