Hama USB-C Cable, USB-A to USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen1, 5 Gbit/s, 0.25 m, Black 00202004

Short on space but need a reliable link between your laptop and a USB-C device? This 0.25 m cable connects a USB-A port to USB-C, making it ideal for tight desk setups, travel kits, or charging a phone from a power bank without a tangle of excess wire. The USB 3.2 Gen1 standard delivers 5 Gbit/s data transfers, so syncing photos or backing up files stays quick. Its double shielding keeps signals clean even near other electronics, and the black PVC jacket withstands daily bending. The USB-C connector plugs in either way, saving you from fumbling in low light.

Why choose it

The ultra-short length reduces clutter and signal loss, while the 5 Gbit/s speed handles large files without long waits. Double shielding protects against interference, and the robust PVC jacket is built for frequent plugging and unplugging. The reversible USB-C connector works with modern smartphones, tablets, and peripherals, and the USB-A end fits older laptops, chargers, and hubs.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a USB-C smartphone to a USB-A laptop for fast file transfer
• Charging a USB-C device from a USB-A power bank or wall charger
• Linking a USB-C hub or card reader to a computer with limited space
• Keeping a spare cable in a laptop bag or car for emergency sync or charge

Good to know

This cable supports standard USB charging at up to 15 W (5 V/3 A), so it is not intended for high-wattage fast charging protocols like USB Power Delivery. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, but data speed will be limited by the slower device. The 0.25 m length is perfect for desktop use where devices sit close together, but may be too short for connecting across a room.
