What this cable does

This 1.6 FT braided cable connects a USB A host to a USB C device for charging and data sync. It suits owners of phones, tablets, laptops or portable SSDs with a USB C port who need a short, durable link to a standard USB A charger or computer port.

The spec that decides fit

The cable uses a USB 2.0 solution so actual data speed is 480 Mbps even though the USB C plug fits a USB 3.1 socket. Buyers who need 10 Gbps transfer rates cannot use this cable for that purpose.

Thermals noise and power

The 56 kΩ resistor protects connected devices during charging up to 3 A. Aluminium connector shells and a two tone braided jacket resist wear without adding bulk or heat in normal use.
