USB A to USB C connectivity

This one-metre cable carries a USB Type-A male plug on one end and a USB Type-C male plug on the other. It is built to the USB 3.0 specification and supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. The conductors use 24/32 AWG wire gauge and the straight connectors are finished in black. It suits anyone linking a USB-C peripheral to a legacy USB-A host.

Suits USB-C drives, phones

The cable works for charging a USB-C mobile device from a USB-A laptop or wall charger and for syncing data with a USB-A computer. Buyers who need a USB-C host connection or a USB-C to USB-C link cannot use this cable. It also does not serve setups that require a female port or an angled connector.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 data rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 5 Gbps signalling speed defined by USB 3.0. If the host and device both operate at this rate the cable will deliver full throughput; if either end requires a faster bus the link will fall back to the lowest common speed.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 Gbit/s USB 3.0 link run at full speed when I plug this cable into an older USB 2.0 Type-A port?

The cable is built to the USB 3.0 specification, so it will fall back to USB 2.0 speeds on a legacy port and return to 5 Gbit/s when connected to a USB 3.0 or newer Type-A host.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the rated 5 Gbit/s transfer rate after I connect it?

Check the operating system’s device manager or system profiler; the link should be reported as a USB 3.0 connection running at 5 Gbit/s, and large file copies should approach that throughput.

Does the package include only the 1 m USB-A to USB-C cable, or are adapters or power bricks also supplied?

The box contains the single 1 m cable with a 9-pin USB Type-A male plug on one end and a 24-pin USB Type-C male plug on the other; no extra adapters or chargers are included.
