USB-A to USB-C adapter cable ShiverPeaks 30-38095 USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) — 20 m

The ShiverPeaks 30-38095 USB-A to USB-C adapter cable provides a 20 m single-cable connection that supports USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) data transfer. Designed to link devices with a USB-A host port to USB-C peripherals, this cable enables extended-reach setups without intermediate adapters or multiple cable segments. Its length and protocol support make it suitable for connecting external storage, hubs, audio interfaces and other USB-C devices where a direct, long-distance connection is required.

Advantages

This 20 m cable maintains USB 3.2 Gen1 data rates up to 5 Gbps over a single continuous run, reducing the need for repeaters or multiple connectors. The adapter format lets legacy hosts with USB-A ports communicate with modern USB-C peripherals while preserving high transfer speeds. A single-cable layout simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter in professional and home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting external SSDs or HDDs to a computer with a USB-A host port at long distances
• Linking USB-C hubs or docking stations when the host only provides USB-A
• Extending audio interfaces, MIDI controllers or other studio equipment with USB-C connectors
• Point-to-point data transfer and synchronization between devices in office or home environments

Key specifications

• Interface: USB-A (host) to USB-C (device)
• Data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen1)
• Length: 20 metres
• Cable type: single continuous shielded data cable suitable for high-speed USB signals
• Compatibility: supports USB-C peripherals for data communication with USB-A hosts

How to use

Plug the USB-A end into the host computer or device with a USB-A port and connect the USB-C end to the peripheral device. Ensure both devices are powered if required by the peripheral. The cable is intended for data transfer; where a device requires additional power beyond what the host can supply, use a self-powered hub or a dedicated power source for the peripheral. After connecting, wait for the host operating system to recognize the device and install any necessary drivers.

Recommendations

For optimal performance maintain a clear routing path without sharp bends and avoid tight coils. If a peripheral requires higher power delivery or alternate modes (such as USB-C video alt mode), verify power and feature compatibility with the host; this adapter cable provides data connectivity according to USB 3.2 Gen1 specifications but does not change power delivery or alternate-mode capabilities.
