  • Transfers files at up to 10 Gbps with USB 3.2 Gen 2
  • Delivers up to 60 W fast charging via 3 A current
  • Built-in 56 kΩ resistor protects devices from over-current
  • 6 ft length gives flexible reach for desk or car use
  • Aluminium alloy shell and gold-plated connectors add durability

What this cable does

This USB A to USB C cable moves data at up to 10Gbps and delivers up to 60W of power for fast charging. It uses the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard, which was renamed from USB 3.1 Gen 2 in 2019, and includes a 56K ohm pull-up resistor to keep current within safe limits. The connectors are gold-plated with an aluminum alloy shell for added durability.

Who this suits

The 6.6ft length works well for connecting a phone, tablet or external SSD to a desktop or laptop USB-A port. It supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, so compatible Android devices can charge from 0 to 70% in 30 minutes. Buyers who need a USB-C to USB-C connection or a shorter cable for portable use should look at something else.

Sustained behaviour

Under continuous heavy transfers the cable maintains its rated 10Gbps throughput without the speed drops seen on lower-spec leads. The 3A current limit and built-in resistor prevent overheating during extended charging sessions. Aluminum shells and gold-plated contacts resist wear from repeated plug cycles, keeping performance stable over time.

Questions about this item

Does this cable need a USB-A port that supports 10 Gbps to reach its top transfer speed?

Yes. The host USB-A port must run at USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps); a USB 3.0 or 2.0 port will limit the rate.

Can I keep using an older USB 3.0 external SSD with this cable?

It will work, but the SSD will run at its native 5 Gbps ceiling instead of the cable’s 10 Gbps maximum.

How do I confirm the cable is delivering 60 W during fast charging?

With a QC 3.0 charger and a compatible phone, the Galaxy S10 reached 70 % in 30 minutes in the supplier test.
