What this cable connects

The Tripp Lite U038-C13 is a 13 ft USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-C cable built for charging and data transfer. It links a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 device to a standard USB-A port on a computer, wall charger or car charger. The male-to-male connectors are black and carry USB-IF certification for reliable performance.

Who should use it and who should not

This cable suits anyone needing a long reach to sync or charge a smartphone, tablet or peripheral from a legacy USB-A port. It supports up to 3 A of current for compatible devices. Buyers who require USB 3.0 or higher data speeds, or who need a USB-C to USB-C connection, should look at a different cable.

The spec that decides fit

The cable operates at USB 2.0 speeds, so large file transfers will be slower than on a USB 3.x link. Its 13 ft length gives extra placement flexibility for desks, nightstands or vehicle installations. Confirm your host port is USB-A and your device accepts a USB-C plug before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 2.0 interface on this U038-C13 cable limit data speeds?

Yes, the USB 2.0 rating means data moves at the standard rate for that specification, while the 3 A power rating is handled separately.

What physical space does the 13 ft length and male-to-male design need?

The 13 ft cable runs between a USB-A port and a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port; both ends are male connectors, so no extra adapters are required.

How do I install the U038-C13, and what step do people miss?

Plug the USB-A end into the host and the USB-C end into the device; the step often missed is ensuring the host port can supply the 3 A current the cable is rated for.
