StarTech.com’s fast charge type A to USB C cable transfers data and power across your devices efficiently and with ease. With a 2m cable length, place your gadgets where they're most convenient to you or connect your computer with peripheral devices located nearby. Kevlar, aluminium-mylar foil with braided shielding, and a TPE jacket make it an incredibly long-lasting adapter for all your everyday needs, whether at home or in the office.

With this USB type-C cable, not only can you sync devices to your computer, the cable also supports fast charging and delivers 3A of power flow to compatible devices. It has 60W of power delivery to charge users devices, meaning there's no need for an additional power supply.

This sync cable is reinforced with Kevlar aramid fibre to further protect the cable from constant bending and twisting. This allows the adapter to flex without overstretching.

Being a StarTech.com product, users can buy with confidence that the materials are of the highest standard and durability for performance you can depend on. For first-class protection with greater cable flex, the designers have added a braided Aluminium-Mylar Foil shield and made the jacket from softer and more flexible TPE (thermoplastic elastomer).

Aramid fibre has been added because of its superb heat resistance capabilities and provides extra durability for the cable. With all the conductors insulated, the reduction in friction enhances the flexibility without damaging or over-stretching the wires inside.

StarTech.com have thought of everything. They’ve added a metal shield to surround the circuit board in the type C connector for further protection, but also incorporates integrated protection against electromagnetic interference to allow devices to charge without interference. The shield also maintains the strength of the connection point.

This solid construction can withstand over 10,000 bend cycles at a 180-degree angle, creating superb strain relief over a long period.

With the very best protection in place, users won’t need to worry about replacing the cable anytime soon. For climate conscious customers, this reduces landfill as you’re not replacing cables as often.

Does not require any external software to be downloaded to use it. Simply plug in the adapter and play.

While it is advertised for a solution to all cable needs, there is still some creases to iron out because manufacturers can't coalesce around the same standards. But since 2019 it is fast becoming the default for many new devices being released onto market.

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus and is used to connect peripheral devices such as phones, keyboards, cameras, or printers and scanners. The connection serves to transfer power or data between your computer and a second attachment device so that the latter can perform its task. The USB was created to simplify connection by reducing the number of different connection types.

There are many different types of USB connectors out there and it's easy to get confused. To make it simple, let's split them into two categories: generation 1.0-2.0 and generation 3.0-3.1.

Generation 1.0 - 2.0 connection types include:

• USB A
• USB B
• USB Mini-A
• USB Mini-B
• USB Micro-A
• USB Micro-B

Generation 3.0 - 3.1 connection types include:

• USB A
• USB B
• USB Micro-B
• USB C

You can differentiate between 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 USB connectors by looking at the colour of the plastic inside the connection end. They will be either white, black or blue respectively.

A male connector will fit into a female counterpart.
