Deliver power and basic data connectivity where short reach matters. This 1 ft StarTech USB-A to USB-C cable is built for USB-C devices that need charging from a USB-A wall adapter, hub, or power bank without excess cable clutter. It supports 3A output for up to 15 W charging and USB 2.0 data rates for routine syncing and device management. The cable uses nickel-plated connectors, molded strain relief, and a TPE outer jacket to handle repeated connection cycles in professional environments. An aluminum braided shield helps reduce EMI, which matters when the cable runs near other powered equipment. At 30 cm, it is ideal for tight workspaces where longer cables create unnecessary slack and strain. This model is a practical fit when you need a compact, spec-defined USB-A to USB-C connection rather than a generic charging lead. It is not intended for USB-C video over DisplayPort Alt Mode, so the value is in reliable charge-and-sync performance, not display output. For teams standardizing accessories across desks, carts, and service kits, it offers the right balance of length, durability, and electrical capability.
