FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps, conforming to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 1) standard.

Can this cable charge my laptop?

Yes, the cable supports up to 60W (20V/3A) of power delivery, which is sufficient to charge many modern laptops, provided both the laptop and the power source support USB Power Delivery.

What does 'reversible connector' mean for the Type-C end?

The USB Type-C connector is symmetrical, meaning you can plug it into the port in either orientation – it doesn't matter which way up it is.

Will this cable work with a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, it will work with a USB 2.0 port, but the data transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps) and it may not support the full power delivery capabilities.

What is the difference between USB 3.0 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 1?

USB 3.0 Gen 1 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 are essentially the same standard, both offering speeds up to 5 Gbps. This cable actually supports 10Gbps, which aligns with USB 3.2 Gen 1 specifications.

What does the 'OD5' in the description mean?

OD5 refers to the Outer Diameter of the cable, indicating its thickness, which is 5mm. This often suggests a more robust construction.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or charging slowly

Ensure the USB-A port on your host device supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher) for full speed and power. Try a different USB-A port. Verify the USB-C device supports the charging standard used by the cable (up to 60W).

Data transfer is slower than expected

Confirm that both the host device's USB-A port and the connected USB-C device support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (10Gbps) speeds. Older USB standards will limit the transfer rate.

Cable feels loose in the port

Check for debris in the USB-A or USB-C port. Ensure the cable connector is fully inserted. If the issue persists, the port or cable may be damaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports fast 10Gbps data transfer rates.
  • Reversible USB-C connector for easy plugging.
  • Capable of charging laptops and other power-hungry devices (up to 60W).
  • Ideal for bridging the gap between older and newer USB standards.
  • RoHS compliant, indicating adherence to environmental standards.

Cons

  • Requires a USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or higher) port on the host for maximum speed.
  • Only one meter in length, which may be insufficient for some setups.
  • Black color may not match all device aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-A connector into a compatible USB port on your computer or hub, and the USB Type-C connector into your modern device. For optimal performance, ensure the USB-A port on your host device is USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or newer).

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard USB Type-A port and a USB Type-C port. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 specifications, meaning it will work with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 devices, though speeds will be limited by the slowest component.

Care: Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical stress. Keep connectors clean by gently wiping with a dry, soft cloth. Do not bend the cable sharply. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
