Description
This 1.5m lead connects USB3.0 Type-A ports to Type-C devices, letting you sync data and charge from the same cable. It works with Type-C compatible Apple and Android phones, tablets and other kit, so you can keep one lead handy for everyday use. The USB version 3.0 standard supports super speed data transfer at up to 5Gbps, which is useful when moving larger files between your device and a computer.
The Type-C connector is reversible, so it goes in the right way every time without you having to check which side is up. That takes the guesswork out of plugging in and reduces the risk of damaging your device's charging port. The connectors themselves are low profile, and the cable is flexible and hard wearing for regular handling.
Running at 5.0V DC on both input and output, the lead measures 1.5m in length with a 4.5mm cable diameter and weighs 49g. That length gives you enough reach to use your device while it charges, and the slim profile makes it easy to coil and pack away. It is a straightforward, practical cable for anyone with USB-C devices who wants both sync and charge from a single lead. In the US, a lead like this is usually called a cable or cord, so both terms refer to the same thing here.
