EQUIP USB 2.0 C to A Cable M/M 0.5 m, USB 2.0, 0.48 Gbit/s, Nickel-plated contacts, Black

The EQUIP USB 2.0 C to A Cable M/M 0.5 m is a short USB-C to USB-A connection cable designed for charging and data synchronization between USB-C devices and standard USB-A ports. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and delivers charging currents up to 3A. The cable has nickel-plated contacts and a PVC jacket for durability and consistent connection performance.

Advantages

The cable combines USB-C compatibility with a standard USB-A plug, offering broad compatibility with laptops, power adapters, hubs and many peripherals. Double shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable data transfer, while nickel-plated contacts and a PVC jacket improve longevity and reliable electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Syncing data between USB-C smartphones, tablets or peripherals and USB-A hosts
• Charging USB-C devices from USB-A chargers or power banks (up to 3A)
• Connecting USB-C devices to laptops, printers, scanners and USB hubs

When it may not be suitable

This cable supports USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps) and is not suitable where higher transfer rates (USB 3.x or USB4) are required for large file transfers or high-bandwidth peripherals. It also does not support advanced USB-C power delivery profiles beyond the specified 3A output current.

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB-C male to USB-A male
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data transfer rate: up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0)
• Maximum output current: up to 3 A
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts
• Cable jacket material: PVC
• Color: black

How to use

Insert the USB-A male connector into the USB-A port of the host device (laptop, charger, power bank or hub) and insert the USB-C male connector into the USB-C port of the device to be charged or synced. Once connected, the cable enables data synchronization at USB 2.0 speeds and provides charging current up to 3A depending on the power source capabilities. Remove the cable by gripping the connector housings—avoid pulling on the cable itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data transfer speed: this cable supports USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) only
• Charging needs: maximum output current is 3A—check device and charger compatibility
• Length: 0.5 m may be short for some setups

Recommendations

Use the cable for routine charging and file syncing between USB-C devices and USB-A hosts. For large file transfers or peripherals that require higher bandwidth, choose a cable and interface that support USB 3.x or higher.
