What this cable does

This one-metre USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable connects a USB-C device to a USB-A port on a laptop or desktop. It carries data at up to 10 Gbps and can also charge phones, tablets or other Type-C gear from a wall charger, car charger, power bank or laptop USB-A port.

The speed rating that matters

The cable is certified by USB-IF to meet the full USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification, delivering 10 Gbps throughput. That is twice the bandwidth of USB 3.0 and twenty times faster than USB 2.0, so large file transfers and backups finish in a fraction of the time.

What the certification changes

USB-IF certification means the cable has passed the official compliance tests for signal quality, connector durability and power delivery. You can rely on consistent 10 Gbps performance and safe charging without signal drops or overheating that uncertified cables often exhibit.
