2.0 m USB 2.0 A-to-C cable

The StarTech RUSB2AC2MW is a 2.0 m USB 2.0 cable with a Type-A plug on one end and a Type-C plug on the other. It supports data transfer at 480 Mbit/s and charging for everyday devices. The white jacket uses TPE material and aluminum-mylar foil with braid shielding. Nickel-plated conductors complete the male-to-male connection.

Suits USB 2.0 charging and sync; not for faster data

This cable suits users who need a durable 2.0 m link for charging phones, tablets or peripherals and syncing data at USB 2.0 speeds. The aramid fiber reinforcement and strain relief rated for 10000 bend cycles at 180° help it survive daily handling. Buyers who require USB 3.x or USB4 data rates should look at a different specification.

USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s speed rating

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s speed rating. It determines whether the cable can meet the bandwidth needed for the intended task. If the application demands higher throughput, this cable will not satisfy it; if USB 2.0 bandwidth is sufficient, the length and durability features become the deciding factors.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.0 m length or the 6.56 ft option for my desk setup?

They are the same cable — 2.0 m equals 6.56 ft — so pick whichever unit you prefer.

What does the 480 Mbit/s rating mean when I copy files to a phone or drive?

It caps the link at USB 2.0 speed, so real-world throughput will be well below the theoretical maximum.

How does the USB 2.0 interface limit charging and data with a USB-C device?

The cable carries USB 2.0 signals only, so data tops out at 480 Mbit/s and power delivery follows the USB 2.0 specification.
