FAQs
Can I use this cable to connect my Switch Pro Controller to my PC?
No, this cable is designed solely for charging. It will charge the Switch Pro Controller but cannot be used to connect it as an input device to a PC.
What power output is recommended for fast charging?
For optimal fast charging of the Nintendo Switch, it is recommended to use a USB-A power source with an output of at least 5V/2A or higher.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 1.5 meters (approximately 5 feet) in length.
Can this cable charge my phone?
Yes, if your phone uses a USB-C connector and supports charging via USB-C, this cable can be used to charge it, potentially at fast-charging speeds depending on your phone and the power source.
Is the USB-C connector reversible?
Yes, the USB-C connector is reversible, meaning you can plug it into your device in either orientation.
What type of USB port does the other end of the cable use?
The other end of the cable uses a standard USB-A 3.0 connector.
Troubleshooting
Nintendo Switch not charging
Ensure the USB-A end is securely plugged into a functional USB-A 3.0 port. Verify that the USB-C end is fully inserted into the Switch. Try a different USB-A power source to rule out an issue with the adapter.
Slow charging speed
Confirm that the USB-A power source supports fast charging (e.g., a 5V/2A or higher output). Check that the cable connectors are clean and free of obstructions. Ensure no other high-power devices are drawing from the same power source.
Cable feels loose when plugged in
Gently clean the USB-A port on the power source and the USB-C port on the device. If the issue persists, the cable or port may be damaged. Inspect the cable's connectors for any visible damage.
