Short reach, tidy desk setup

The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter on desks and in travel kits. It keeps devices close to a power source or hub. Because the connectors are straight and male, the fit is simple and secure.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 speed for daily tasks

This cable supports 10 Gbit/s transfer, suitable for moving files, syncing data, and connecting peripherals. In practice, it handles external SSDs, docks, and cameras without fuss. However, real-world speeds depend on your devices and ports.

60W Power Delivery for charging

USB Power Delivery v2.0 supplies up to 20 V / 3 A (60 W). So you can charge phones, tablets, and many laptops while you work. Also, it reduces the need for a separate power lead.

USB Type-C reversible connector

The USB-C plug is symmetrical, so you can insert it either way up. This saves time and reduces wear. Also, the connector is compact compared with older USB types.

Connect legacy USB-A to modern USB-C

The Type-A to Type-C design bridges older PCs and hubs with newer devices. For example, you can attach a USB-C phone or tablet to a computer that lacks USB-C ports. However, check your host port supports USB 3.0 or higher for full speed.

Straight connectors for easy access

Both connectors are straight form factor with male pins. This suits tight port layouts and enclosures. So it is a practical choice for fixed setups and travel bags.
