Antibacterial USB-A to USB-C cable
This Tripp Lite Safe-IT cable connects USB-A hosts to USB-C devices while an antibacterial coating on the jacket helps reduce surface bacteria in shared environments. The 1.8 m length suits desktop, laptop or wall-charger setups where a standard 1 m lead falls short. Blue silicone construction stays flexible at low temperatures and resists kinking during daily carry.
Ultra-flexible silicone jacket
The silicone outer layer remains pliable in cold offices and does not stiffen like PVC, so the cable coils neatly without memory. An integrated antimicrobial agent inhibits bacterial growth on the surface, a practical benefit for hot-desking, classroom carts or healthcare workstations where multiple users handle the same lead.
Users who need a longer, hygienic USB 2.0 link
Ideal for anyone charging phones, tablets or peripherals from a USB-A port while preferring a cable that stays supple and cleaner between cleanings. Not suited for buyers who require USB 3.x or USB4 data rates, Power Delivery negotiation above USB 2.0 limits, or a right-angle connector for tight port clearance.

Questions about this item
Does the antibacterial coating on the silicone jacket wear off after repeated bending?
The silicone construction is ultra flexible and the antibacterial agent is integrated into the material, so it remains effective through normal daily flexing and coiling.
What stops the 480 megabits per second transfer rate from dropping during a long file copy?
The USB 2.0 specification caps the speed at 480 megabits per second, and the male-to-male connectors maintain a stable link for the full 6 foot length.
Does the 1.8 metre cable get warm or draw extra power when left plugged in all day?
The cable is passive with no active electronics, so it adds negligible resistance and no measurable heat during continuous charging or data sessions.
