USB-C cable for data and charging
The Tripp Lite U420-003 is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable with USB-C male connectors on both ends. It spans 3 ft and supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The cable also delivers power output up to 3A for fast charging of mobile devices. Reversible connectors allow plug-in from either direction.
Suits USB-C device pairs, not single-port charging
This cable connects two USB-C devices such as smartphones, tablets, Ultrabooks, Chromebooks or computers. It also links a USB-C device to a USB-C wall charger. Buyers needing a USB-A to USB-C cable or a longer reach should look at something else. The 3 ft length limits placement flexibility between separated equipment.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 at 5 Gbps with 3A power
The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.1 Gen 1 rating, giving 5 Gbps data throughput and up to 3A power delivery. Backward compatibility with earlier USB generations is maintained. Nickel-plated moulded ends and gold-plated contacts provide durable conductivity. Foil shielding ensures reliable, error-free data communication.

Questions about this item
Does the 3 ft cable get warm or draw extra power when used all day for 5 Gbps transfers and 3A charging?
The cable is passive with foil shielding and gold-plated contacts, so it adds no active heat and carries up to 3A without extra power draw.
What must my devices already have to use this male-to-male USB-C cable?
Both devices need a USB-C port; the cable works with smartphones, tablets, Ultrabooks, Chromebooks or a USB-C wall charger.
Will this 5 Gbps cable work with my older USB 2.0 ports and devices?
Yes, it is backward-compatible with previous USB generations, so it will connect and function at USB 2.0 speeds on older ports.
