USB A to USB C cable Baseus CATYS-A02 — 2 m, white, 0.48 Gbit/s data

Baseus CATYS-A02 is a 2 m white USB A to USB C cable designed for charging and data transfer between devices with USB-A ports and modern USB-C devices. The cable offers a standard data transfer rate up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features a reversible USB-C connector and a rectangular USB-A plug for compatibility with many chargers, computers and power banks. Its two-metre length provides extended reach for desktop setups, sofa charging or in-car use when the host device is at a distance.

Advantages

The cable combines a simple white design with a practical 2 m length, allowing flexible placement of connected devices. It supports standard USB data speeds suitable for syncing contacts, photos and smaller file transfers while also carrying power for charging smartphones, tablets and portable accessories. The presence of a USB A connector on one end and USB C on the other ensures broad compatibility with legacy USB-A chargers and modern USB-C devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Charging smartphones, tablets and power banks from USB-A chargers or computers
• Syncing and transferring files between a computer with USB-A and a USB-C device at up to 0.48 Gbit/s
• Home, office or travel use where a longer cable run (2 m) is beneficial
• Connecting peripherals such as USB-C headphones or accessories to USB-A hosts

When it may not be suitable

This cable supports standard USB data transfer speeds up to 0.48 Gbit/s and is not intended for high-speed USB 3.x or Thunderbolt-level transfers. It also does not advertise support for higher-power fast charging protocols beyond what a typical USB-A port can deliver; therefore, it may not provide the fastest possible charging with chargers that rely on newer USB-C power-delivery standards.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (one end) to USB C (other end)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Colour: White
• Data transfer speed: up to 0.48 Gbit/s

How to use

Plug the USB A end into a compatible USB-A port on a charger, computer or power bank. Insert the USB C end into the device you wish to charge or sync. For data transfer, ensure the host device recognises the connected device and use the appropriate file transfer software or operating system dialog to copy files. Use the cable on flat surfaces and avoid sharp bends near the connectors to prolong its service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your charger or computer has a USB-A port if you need to charge from those sources
• Confirm that the 0.48 Gbit/s data rate meets your file transfer needs; larger transfers will take longer than on higher-speed cables
• Consider whether you need higher charging power or USB-C-to-USB-C connectivity for fast charging or faster data protocols

Usage recommendations

For reliable daily use, avoid exposing the cable to repeated sharp bends, keep connectors free of debris, and unplug by gripping the plug rather than pulling the cable. Use the 2 m length to position devices comfortably while charging or syncing but coil excess cable neatly to prevent tangling.
