Keep Your USB-A Chargers — Power Any USB-C Device
Stop replacing wall chargers, car adapters, and power banks every time you upgrade your phone. This cable bridges your existing USB-A power infrastructure to modern USB-C smartphones, tablets, headphones, and accessories — delivering up to 3A (15W) at 5V from any standard USB-A port. Works with the wall charger you already own, the USB hub on your desk, and the USB-A port in your car.
Built to Charge Safely — 56kΩ Resistor + Shielded Wire
Without a proper 56kΩ pull-up resistor, some USB-A to USB-C cables can over-draw current and damage devices — this cable uses the resistor specified by USB-IF to limit current to a safe 3A maximum. Inside, shielded conductors suppress interference, and copper conductors delivers stable current without voltage drop. Fully molded connectors with reinforced strain relief.
Wide Device Compatibility — Not for Power Delivery (PD)
Works with Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus, iPad USB-C, Chromebook, Switch, Steam Deck, and GoPro. Quick check: USB-A charger to USB-C phone — Yes. USB-A laptop port to tablet — Yes, slow charge. PD fast charging — No. Laptop charging above 15W — No. For PD charging, use a USB-C to USB-C 60W+ cable.
Reversible USB-C Plug — Built for Daily Use
The USB-C end plugs in either way — no fumbling in the dark or upside-down attempts. Standard USB-A end fits any host port, charger, or hub. Built with shielded copper conductors and fully molded strain relief at both connector ends for repeated daily plugging. Designed for daily life: tossed in backpacks, plugged into car chargers, wrapped around power banks.
Sample-Tested Production — Cable Leader Direct Support
Each cable is sample-tested during production for continuity, current rating, and data integrity. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards (lead, mercury, and cadmium-free). If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly — no manufacturer redirects.
