The cable combines reliable signal transmission with a neutral white design suitable for home, office, and mobile setups.

Advantages

This USB cable provides a balance of speed and universality: the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification enables data transfer at up to 5 Gbit/s, and the USB A to USB C connector combination makes it compatible with many legacy hosts and modern peripherals. The 1.8 m length offers flexible placement and reduced strain on connected devices. The white finish offers a discreet appearance that fits most workspaces and consumer electronics environments.

• Transferring large files between computers and USB-C external drives
• Connecting USB-C smartphones or tablets to USB-A ports on PCs and chargers
• Synchronising data and performing backups with compatible devices

How to use

Insert the USB A connector into a host device such as a computer, laptop, or USB-A charger, and plug the USB C connector into the target device such as an external drive, smartphone or tablet. For data transfer, allow the operating system to recognise the connected device and follow on-screen prompts to access files. For charging, ensure the power source provides appropriate output; charging speed will depend on the charger and device specifications. Unplug by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling the cable to avoid damaging the cable ends.

Recommendations

To maintain data integrity and prolong cable life, avoid sharp bends near the connectors, do not expose the cable to extreme temperatures or moisture, and disconnect the cable when not in use. For optimal transfer speeds, use ports and devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 or higher.
