USB-A to USB-C flat cable

The 3 ft flat cable links a USB-A host to a USB-C device with male connectors on both ends. Its low-profile shape resists tangles and fits tight spaces behind desks or in bags. The black jacket uses copper conductors and supports Thunderbolt 3 compatibility.

USB 2.0 data rate under load

Rated at .48 gigabits_per_second, the link runs at USB 2.0 speeds during sustained transfers rather than short bursts. Large file copies or backups will move at this ceiling continuously. Fast charging is available for connected tablets and phones while data flows.

USB 2.0 speed ceiling

The .48 gigabits_per_second specification is the single figure that decides suitability; it rules out high-bandwidth tasks such as external SSDs or video capture. Buyers who need 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps throughput must choose a different cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 0.48 Gbps cable overheat or draw too much power when charging a phone overnight?

The flat cable uses copper conductors and supports fast charging without active cooling, so it stays cool during extended charging sessions.

My laptop only has USB-A ports — do I need any adapter or driver for this USB-C cable to work?

No adapter or driver is required; the male-to-male cable plugs directly into a standard USB-A port and a USB-C device.

Can I use this USB 2.0 flat cable with a Thunderbolt 3 dock and older USB-A peripherals?

Yes, the cable is Thunderbolt 3 compatible and will carry USB 2.0 data and power between the dock and legacy USB-A devices.
