USB 3.1 Type-C to USB 3.0 Type-A Cable

This flat slim FPC data cable connects a USB 3.1 Type-C male host port to a USB 3.0 Type-A male connector. It is designed for users who need to link modern laptops or smartphones with standard USB-A peripherals such as external drives, printers or scanners. The 10Gbps transfer rate supports fast movement of large files between devices.

Flat Slim FPC Build and Daily Routing

The ultrathin flexible ribbon construction allows the cable to be routed in tight spaces behind desks, inside bags or alongside other wires without adding bulk. Its low-profile form factor keeps workstations tidy and reduces strain on ports during frequent connection and disconnection. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers, so the link is ready as soon as both ends are seated.

10Gbps Transfer Rate Decides Suitability

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 10Gbps high-speed data transfer capability. If your workflow moves multi-gigabyte media libraries or system images and you need that bandwidth over a USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection, this cable meets the requirement. Buyers who only need slower speeds for basic peripherals such as keyboards or mice will not benefit from the extra headroom.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.1 Type-C connection run at the full 10Gbps or drop to USB 3.0 speed?

The cable is rated for 10Gbps via USB 3.1 Gen2, but the USB 3.0 Type-A end caps actual throughput at 5Gbps.

How thick is the flat FPC ribbon and will it fit behind a laptop hinge or under a phone case?

The ultrathin flexible ribbon is designed for low-profile routing in tight gaps such as hinge clearances or slim case openings.

Do I need drivers or a specific orientation when plugging the Type-C host end into my laptop?

It is plug-and-play with no drivers; the reversible Type-C connector inserts either way, while the Type-A end goes in one direction only.
