USB A to USB C cable, 2.0 m

This 2.0 m USB 2.0 cable connects a USB Type-A host to a USB Type-C device for data and charging. It is rated at 480 Mbit/s and uses male connectors on both ends. The cable is built with a TPE jacket, aluminum-Mylar foil plus braid shielding, and nickel-plated conductors. It is suited for everyday linking of phones, tablets or peripherals to a standard USB-A port.

Users who need a durable daily cable.

The aramid fiber reinforcement and strain relief tested to 10000+ bend cycles at 180° make it a solid choice for frequent plugging and transport. Buyers who require USB 3.x or USB4 data rates, or who need DisplayPort alternate mode for video output, should look at a higher-specification cable because this model is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

USB 2.0 at 480 Mbit/s decides the fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 480 Mbit/s USB 2.0 transfer rate. If the connected devices and workflow operate within that bandwidth, the 24-pin Type-C connector and shielded construction will deliver reliable performance.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.0m cable run warm or draw noticeable power when charging a phone all day?

The cable is passive USB 2.0 rated at 480 Mbit/s and has no active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during continuous charging.

What port must my charger or computer already have for the USB-A end to plug in?

You need a standard USB Type-A female port, the rectangular 4-pin socket found on most wall chargers, laptops and desktop front panels.

Will this 480 Mbit/s cable slow down file transfers to my older USB 2.0 flash drives?

No, the cable matches USB 2.0 at 480 Mbit/s, so it will not be the bottleneck when used with legacy USB 2.0 devices.
