FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed for this cable?

This cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps, which is equivalent to USB 2.0 speeds.

Can this cable support fast charging?

The cable itself supports efficient power delivery, but the actual charging speed depends on your connected USB Type-A power adapter and your device's charging capabilities. It is not a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) or Quick Charge cable as it uses a USB-A connector.

Is the metal housing durable?

Yes, the full metal housing is designed for premium feel and enhanced durability, offering better protection than plastic connectors.

What does 'shielded cable' mean?

Shielding helps to block electromagnetic interference from external sources, ensuring a cleaner and more stable signal for both data transfer and charging.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet) in length.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable has a diameter of 4mm.

Will this cable work with my iPhone?

This cable has a USB-C connector, which is not compatible with standard iPhone Lightning ports. It is designed for devices that use USB-C for charging and data.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB Type-A port or power adapter. Verify that the USB Type-C device is compatible with USB-A charging.

Data transfer is slow or intermittent

Check that the cable is fully inserted into both ports. Try a different USB Type-A port on your computer. Ensure there are no other high-interference devices nearby. Clean the connectors.

Cable feels loose in the port

Inspect the connectors for any debris. If the issue persists, the port on the device or the cable connector may be worn. Contact customer support if the cable is new.

Cable won't fit into the port

Confirm you are using the correct port (USB-A on one end, USB-C on the other). Ensure no protective cases are obstructing the connection on your device.

Pros and Cons

  • Reliable data transfer speeds up to 480Mbps.
  • Corrosion-resistant gold-plated connectors for stable connections.
  • Reduced interference thanks to shielded construction.
  • Premium aesthetic with a metallic finish.

Cons

  • Charging speed is limited by the connected power adapter and device.
  • May be bulkier than standard, unbraided cables.
  • Type-C connector only supports USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbps), not higher USB 3.0/3.1 speeds.
  • Requires a USB Type-A power source or port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-A connector into a compatible USB-A port (on a computer, power adapter, or car charger) and the USB Type-C connector into your device. No software installation is required.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all devices featuring a USB Type-C port for charging or data transfer, and it connects to standard USB Type-A ports. This includes most Android smartphones, tablets, e-readers, portable power banks, and other USB-C enabled accessories. Please ensure your power source (wall adapter, computer port) is a USB Type-A port.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector ends.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled, not tightly wrapped.
  • Clean connectors gently with a dry cloth if they appear dusty.
  • Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and sharp objects.
