Purpose & Audience

The Tripp Lite U038-003 is a 3 ft USB 2.0 cable that connects a USB-C device to a standard USB-A port on a charger, laptop or desktop. It serves anyone who needs to link newer phones, tablets or peripherals to older host ports without using an adapter.

Build & Daily Use

Gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief protect the 28AWG data pair and 20AWG power conductors for a long service life. The reversible USB-C plug removes orientation guesswork, while the short length keeps a desk or travel bag tidy and reduces cable clutter.

Upgrade Context

This cable replaces a legacy USB-A to Micro-B or proprietary lead when a device moves to a USB-C port but the host remains USB 2.0. The step up is worthwhile when you want a single, durable cord for charging and 480 Mbps syncing without buying a new charger or hub.
