USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C to Type-A Cable

This one-metre cable connects a USB Type-C phone, tablet or laptop to a standard USB Type-A port. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbps and can deliver up to 3 amps of charging power. The reversible Type-C connector removes the frustration of incorrect insertion orientation. Model 124287 is supplied new in black.

Sustained data transfer at up to 10 Gbps

Under continuous load the cable maintains the full USB 3.1 Gen 2 bandwidth of 10 Gbps for moving large files such as video libraries or backups. The 30 AWG conductors support the rated 3 amp current without significant voltage drop across the 1 metre length. Charging performance remains stable during extended fast-charging sessions for phones and tablets.

Practical limits of the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface

The 10 Gbps ceiling is set by the USB 3.1 Gen 2 specification and cannot be exceeded by this cable. Maximum power delivery is capped at 3 amps, so laptops requiring higher charge rates will charge more slowly or only maintain battery level. The Type-A end limits compatibility to hosts and chargers with legacy rectangular ports.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 Gbps cable run hot or draw extra power when left connected all day?

The 1 m USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable is passive and carries up to 3 A at 5 V, so it generates negligible heat and no measurable power draw when idle.

What charger or port must I already own to get the 3 A fast-charging rate?

You need a USB Type-A charger or port that can supply 3 A at 5 V; a standard 5 V / 1 A or 2 A port will charge more slowly.

Will the 10 Gbps link still hit full speed when I plug it into my older USB 3.0 Type-A ports?

The cable is backward-compatible, but data will fall back to the 5 Gbps limit of USB 3.0 ports.
