USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable, 1.5 ft
This cable connects USB 3.0 Type-C devices to USB 3.0 Type-A ports. It uses thinner 32awg conductors and a TPE jacket for flexibility. The 1.5 ft length suits desktop or close-range connections. Model 138609 is new and ships in black.
Suits phones and laptops with Type-C ports
Users needing a short link from a Type-C device to a Type-A host will find this convenient. Builders requiring longer reach or a Type-C to Type-C connection should look elsewhere. The fixed 1.5 ft length cannot be extended without an extra cable.
USB 3.0 Type-A male connector on one end
The opposite end is a USB 3.0 Type-C male plug. Both connectors are male, so this cable plugs directly into a host Type-A port and a device Type-C port. No adapter is included for other connector types.

Questions about this item
How durable is the 32awg conductor and TPE jacket under daily bending?
The 32awg conductors and TPE jacket are designed for flexibility and easier connection, but Monoprice does not publish a bend-cycle rating or expected lifespan for this cable.
What is the maximum sustained data rate before the 1.5 ft length becomes a bottleneck?
The cable supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps; at 1.5 ft the length is well within spec, so the first limit under sustained use will be the host or device controller, not the cable itself.
Does the cable get warm or draw extra power when used continuously for charging?
The cable is passive with no active electronics, so it adds negligible resistance and does not generate noticeable heat during all-day charging or data transfer.
