USB-C to USB-A cable for 10 Gbps links

This three-foot cable joins a USB-C host to a USB-A peripheral at USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps. The reversible USB-C plug inserts either way up, and moulded nickel-plated shells with gold-plated contacts resist wear and EMI. It suits anyone moving large files between modern laptops, tablets or phones and legacy USB-A drives or docks.

Check your ports before ordering

Verify that one device offers a USB-C port and the other a USB-A port; the cable is male-to-male on both ends. No driver install is required, but both sides must support USB 3.1 Gen 2 to reach the 10 Gbps rate — older ports will fall back to their native speed. The 3 ft length limits placement, so measure the gap between your devices.

Fits between host and peripheral without extra gear

The cable draws bus power for connected devices and needs no external adapter. Its shielding protects nearby wireless gear from interference. It frees a USB-C port on the host for other duties while keeping a USB-A accessory in service. Builders who need a longer reach or a USB-C-to-USB-C link should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Tripp Lite U428-003-G2 cable and do I need any extra adapters?

The package contains the 3 ft USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable with a USB-C male connector on one end and a USB-A male connector on the other; no additional adapters are required.

Should I choose this 3 ft version or a longer one for my desk setup?

This model is a fixed 3 ft length; if you need more reach you would have to select a different part number, but the U428-003-G2 itself is only available at 3 ft.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when I plug the cable into my laptop and external SSD?

The 10 Gbps figure is the maximum USB 3.1 Gen 2 data rate the cable supports; actual throughput will depend on the host controller and the storage device you connect.
