The USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-A Male Cable from C2G is the ideal solution for connecting any standard USB Type-C enabled device to a USB Type-A device or accessory for charging and data transfer. Ensure that a USB Type-C equipped laptop, smartphone, or tablet has a full charge and ready to go from the 3A charging output while simultaneously transferring photos, music, or data at speeds up to 5 Gb/s. With a transfer rate of up to 5Gb/s, it is fully backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1 devices. The symmetrical design of the USB Type-C connector is identical on both sides, so it does not matter if you plug it in upside-down or right-side-up. It will plug in the first time, every time, while preventing damage to the connector port.
