Close-range USB-C to USB-A cable

This 0.5 m cable connects a USB Type-C device to a USB Type-A port for charging and data sync. The short length keeps workspaces tidy and suits travel bags where space is limited. Male-to-male connectors plug directly into a computer, wall charger or power bank without adapters. Nickel-plated contacts and a PVC jacket provide durable everyday use.

Sustained 480 Mbit/s data transfer

The USB 2.0 rating delivers a steady 480 Mbit/s throughput during extended file moves or backups. Aluminium-Mylar foil with braid shielding protects the signal from electromagnetic interference over the full cable run. Reversible USB-C orientation removes the frustration of repeated insertion attempts during long sessions. The 24-pin Type-C plug maintains all USB 2.0 lanes for consistent performance.

Low heat and silent operation

Passive construction means no fans, no moving parts and zero audible noise while charging or syncing. Power draw follows the USB 2.0 specification, so a standard USB-A port supplies sufficient current without extra adapters. The PVC jacket remains flexible at room temperature and does not stiffen during prolonged use. No active cooling is required for any supported workload.

Questions about this item

Does the 0.5 m cable length keep the power brick close enough to avoid heat buildup during long charges?

The short 0.5 m length keeps the charger near the device, reducing voltage drop and letting heat dissipate from the adapter instead of the cable.

Will my USB-A wall charger or power bank work with the Type-A end of this cable?

Yes, the USB 2.0 Type-A male plug connects to any standard USB-A charger, car charger or power bank for charging and syncing.

Can the 480 Mbit/s USB 2.0 link handle data transfers from an older USB 2.0 Type-C phone?

The cable operates at USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s, matching the speed of legacy USB 2.0 Type-C devices for reliable sync and charge.
