What this cable does

The Tripp Lite U428-20N connects a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 device to a USB-A port. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps for fast data transfers and works with any host or peripheral that uses the USB-C connector.

Check your ports before ordering

Verify that the source device has a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port and the destination has a standard USB-A socket. The cable is 1.7 ft long, so measure the distance between ports to ensure the reach is sufficient for your setup.

Build and daily use

The cable uses PVC construction with male-to-male connectors on both ends. The reversible USB-C plug inserts either way up for quick, no-fuss connections, and plug-and-play operation means no drivers or software are required.
