What this cable is and who needs it

The Tripp Lite U428-C6N-F is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable delivering 5 Gbps throughput with a USB-C male to USB-A male connection. It carries USB-IF certification and supports Thunderbolt 3 host ports. The six-inch length suits tight desktop routing or portable kits where excess slack creates clutter.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders connecting a USB-C peripheral to a legacy USB-A port will find the short reach convenient for docks, drives or adapters kept close to the host. Users needing longer runs across a desk, behind a monitor arm or between separated devices cannot stretch this cable and should choose a longer alternative.

The specification that decides fit

The fixed six-inch length is the single constraint that determines whether the cable reaches your ports; measure the gap between your USB-C device and the USB-A host before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does my host device need a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 at 5 Gbps to use this Tripp Lite U428-C6N-F cable?

Yes, the cable is built to the USB 3.1 5 Gbps standard, so the host USB-C port must support that speed to achieve the rated throughput.

Can I connect this cable to a legacy USB 2.0 Type-A port and still transfer data?

The cable will fall back to USB 2.0 speeds when plugged into a USB 2.0 Type-A port, allowing basic data transfer at the older port's maximum rate.

How can I confirm the link is running at the full USB 3.1 5 Gbps rate after I plug it in?

Check the operating system's device manager or system profiler; it should list the connection speed as 5 Gbps or SuperSpeed USB when the link is operating at the rated performance.
