USB-C to USB-A 3 ft cable

The Tripp Lite U428-003 connects a USB Type-C device to a USB Type-A port on a computer, tablet or charger. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The cable measures 3 ft in length.

Reversible plug and moulded strain relief

The USB-C end features a reversible male connector that inserts either way up, removing the fumble of legacy plugs. Moulded strain relief and shielding protect the conductors during repeated insertion and daily flexing. Nickel-plated shells and gold-plated contacts maintain low-resistance connections over time.

Limited to USB 3.1 Gen 1 bandwidth

The interface tops out at 5 Gbps, so attached storage or peripherals cannot exceed that throughput. The cable does not carry video signals or support higher USB 3.2 or USB4 speeds. Power delivery is restricted to the host port’s standard output.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the 5 Gbps link speed after plugging it in?

Check the OS connection details; a USB 3.1 Gen 1 link should report a 5 Gbps signalling rate and real-world throughput near 640 MB/s.

What connectors and accessories are included in the package?

The box contains the 3 ft cable with a reversible USB-C male plug on one end and a standard USB-A male plug on the other; no extra adapters are bundled.

Which length or version of this Tripp Lite cable should I pick for a desktop charging and data setup?

The U428-003 is a single 3 ft model rated for USB 3.1 Gen 1 at 5 Gbps; choose it when a short, high-speed Type-C to Type-A link is needed.
