The ShiverPeaks USB 3.0 cable USB-A to USB-C 0.5 m provides a compact connection for devices with USB-A and USB-C ports. Built to use the USB 3.0 interface, this 0.5-meter cable supports high-speed data transfer and device charging in situations where a short, reliable connection is preferred. It is intended for linking external storage drives, smartphones, tablets and USB peripherals to hosts with USB-A ports.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 cable offers reduced signal loss over a short length and supports higher transfer rates compared with USB 2.0, enabling faster file copying and media streaming between compatible devices. The USB-A to USB-C connector combination ensures compatibility with legacy hosts and modern peripherals. Its compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for use with laptops, docking stations and portable drives.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSDs to a computer with a USB-A port
• Charging and syncing smartphones and tablets that use USB-C
• Connecting USB-C peripherals such as card readers or audio interfaces to older hosts
• Short-reach connections in desktop setups, travel use, and laptop docking

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.0
• Connector A: USB-A (male)
• Connector B: USB-C (male)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Primary functions: data transfer and power delivery
• Typical use: short-reach, high-speed connections between USB-A hosts and USB-C devices

How to use

Insert the USB-A end into the host device (computer, laptop, docking station or charger) and connect the USB-C end to the target device (smartphone, tablet, external drive or peripheral). Ensure connections are fully seated before transferring data or charging. When transferring large files, allow the host and device to complete any indexing or syncing processes before disconnecting to avoid data corruption.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance connections to minimize signal degradation. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and disconnect by pulling the connector housing rather than the cable. For maximum transfer performance, use with devices and hosts that support USB 3.0 or higher and ensure appropriate drivers are installed on the host system.
