USB cable Renkforce 1429649 — 1 m USB 2.0 Type A to USB-C, gold-plated contacts

Renkforce 1429649 is a 1-metre USB 2.0 cable with a standard USB Type A connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other. It is intended for data transfer and charging between devices with USB-C ports and host devices or chargers with USB-A sockets. The cable incorporates gold-plated contacts to reduce corrosion and improve contact reliability, and its USB 2.0 specification supports reliable connectivity for common peripherals and mobile devices.

Advantages

The cable's 1 m length provides a balance between reach and compactness for everyday use. Gold-plated contacts offer enhanced corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact over time. The USB 2.0 specification ensures broad compatibility with existing USB-A ports on laptops, power adapters and desktop computers. A USB-C connector enables reversible plug orientation for easier insertion.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones and tablets with USB-C to computers with USB-A ports
• Charging USB-C devices from USB-A chargers or power banks
• Connecting USB-C peripherals (headsets, cameras, external drives) to USB-A hosts
• Data synchronization and file transfer between devices

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 metre
• USB standard: USB 2.0
• Connector A: USB Type A (male)
• Connector B: USB Type C (male)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance
• Supported functions: data transfer and device charging (subject to host and device capabilities)

How to use

Insert the USB Type A plug into a USB-A port on a computer, charger or power bank and insert the USB-C plug into the device's USB-C port. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted to establish a proper electrical connection. When connecting to a computer, the operating system should detect the device and allow data transfer or charging according to the device's settings and permissions. For optimal charging, use a power source that matches the device's recommended input specifications.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and disconnect by gripping the connector housings rather than pulling on the cable. Store the cable coiled without tight knots. For high-speed data requirements or fast-charging protocols beyond USB 2.0, consider using cables and chargers specifically rated for those standards.
