Palette Series 1.5 ft cable

This 1.5 ft Monoprice cable connects USB-C devices to standard USB-A ports. It supports data transfer up to 480 Mbps and delivers up to 3 amps or 60 watts of charging power. The nylon-braided jacket resists tangling and protects against nicks. Aluminium connector heads add structural durability for daily use.

Travel-ready short reach

The short 1.5 ft length suits desktop charging, power banks, or car chargers where excess cable creates clutter. It is not suited for users who need to charge a phone while using it across a room. Buyers wanting longer reach for bedside or sofa use should consider a different length.

480 Mbps sync and 60 W charge

The USB 2.0 interface comfortably handles phone backups, photo transfers, and document syncing at 480 Mbps. It runs out of headroom for large video libraries or full system images where faster protocols would save time. Charging tops out at 60 watts, enough for most phones and tablets but insufficient for larger laptops.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need a USB-A power source to charge my USB-C phone?

Yes, the Type-A plug connects to any standard USB-A wall charger, power bank or PC port to deliver up to 3 amps and 60 watts to your USB-C device.

Will the USB 2.0 data rate of 480 Mbps slow down file transfers from my older USB 3.0 laptop?

The cable is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, so transfers will run at up to 480 Mbps even if the laptop port is faster.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the full 3-amp charge after I plug it in?

Check the charging indicator on your phone or use a USB power meter; it should show a current draw approaching 3 A when the device supports fast charging.
