Short cable for tight spaces

This 1 ft USB C to USB A cable connects a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop to a standard USB-A port for charging and data transfer. It delivers up to 5 V at 2 A and operates at USB 3.0 speeds rated up to 480 Mbps. The compact length keeps desks tidy and suits travel bags where longer cables tangle. Black male-to-male connectors are backward compatible with older USB ports.

Users who want a short link for power and sync

It suits anyone charging a USB-C device from a laptop, power bank or wall charger with a USB-A socket while moving files at the same time. Buyers who need more reach between devices, or who require the higher throughput of USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 4, should look at something else. The cable does not support video output or alternate modes.

1 ft length decides the use case

At exactly one foot the cable only spans short gaps such as a phone on a desk dock or a portable drive beside a notebook. If the USB-A port is further away the cable will not reach, so measure the distance before ordering.

Questions about this item

What practical speed does the USB 3.0 interface cap at?

The cable is rated for up to 480Mbps data transfer, which is the practical ceiling of this USB 3.0 link.

What physical clearance does the 1 ft cable need?

The cable is 1 foot long with male USB-C and male USB-A connectors, so it requires only the space for those two plugs and the short run between them.

How do I connect it and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB-C end into the Type-C device and the USB-A end into the Type-A port; the step people miss is ensuring both ports support the 5V 2A power delivery for simultaneous charging and syncing.
