USB cable Renkforce USB Type A to USB-C 3.1 1.8 m

Renkforce USB cable USB Type A to USB-C 3.1 1.8 m is a data and charging cable designed to connect computers and peripherals with USB Type A ports to modern mobile devices, external drives and accessories with USB-C connectors. The cable supports the USB 3.1 specification to provide improved transfer rates compared with earlier USB generations while offering a 1.8-metre length that balances reach and desk tidiness for both stationary and mobile setups.

Advantages

This USB cable supports the USB 3.1 performance level for faster data transfer and more efficient file handling when connected to compatible hosts and devices. The Type A to USB-C connector pairing makes it suitable for connecting legacy computers or hubs to newer smartphones, tablets, SSDs and other USB-C peripherals. The 1.8 m length gives flexibility for desktop arrangements and occasional mobility without excessive slack. The cable construction is intended to provide reliable electrical contact and consistent charging behaviour when used with appropriate power sources and device charging protocols.

Suitable for

• Transferring data between PCs or laptops with USB Type A ports and devices with USB-C ports
• Connecting external SSDs, HDDs or flash drives with USB-C interface to older hosts
• Charging smartphones, tablets and accessories from Type A power adapters or host USB ports
• Use with docking stations, hubs or car chargers that provide Type A connections

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type A (male) to USB-C (male)
• USB standard: USB 3.1 compatible signaling for higher transfer rates compared with USB 2.0
• Cable length: 1.8 metres
• Cable use: data transfer and device charging
• Orientation: reversible USB-C plug for convenient insertion

How to use

Plug the USB Type A end into a host device such as a computer, laptop or USB power adapter. Insert the USB-C connector into the target device's USB-C port until it seats firmly. For data transfer, ensure both connected devices are powered on and that the host supports the USB 3.1 standard to achieve the higher transfer speeds; otherwise the connection will operate at the highest mutually supported speed. For charging, use a power source and cable combination that matches the device's charging requirements and observe device indications for charging status.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and disconnect by gripping the connector body rather than pulling the cable. Use a host and device that support USB 3.1 to benefit from increased data rates; when connecting to older USB ports the cable will default to the lower supported speed. For safe charging, use an adapter that supplies appropriate current and voltage for your device.
