USB-C host to USB-A device cable

This 30 cm cable connects a USB-C host such as a laptop, tablet or phone to a USB 3.0-A device. It carries an OTG function so the USB-C end must be the host and the USB-A end the device. The connection direction is fixed and cannot be reversed. It is suited for users who need a short, direct link to a USB-A peripheral from a modern USB-C port.

Fixed host-to-device orientation

The single specification that decides compatibility is the mandatory host-to-device direction: the USB-C plug must go into the host and the USB-A plug into the device. Reversing the roles will not work, so buyers who need a USB-A host to USB-C device connection cannot use this cable. Check the port roles on both pieces of equipment before ordering.

Passive cable thermals

As a passive 30 cm cable it generates no measurable heat and produces no noise during normal data transfer. Power draw is limited to what the connected USB 3.0 device requires, with no additional circuitry to increase consumption. The short length keeps voltage drop minimal for typical 2.5 inch hard drives.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 3.1 rating mean when I plug this cable into a laptop?

The cable supports up to USB 3.1 data rates when the host port and the connected drive both use USB 3.0 or 3.1. Actual speed depends on the slowest link in the chain.

Which USB standard limits the transfer speed on the USB-A end?

The USB-A connector follows the USB 3.0 specification, so that end caps the connection at USB 3.0 speeds even though the USB-C end is labelled USB 3.1.

How long is the cable and what devices can it physically reach?

The cable is 30 cm long and connects a USB-C host such as a laptop, tablet or phone to a USB-A 2.5 inch hard drive.
