InLine USB 2.0 Cable, USB-C male / USB-A male, black/alu, flexible, 0.5m

InLine USB 2.0 cable with a USB-C male connector on one end and a USB-A male connector on the other, 0.5 m long and finished in black with aluminium-coated connector shells. The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and is designed for compact device connections where space is limited. The reversible USB-C plug can be inserted in either orientation and the compact connector dimensions (approx. 8.4 x 2.6 mm) allow for central, flush mounting on devices. Backwards compatibility to older USB-A devices is provided via the A-type connector. According to the manufacturer, the USB-C connector is rated for about 10,000 mating cycles.

Advantages

The cable combines flexibility and a short 0.5 m length for tidy connections between smartphones, tablets and peripherals. Aluminium-coated connector shells improve mechanical durability and the reversible USB-C plug simplifies insertion. The product supports reliable USB 2.0 data transfer and is suitable for situations where a compact connector footprint is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones and tablets to USB-A hosts
• Linking external USB hard drives and SSDs to computers or chargers

How to use

Insert the USB-C connector into the device’s USB-C port; the reversible design allows insertion in either orientation. Plug the USB-A connector into the host device such as a computer, charger or hub. Use the cable for data transfer and device connection at USB 2.0 speeds. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and do not expose the cable to liquids or extreme temperatures to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term use, allow gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks; the manufacturer rates the USB-C connector for approximately 10,000 mating cycles. If you need faster data rates or charging at higher power levels, consider a cable specified for USB 3.x or USB-C PD as this USB 2.0 cable is limited to 0.48 Gbit/s and standard USB 2.0 power capabilities.
