lalasis USB-A to USB-C Cable, 0.3 m, 10 Gbit/s, 3A Fast Charging

Some connections call for a neat, short cable, others put fast file transfers first. This lalasis USB-A to USB-C cable combines both in a 0.3 m lead. Use it to connect compatible devices for data transfer or charging, with a braided nylon exterior for everyday handling.

Key takeaways

The cable supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s when connected to a USB 3.2/3.1 Gen 2 output port. That makes it useful for moving files between a computer and a compatible external SSD, or transferring content to another supported USB-C device. It is also backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, so it can connect with those standards at their respective speeds.

For charging, it supports up to 3A through a USB-A connection. The USB-A plug connects to a suitable charger or computer, while the USB-C plug connects to the device. Listed compatible devices include selected iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models, iPad Pro, MacBook, Google Pixel phones, LG phones, external portable USB-C SSDs and PS5 controllers. The cable does not support video output, so it is intended for charging and data rather than sending a display signal.

Quick sizing guide

At 0.3 m, this cable is suited to close connections where keeping excess cable out of the way is useful, such as linking nearby devices on a desk. It can keep a direct connection between a computer and an external SSD tidy, or connect a phone to a nearby USB-A charger. If reach is the main priority, a longer cable may better suit that setup, this one is centred on a compact connection.

Getting the most from it

For the stated maximum transfer rate, connect the cable to a USB-A output port that supports USB 3.2/3.1 Gen 2, and use it with a compatible USB-C device. Transfer speed also follows the USB standard supported by the connected devices: USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connections remain supported, at their respective rates. For charging, pair it with a USB-A power source and a compatible USB-C device, the cable supports up to 3A.

The woven nylon braid is designed to resist tangling and wear, while the aluminium housing adds a sturdy finish around the connectors. Plug-and-play operation keeps everyday use straightforward: connect the USB-A end to the source and the USB-C end to the device. It suits you if you want a short cable for nearby charging or file transfers, rather than a lead chosen mainly for extra reach.

Is it worth it?

This cable brings together a compact 0.3 m length, up to 10 Gbit/s data transfer and up to 3A charging in one USB-A to USB-C connection. It is a practical fit for compatible phones, tablets, computers, controllers and portable SSDs when the devices are close together. Choose it for a tidy link between a USB-A source and a USB-C device, with the added flexibility of both charging and data transfer.
