Product Information

Full details

This 1m black USB 2.0 cable is designed for users needing to connect modern USB Type-C devices to older PCs with standard USB Type-A ports. Its key benefit is the reversible Type-C connector, simplifying connections. A caveat is its USB 2.0 speed, which is slower than newer USB standards. This cable bridges the gap between USB-C equipped smartphones, tablets, and USB-A based computers, offering a convenient 1-meter length for basic data transfer and charging.
