The EQUIP USB 3.2 Gen 1 C to A cable (0.5 m) provides fast data transfer and reliable charging when connecting USB-C devices to a computer or USB-A host. It supports SuperSpeed transfers up to 5 Gbps and is designed for everyday syncing and file transfers between laptops, smartphones, external drives and peripherals.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbps and carries charging currents up to 3 A. Nickel-plated contacts and double shielding improve signal stability and corrosion resistance, while the PVC jacket adds durability for regular use.

Suitable for

• Syncing photos, music and large files between devices
• Connecting smartphones or tablets to laptops or desktop PCs
• Transferring data to and from external drives and peripherals
• Everyday charging of USB-C devices at up to 3 A

When it may not be suitable

This cable does not provide USB Power Delivery at higher voltages or currents beyond 3 A, so it is not suitable for fast charging laptops or devices that require higher power. It also does not support USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt-level data rates, so users needing speeds above 5 Gbps should choose a different cable.

Key specifications

• Standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also listed as USB 3.1 Gen 1)
• Data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbps
• Connectors: USB-C (male) to USB-A (male)
• Maximum charging current: up to 3 A
• Cable length: 0.5 m

How to use

Plug the USB-A end into a computer or USB-A power source and the USB-C end into the target device. For data transfer, wait for the host and device to recognize each other and use your operating system’s file transfer tools or sync applications. For charging, ensure the host or adapter can supply up to 3 A; charging speed depends on the host device and device battery management.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data speed — this cable supports up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1).
• Power needs — maximum current is 3 A; not suitable for higher-voltage fast charging of laptops.
• Connector compatibility — one end is USB-C, the other is USB-A; ensure your devices have matching ports.
• Length — 0.5 m may be short for some setups; consider a longer cable if needed.

Recommendations

Use this USB-C to USB-A cable for everyday syncing and charging between computers and USB-C devices. Avoid relying on it for high-power laptop charging or tasks requiring data rates above 5 Gbps; store and route the cable to prevent sharp bends to preserve shielding and connector integrity.
