Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable uses 24/30 AWG wiring to support 3A charging current, enabling 15W fast charging for compatible devices. The USB 2.0 specification ensures backward compatibility with existing USB-A ports while providing sufficient bandwidth for device synchronization and file transfers.
The connectors feature robust strain relief with an 8mm bend radius to prevent cable damage at connection points. The halogen-free TPE jacket is both flexible and wear-resistant, maintaining cable integrity through daily use.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

This cable combines fast charging capability with durable construction for long-term reliability. The 3A output charges compatible devices efficiently, while the USB 2.0 data path handles synchronization tasks without requiring separate cables.
Durable Design
Nickel-plated connectors and reinforced strain reliefs withstand repeated plugging and unplugging, while the flexible TPE jacket resists kinking and wear.
- 10,000+ insertion cycles
- 8mm bend radius strain relief
- Halogen-free materials
EMI Protection
Braided aluminum shielding with aluminum Mylar foil minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transfer and charging performance in electrically noisy environments.
Broad Compatibility
Works with USB-C devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and portable monitors from Apple, Samsung, Google, Asus, and Microsoft.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable serves as a versatile solution for charging and data transfer needs across multiple environments. Connect it to USB-A wall chargers, power banks, car chargers, or computer ports to charge USB-C devices while maintaining data sync capability.
Ideal for office workstations where employees need to charge phones or tablets while occasionally transferring files. Also suitable for home use with laptops, tablets, or portable monitors that support USB-C connectivity. The compact 3-foot length provides flexibility without excessive cable clutter.
Mobile Device Charging
Use with USB-A wall adapters or power banks to fast charge iPhone 15 series, Samsung Galaxy devices, Google Pixel phones, and other USB-C smartphones.
Computer Peripheral Connection
Connect USB-C monitors like Asus ZenScreen or ProArt displays to computers with USB-A ports for both power and data, though video transmission via DisplayPort Alt Mode is not supported.
Physical Profile
The cable features a clean white TPE jacket with a 0.12-inch (3.0mm) outer diameter, maintaining a slim profile that fits easily in bags or desk organizers. At just 0.70 ounces (19.84 grams), it adds minimal weight to mobile kits while providing substantial durability through its polyamide resin construction and aluminum shielding layers.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.70 oz (19.84 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
