Short USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable

The StarTech.com USB31AC50CM is a 0.5m USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable with a USB Type-A male connector on one end and a USB Type-C male connector on the other. It supports 10Gbps data transfer and is built with PVC jacket, aluminum-Mylar foil and braid shielding, and nickel-plated connectors. The short length reduces clutter for close-range links between a USB-C device and a USB-A port on a computer or charger.

Who This Suits And Who Should Look Elsewhere

This cable suits users who need a tidy 50cm link to connect a USB-C portable drive, phone or tablet to a USB-A laptop, wall charger, car charger or power bank for charging and high-speed syncing. Buyers who need a longer reach for distant ports, or who require a USB-C to USB-C connection, should look at a different cable.

10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speed

The single specification that decides fit is the 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 rating, which delivers twice the throughput of USB 3.0 and twenty times that of USB 2.0. Both connectors are rated for this speed, so the cable will not bottleneck transfers between compatible hosts and peripherals.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps cable work with my older USB 3.0 Type-A ports?

Yes, the USB-A connector is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, but data speed will drop to the port's limit.

How can I verify the cable is delivering 10Gbps after connecting my devices?

Check the operating system's device manager or system report to confirm the link shows USB 3.1 Gen 2 or 10Gbps, and run a large file transfer to a fast SSD to observe throughput.

Does the 0.5m package include any adapters or power bricks, or just the cable?

Only the 0.5m USB-A male to USB-C male cable is included; no adapters, chargers or power bricks are supplied.
