SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable 3ft 56k Ohm Resistor Powerline S9 S8 Note 9 V30 G6 Nintendo Switch

SKU CH-H7CQ-WKJRV

A 3 ft USB-C to USB 3.0 cable with a 56 kΩ resistor for safe charging and 5 Gbps data transfer

Cable Length 3 Feet

  • 5 Gbps data transfer via USB 3.0
  • Safe charging with 56k Ohm pull-up resistor
  • Reversible USB-C connector inserts either way
  • 3 ft length suits desk or travel use
  • Compatible with Galaxy S9, Note 9, Switch and more

Device compatibility

This SMUGDESK cable connects a USB-C device such as a Samsung Galaxy S9, S8, Note 9, LG V30, G6, G5, Pixel, OnePlus 5, 3T or a Nintendo Switch to a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port for charging and data transfer. It includes a 56 kOhm pull-up resistor to ensure correct power negotiation with legacy chargers and hubs. The reversible USB-C plug inserts either way up for convenient daily use.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers who need a three-foot link between the listed phones, tablets or the Switch and a USB-A charger, power bank or computer will find the 5 Gbps sync rate and backup charging function fit the task. Users who require a USB-C to USB-C connection, longer reach than three feet, or bandwidth beyond USB 3.0 should look at a different cable type. The fixed length also makes it unsuitable for desk setups that demand extra slack.

Deciding specification

The 56 kOhm pull-up resistor is the single detail that determines safe operation with older USB-A power sources, preventing the device from drawing more current than the port can supply. Combined with the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 data rate and the 3 ft length, it defines whether this cable matches the buyer's specific hardware and safety requirements.

Questions about this item

What USB-A port size does the 3ft cable plug into for charging or data?

The cable uses a standard USB 3.0 Type-A connector that fits any USB-A port on chargers, hubs, laptops or desktops.

Which end goes in first when connecting the 56k Ohm resistor cable to a Nintendo Switch?

Plug the USB-A end into the power source or dock, then insert the reversible USB-C end into the Switch; the connector works either way up.

When should the 3ft Powerline cable be replaced if the 56k Ohm pull-up resistor fails?

Replace the cable if devices no longer charge at the correct rate, data transfers drop out, or the connector feels loose or damaged.
