Five-pack USB-C cables for daily charging

This five-pack supplies five grey braided USB-A to USB-C cables, each 3 ft long, designed for charging and syncing smartphones, tablets and laptops that use a USB-C port. The nylon braid and aluminium connector housings resist wear from frequent plugging and unplugging. Buyers who need longer runs or right-angle connectors should look elsewhere.

USB 2.0 limits data to 480 Mbps and charging to 3 A

The cables conform to USB 2.0 and the USB-C 1.1 specification with a 56 kΩ pull-up resistor, so data transfers peak at 480 Mbps and power delivery tops out at 3 A. They will not support USB 3.x or USB4 bandwidths, nor Power Delivery profiles above 3 A. Users who require 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps or higher wattage charging must choose a different cable.

Check that your charger

Verify that your wall charger, power bank or car adapter provides a standard USB-A output and that your phone, tablet or laptop charges safely at up to 3 A over a USB-A to USB-C link. The 56 kΩ resistor protects legacy USB-A ports, but some proprietary fast-charge protocols will not activate. Confirm compatibility before relying on maximum speed.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the five-pack of 3 ft grey cables or look for a different length?

The listing only offers this five-pack of 3 ft grey braided cables; no other lengths or colours are included.

What does the 480 Mb/s figure mean when I plug the cable into my laptop?

It is the maximum USB 2.0 data rate, so file transfers and sync will top out at 480 Mb/s even on faster ports.

Which USB standard does the Type-A to Type-C connector follow and what current can it actually carry?

It follows USB Type-C specification 1.1 with a 56 kΩ pull-up resistor, allowing up to 3.0 A charging when the power source supports it.
