Hama 1.5m USB-A to USB-C Flexible Silicone Charging Cable (Black)
Product description
A charging cable is one of those small purchases you only notice when it’s awkward, tangly, or wears out too quickly. This Hama USB-A to USB-C cable is designed around daily convenience: it’s flexible, has a soft-touch silicone feel, and is meant for charging and syncing USB-C devices.
Key takeaways
If you want a practical USB-A to USB-C lead for charging your phone or tablet, this one is easy to think about. The silicone outer is the standout on paper because it’s aimed at reducing the “grabby” stiffness that often leads to messy cables. It also positions itself as a fast-charging cable when paired with a fast charger, so it’s better than a purely basic lead if you tend to use chargers that support speed.
That said, it’s still a cable first and the real-world charging speed depends heavily on your charger and device support. In other words, it can’t magically make a slow setup fast—so it’s not the choice if you’re chasing guaranteed maximum speeds in every scenario.
Where it shines in everyday use
The silicone cable sheath is built to feel pleasant and stay flexible. For day-to-day life, that usually means fewer knots in your bag and less fiddling when you’re plugging in at home, at your desk, or in the kitchen.
A simple example: imagine you’re charging your mobile while getting ready. A standard stiff cable can fight you as you move around. With this flexible silicone design, it should be easier to route from a bedside plug to your phone without the constant “spring back”.
Charging and syncing: what you can realistically expect
This cable is described as suitable for both charging and syncing smartphones and tablets with a USB-C port. That makes it a reasonable pick if you do more than just power up—think transferring files or syncing data when you need to.
For charging, it’s framed as a fast charging cable when used with a fast charger, reaching “maximum speed” in combination. The wording is optimistic by nature, so it’s worth keeping expectations tied to your existing charger setup.

What to consider before you buy
It looks like a straightforward, widely compatible cable for USB-C devices. Still, compatibility in practice depends on your device having a USB-C port and your charging method using USB-A on the power source side.
Also, if you already know you only ever need charging (not syncing), you might not need to weigh syncing capability too much—though it’s included here anyway. The bigger decision is whether you’ll value the flexible silicone feel more than a typical plastic-sheathed cable.
Finally, while it’s marketed for fast charging with the right charger, you shouldn’t expect full speed benefits unless your phone and charger both support it.
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you want a 1.5m USB-A to USB-C charging and syncing cable with a flexible silicone sheath designed to feel softer and stay less tangled. It suits everyday use—home charging, desk setups, and charging on the move—especially if you already use a fast charger.
You may want to skip it if you’re specifically trying to get peak charging performance from an incompatible charger, or if your main priority is something like a very short cable for one fixed socket (where flexibility and length may be less important).
If you like the idea of a cable that’s easier to handle and route without constant tangles, this one fits the brief. If you need absolute performance guarantees regardless of your charger/device, you’ll want to double-check what your devices actually support.
