Connect USB-C devices to USB-A ports

This one-metre cable links a USB-C device to a standard USB-A 2.0 port on a laptop or desktop. It carries both data and power with a male-to-male straight connector layout. The PVC jacket and aluminium-Mylar foil with braid shielding protect the 20/28 AWG conductors. Nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion during repeated insertion cycles.

Check your port and speed needs

Verify the host provides a USB-A 2.0 receptacle; the cable will not deliver USB 3.x or USB4 bandwidth. Confirm the peripheral uses a USB-C 2.0 interface so the 480 Mbit/s ceiling matches its capability. The cable is Thunderbolt 3 port compatible for basic connectivity, but it does not support Thunderbolt data rates or video. Ensure 1 m reaches between your devices without strain.

Replaces legacy Micro-B or proprietary cables

Swap out older Micro-B leads when a phone, tablet or accessory moves to USB-C while the computer keeps USB-A ports. The upgrade is worthwhile when you need a single cable to charge and sync compatible mobiles such as the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, Nexus 6P or 5X. It is not for users who require faster transfer speeds, video output or Power Delivery negotiation beyond USB 2.0 limits.

Questions about this item

Does the cable include any adapters or do I need to buy a separate power brick for charging?

The box contains only the USB-C to USB-A cable itself; any wall charger or power adapter must be purchased separately.

Is the 1 m length the only option or are other lengths available for this model?

This model is supplied in a single 1 m length; other lengths would be different part numbers.

Will I actually see 480 Mbps transfer speeds when copying files to my phone?

The cable supports up to 480 Mbps, but real-world speed depends on the host controller, device storage and file sizes.
