Product Features
Technical Overview
At one end, the USB2AC1FTBR terminates in a single USB 2.0 Type C connector; at the other end is a single USB 2.0 Type A connector. This orientation is designed to link USB-C devices to existing USB-A wall chargers, charging stations, hubs, and workstation setups without requiring replacement of the host equipment. Total cable length is 12" (304.80 mm) with an outer diameter of 0.20" (5.08 mm).
Power delivery is rated at 15W with a 3A limited power rating, supporting fast charging with USB Power Delivery (USB PD). Data moves at 480 Mbit/s over 21/28 AWG conductors, which is suitable for general file transfer and sync tasks. The jacket uses Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) and braided nylon, and the connectors are plated with nickel. The cable weighs approximately 0.60 oz (17.01 g).
Key Product Advantages
The USB2AC1FTBR is built for daily use. Its dual-layer jacket pairs a flexible TPE inner layer with a braided nylon exterior, designed to withstand frequent 60° bends. Nickel-plated connectors are rated beyond 10,000 insertions, making the cable a durable choice for high-traffic charging or sync points. The short 1ft length helps keep setups organized where a longer cable would create clutter.
StarTech.com USB cables are rigorously tested in an in-house Innovation Lab for reliable performance, durable construction, and broad compatibility. Free lifetime 24/5 multilingual technical assistance is included.
For buyers comparing similar models, the strongest advantage is usually the balance between dependable day-to-day operation and a simpler rollout experience. That means less time spent troubleshooting fit, compatibility, or user adoption after installation, which is especially important for shared business environments and repeat purchasing decisions.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is intended for connecting USB-C devices to existing USB-A wall chargers, charging stations, hubs, and workstation setups. Supported devices include workstations, smartphones, tablets, wall chargers, power banks, and USB hubs. Its 1ft length is well suited to charging stations and desk setups where devices sit close to the power source.
In office and home environments, the USB2AC1FTBR provides a tidy way to charge USB-C smartphones and peripherals from USB-A ports without replacing existing chargers or hubs. It also supports USB 480Mbps for general file transfer or sync, so the same cable can be used for light data tasks.
Office Desk Reproducibility
Standardize on a single short USB-A to USB-C cable for charging USB-C phones and peripherals from existing USB-A ports at each workstation. Quick ID markings help confirm capability at a glance in shared or high-density areas.
Mobile and Travel Kit
The compact 1ft length packs easily for on-the-go charging from a wall charger, power bank, or hub. Braided nylon construction is designed for repeated use in a bag or pocket.
Physical Profile
The cable is black with a TPE and braided nylon jacket weighing approximately 0.60 oz (17.01 g). Its 12" (304.80 mm) length and 0.20" (5.08 mm) outer diameter give it a slim profile that routes neatly at a desk or in a charging station, while the braided exterior adds durability for frequent handling. The short run keeps the connection point close to the charger or hub, which helps reduce tangling in dense setups.
