Connecting USB-C devices to USB-A ports
This six-foot cable links a USB-C device to the USB-A port on a computer or charger. It uses a reversible USB-C male plug that inserts in either orientation. The construction combines 30 and 22 gauge wires inside a 4.5 mm PVC jacket rated VW-1. Connectors carry nickel plating while contacts use gold plating.
Sustained data transfer at 5 Gbps
The cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps during continuous use. Backward compatibility lets it operate with earlier USB generations when connected to older ports. It also works with Thunderbolt 3 devices that accept a USB-A connection. Operating temperature spans 14 to 140 F and storage temperature spans -4 to 185 F.
Check port types and length requirement
Verify the host side offers a USB-A receptacle and the device side uses a USB-C plug before ordering. The fixed six-foot length suits desktop setups but may be excessive for cramped spaces. Ensure the 4.5 mm outer diameter can route through any cable-management channels you plan to use.

Questions about this item
Does the 6 ft cable generate heat or draw extra power during all-day data transfers?
The cable is passive with 30 and 22 gauge wires and a 4.5 mm PVC jacket rated VW-1, so it adds no active heat or power draw beyond the host port's normal output.
What port must my computer or charger already have for this cable to work?
You need a standard USB Type-A port — USB 3.0 or earlier — on the host side; the cable's other end is a reversible USB-C male plug for your device.
Will this cable work properly with my older USB 2.0 hubs and chargers?
Yes, it is backward compatible with previous USB generations, so it will operate at the slower speed of any USB 2.0 or 1.1 port you connect it to.
