USB A to USB C data cable

This USB A to USB C cable delivers up to 10Gbps data transfer under the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard and supports 3A fast charging with a 56K ohm pull-up resistor. It is built for users who move large files between a computer and USB C devices such as phones, tablets or portable SSDs. The 1.6ft length suits desktop setups where the host port sits close to the peripheral.

No video output or proprietary charging

The cable does not carry display signals, so it cannot drive monitors or docks. It also cannot charge devices that require proprietary protocols such as 4.5V/5A or 5V/4A implementations. The 3A current limit means some phones will charge at standard speed rather than their maximum rated rate.

Limited by USB A host port

Actual throughput depends on the USB A port on the host; older USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports will reduce the 10Gbps ceiling. The cable is not compatible with Micro USB or Lightning devices. Users needing longer reach, video alternate modes or higher power delivery should look for a different cable type.

Questions about this item

Does the 56K pull-up resistor need replacement over time?

No, the built-in 56K pull-up resistor is a permanent component that does not wear out or require replacement during the cable's lifetime.

What speed limit appears first during sustained 10Gbps transfers?

The cable is rated for 10Gbps (1250MB/s) under USB 3.2 Gen 2, so the host or device controller typically limits throughput before the cable does.

How much heat does the cable produce when charging at 3A all day?

The 56K resistor keeps current at 3A, so the cable stays cool during continuous 60W charging sessions.
