USB-C to USB-A 2.0 cable for everyday charging

This ten-foot cable connects a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop to a standard USB-A charger, hub or computer port. It supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps and can carry up to 5 A for fast charging. The reversible Type-C plug removes the frustration of incorrect insertion. It suits users who need a long, reliable link for daily power and file transfers.

Sustained throughput stays at the USB 2.0 ceiling

During extended copies the link remains limited to 480 Mbps, so large media libraries move at a steady but modest pace. The 5 A current rating holds across the full length, allowing attached devices to maintain their maximum charge speed without throttling. No active electronics are present, so performance does not degrade with temperature or cable age. Users moving multi-gigabyte folders should plan for the inherent bandwidth cap.

Passive construction keeps thermals and noise absent

The cable draws no power of its own and generates no measurable heat during normal charging or data sessions. With no fans, pumps or active circuitry there is zero acoustic output. Voltage drop across the ten-foot run stays within USB 2.0 specifications, so connected chargers operate at their rated efficiency. The TPE jacket resists kinking and abrasion without adding stiffness that could stress ports.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 ft cable get warm when delivering 5 A for extended charging sessions?

The cable is rated for up to 5 A and 60 W charging; normal operation at that level should not produce noticeable heat under typical ambient conditions.

What charger or port must I already have to use the USB‑C to USB‑A 2.0 cable at its 5 A rating?

A USB‑A power source that supports 5 V / 5 A output — such as a 60 W USB‑A charger or a high‑current USB‑A port — is required to reach the maximum charging rate.

Will this USB 2.0 cable slow down data transfers if I keep using my older USB 3.0 hub?

Data runs at USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps; plugging into a USB 3.0 hub will not increase bandwidth beyond that limit.
