Microconnect USB3.2CA05 USB cable USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) 0.5 m USB A USB C Black

The Microconnect USB3.2CA05 is a 0.5 m USB cable with USB A and USB C connectors designed for charging and data transfer between devices that use a USB-C socket (for example smartphones, tablets or modern laptops) and a USB 3.0/3.2 A host such as a notebook or USB travel charger. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 2) with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of up to 10 Gbit/s and features nickel-plated contacts for durable, reliable connectivity.

Advantages

The cable offers high-speed data transfer up to 10 Gbit/s and backward compatibility with USB A hosts. Its 0.5 m length is convenient for close-range connections and travel, while nickel-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The black finish provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance that fits most devices and environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones with USB-C to notebooks or chargers with USB-A
• Transferring large files between USB-C devices and USB-A hosts
• Charging USB-C phones, tablets and some laptops from USB-A power adapters

Key specifications

• Connector 2: USB C
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 0.5 m

• Contacts: Nickel-plated

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into the USB-A port of your host device (for example a notebook or USB travel charger) and insert the USB C connector into the USB-C port of the target device (smartphone, tablet or laptop). Ensure both devices are powered on if performing data transfer. For optimal transfer rates, use hosts and devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 2; otherwise the connection will operate at the highest mutually supported USB version.

Recommendations

For sustained high-speed transfers, avoid coiling the cable tightly and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Verify connector orientation and insert gently to prevent damage to ports. When charging laptops, confirm that your USB-A power adapter provides sufficient power—this cable supports data and standard USB-A charging but does not change the power output capability of the adapter.
