Key Performance Specifications

SuperSpeed 5Gbps Data Transfer

This cable supports the USB 3.2 Gen 1 standard, offering a maximum data transfer rate of 640 Mbit/s. You can move large files between a USB-A port and a USB-C device efficiently. Because it is a wired connection, you avoid the latency of wireless alternatives. In practice, this is useful for backing up documents or syncing media libraries.

Straight Connectors for Simple Setups

Both connectors feature a straight, male form factor. This design suits tight ports and rear-mounted desktop bays. The nickel-plated contacts aim to provide a stable electrical connection over time. However, the cable jacket is PVC, which may feel rigid in very cold environments.

Plug-and-Play Compatibility

The cable requires no drivers or software installation. It connects a standard USB-A port to a USB-C device. Because it is passive, it does not actively convert protocols. So, confirm your host device supports USB-C data and power delivery.

Compact 1-Metre Length

At 1 metre, this cable offers a balance of reach and portability. It reduces cable clutter on a desk while allowing some device movement. Also, the lightweight design makes it easy to carry in a bag. The package type is a bag, which is minimal and recyclable.
