Manhattan 354974 USB-C to USB-A Cable 2m Plug to Plug

The Manhattan USB-C to USB-A Cable (Male to Male, 2 m) connects USB Type-C devices to USB Type-A ports for data transfer and charging. Compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also listed as USB 3.1 Gen 1), it supports data rates up to 5 Gbps and delivers up to 3 A of current. The cable features nickel-plated contacts, magnetic shielding and fully moulded boots with strain relief in a black finish; it is suitable for use with Windows and Mac systems and includes a lifetime warranty.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbps and supports 3 A charging current for faster device charging. Nickel-plated contacts and shielding improve conductivity and reduce electromagnetic interference, while fully moulded boots with strain relief increase durability and help prevent connector damage during repeated use. The 2 m length offers flexible reach for desktop or mobile setups.

How to use

Plug the USB-C male connector into the USB-C port of your device and insert the USB-A male connector into a USB-A port on a computer, power adapter or peripheral. For data transfer, allow the host system (Windows or Mac) to recognise the connected device and follow any on-screen prompts. For charging, ensure the USB-A power source supports the required current; the cable will carry up to 3 A. Disconnect by grasping the molded connector housing rather than pulling the cable to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable with compatible USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports to achieve full 5 Gbps data rates. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to maintain signal integrity. The cable is suitable for everyday data transfer and charging tasks but does not change the charging protocol — charging speed also depends on the connected adapter and device capabilities.
