What to know before buying

The cable requires a full-size USB-A port at one end and USB-C at the other. It cannot connect to a micro-USB port, and a USB-C-to-USB-C lead may be needed for the fastest charging on devices designed for that connection.

Listing details to confirm

The product listing is inconsistent about transfer-rate units, stating 480Mbps in the feature text but 480 Megabytes Per Second in the details. The compatible-device details also list laptops while the feature notes say laptop charging is unsupported. Treat the stated 15W charging limit and no-Power-Delivery caveat as the relevant use guidance, and confirm device-specific compatibility, especially for fast charging.

Experiences are mixed on charging speed and reliability, including reports of early failures alongside customers reporting no issues.

Mixed feedback

Charging speed is described as fast by some customers and very slow by others.
Reliability feedback varies, with some reporting trouble-free use and others reporting failures within three months.

Frequently asked questions

What connectors does this cable use?

It connects a full-size USB-A port to a USB-C device port. It is not a USB-C-to-USB-C or micro-USB cable.

Can it charge a laptop or use USB Power Delivery?

No. The listing states that it does not support laptop charging or USB Power Delivery fast charging.

How fast can it charge and transfer data?

The manufacturer claims charging up to 15W and data transfer up to 480Mbps in its feature text. The details section gives a conflicting transfer-rate unit, so check the listing if that figure is important.

What comes in the pack?

The title and feature text specify two 6 ft cables. The details list only “cable” as an included component, so check the selected listing for confirmation of the pack contents.
