USB cable S/CONN 13-31186 1.8m USB A to USB C 5 Gbit/s White

The S/CONN 13-31186 USB cable is a 1.8 m White USB A to USB C data cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 with data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s. It provides a straightforward wired connection between legacy USB A hosts—such as desktop PCs, laptops or chargers—and modern USB C devices including smartphones, tablets, external drives and peripherals. The cable is designed for reliable data transfer and everyday connectivity tasks where a direct USB A to USB C link is required.

Advantages

This USB A to USB C cable combines compatibility with older USB A ports and the convenience of USB C devices, enabling high-speed data transfers up to 5 Gbit/s. Its 1.8 m length offers flexible placement of connected devices without excessive slack. The white finish provides a neutral appearance that fits home and office environments. The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 signaling, ensuring backward compatibility with USB 2.0 hosts and devices at lower speeds when required.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files between computer and external SSD or HDD
• Connecting smartphones or tablets with USB C ports to a computer
• Syncing and backing up data from USB C devices
• Connecting peripherals such as USB C hubs, card readers or docking stations to USB A hosts
• Temporary charging or powering USB C devices from USB A ports (charging speed depends on host capabilities)

Key specifications

• Connectors: USB A (male) to USB C (male)
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) supporting up to 5 Gbit/s data rate
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Colour: White
• Compatibility: Supports USB 3.x and backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices

How to use

Connect the USB A end to a compatible host port such as a computer, laptop or charger and plug the USB C end into the target device. For maximum transfer speeds, ensure both host and device support USB 3.2 Gen 1. When used with USB 2.0 ports or devices, connection will fall back to lower transfer rates automatically. Use standard file transfer tools or device-specific software to move data, and safely eject storage devices from the host operating system before disconnecting to avoid data loss.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and do not sharply bend or tightly coil the cable during use. If you require sustained high-power charging, verify the power delivery capabilities of the host and cable; this cable is primarily intended for data transfer and standard charging scenarios rather than high-wattage power delivery.
