USB-A to USB-C cable Baseus Cafule 0.5 m USB 2.0 0.48 Gbit/s QC3.0 support black

Baseus Cafule USB-A to USB-C cable, 0.5 m, is a compact connection cable designed for everyday charging and data synchronization between computers, power adapters and USB-C mobile devices. The cable uses the USB 2.0 standard with a maximum data transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s and supports Quick Charge 3.0 charging profile for faster charging when paired with compatible chargers and devices. Its short 0.5 m length and black finish make it suitable for desktop, travel and compact charging setups.

Advantages

The Baseus Cafule cable offers reliable basic data transfer and charging in a small, easy-to-manage form factor. Support for QC3.0 enables higher charging current with compatible adapters, while the USB-C connector ensures compatibility with modern phones, tablets and accessories. The half-metre length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for near-field connections between a laptop and a phone or for use with portable chargers.

Suitable for

• Charging smartphones, tablets and other USB-C devices from USB-A chargers or power banks
• Data synchronization and file transfers between a computer with USB-A port and a USB-C device (up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Use on desks, in cars or while traveling where a short cable is preferable

When it may not be suitable

This cable implements the USB 2.0 specification and a maximum data rate of 0.48 Gbit/s, so it is not suitable where faster USB 3.x data transfer speeds are required, such as high-speed external drives or video streaming over USB. It also does not provide power delivery at higher PD voltages; for high-wattage laptop charging you should choose a cable and charger that explicitly support USB Power Delivery.

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB-A to USB-C
• USB version: USB 2.0
• Maximum data transfer rate: 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Charging profile: Supports Quick Charge 3.0

How to use

Plug the USB-A end into a computer, wall charger or power bank with a USB-A port and insert the USB-C end into your device’s USB-C receptacle. For faster charging using Quick Charge 3.0, pair the cable with a QC3.0-capable adapter and a compatible device. For data synchronization, ensure the connected computer recognises the device and use your operating system’s file transfer tools. Disconnect by gently removing connectors; avoid pulling the cable by the cord to prolong service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data transfer speed versus USB 2.0 maximum (0.48 Gbit/s)
• Need for high-power charging or USB Power Delivery compatibility
• Preferred cable length (0.5 m is short and intended for near-field use)
• Compatibility with device connector type (USB-C on the device, USB-A on the charger/computer)

Usage recommendations

Use the Baseus Cafule 0.5 m cable for short-distance charging and routine data sync. Pair with a QC3.0 charger to benefit from faster charging on supported devices, and avoid using it as the primary solution for high-speed data transfers or high-wattage laptop charging.
