FAQ

What is a USB-A to USB-C cable?

It’s a cable with a USB-C connector on one end and a USB-A connector on the other, allowing devices with USB-C ports to connect to devices with USB-A ports.

Can USB-A to USB-C cables support fast charging?

Yes, but only if the cable and charger support fast-charging protocols like Qualcomm Quick Charge or USB Power Delivery (USB PD).

Do USB-A to USB-C cables support video?

Most USB-A to USB-C cables do not support video output, as USB-A ports typically lack the necessary Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) capabilities for video transmission. For video output over USB-C, a USB-C to USB-C cable connected to a device with DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt support is usually required.

What are the typical uses of USB-A to USB-C cables?

They are commonly used for charging devices, transferring data between devices, and connecting USB-C devices to older USB-A ports.

Can a USB-A to USB-C cable connect to Thunderbolt ports?

Yes, but the cable will only support USB speeds and functionality, not Thunderbolt speeds or features.

How do I choose the best USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer?

To choose the best USB-A to USB-C cable, consider the cable’s power output (wattage) for fast charging, data transfer speed (e.g., USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0), and build quality. Look for cables with reinforced connectors and proper shielding for safety and durability.
