USB-C to USB-A Cable, Aluminium Housing, 1 m

This cable connects a USB-C device to a standard USB-A port, so a phone, tablet or laptop can be charged from a wall charger, power bank or the older USB ports on a desktop computer. It handles both charging and USB 2.0 data.

The housing is anodised aluminium rather than the usual moulded plastic, which gives the connector a firmer feel and protects the shell from scuffs in daily use.

FAQ

Will it fast-charge my phone?
It carries the current the charger and phone agree on, up to the cable’s rating. For the highest speeds use a charger that supports your phone’s protocol.

Is it a USB 3.0 cable?
No. This is USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, built for charging and everyday data rather than high-speed transfer.
