Short USB-C to USB-A cable

This 1.5 ft USB 2.0 cable connects a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop to a standard USB-A charger, hub or computer port. It is built for users who want a compact link without cable clutter on a desk or in a bag. The reversible Type-C plug removes the frustration of incorrect orientation.

Build fit and freedoms

The male-to-male design needs only a USB-A host or charger and a USB-C device; no adapters or drivers are required. Its short length keeps the connection tidy in tight spaces such as car consoles, power-bank pockets or crowded power strips. The TPE jacket resists everyday bending while staying flexible.

Capacity and headroom

The cable delivers up to 480 Mbps data bandwidth for USB 2.0 file transfers and syncing. It supports fast charging at up to 5 A and 60 W for phones, tablets and compatible laptops. It does not carry video signals or USB 3.x data rates, so users needing display output or higher throughput should choose a different cable.
