Cable USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C a A Equip, M/M, 2 m

The equip® USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C to A cable (2 m) provides a connection between devices with USB Type-C ports and hosts or chargers with USB Type-A ports. It supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and carries power for charging. The cable features nickel-plated contacts and magnetic shielding for reliable signal integrity and durability.

Advantages

This USB-C to A cable delivers high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s, significantly faster than USB 2.0, while also supporting device charging. Nickel-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and connection stability, and magnetic shielding reduces electromagnetic interference to maintain consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Transferring photos, music and large files between USB-C devices and USB-A computers
• Charging smartphones, tablets and other USB-C devices from USB-A chargers or power banks
• Connecting peripherals with USB-C ports to older USB-A ports on laptops and desktop PCs

Key specifications

• Connectors: USB Type-C (device end) to USB Type-A (host end)
• USB specification: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backwards compatible with USB 2.0)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 2 m
• Contacts: nickel-plated
• Shielding: magnetic shielding for reduced interference
• Colour: white
• Weight: approximately 0.095 kg

How to use

Plug the USB Type-A connector into a host device or charger with a USB-A port and insert the USB Type-C connector into the target device. Once connected, the cable will enable data transfer at up to 5 Gbit/s where supported and provide charging current as allowed by the host and device. Ensure both device and host ports are clean and correctly aligned before insertion to avoid damage.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with devices and hosts that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve full 5 Gbit/s transfer speeds. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep contacts clean; if you require faster transfer rates or higher power delivery, select a cable and host that support higher USB versions or dedicated charging standards.
