EATON MTC-500 is a 5 m USB-A to USB-C cable in blue designed for data transfer and device charging. The cable connects devices with a USB-C port to hosts with a USB-A port, offering extended reach for desks, workstations and home setups. It is suitable for smartphones, tablets, power banks and various peripherals that use USB-C connectivity.

Advantages

The cable provides a 5-metre length that allows flexible placement of devices without the need for an adapter or close proximity to the host. It supports both data transfer and charging over a single connection, reducing cable clutter. The blue jacket improves visibility and identification among other cables, while standard USB-A and USB-C connectors ensure broad compatibility with many consumer devices and accessories.

How to use

Insert the USB-A connector into a compatible USB-A host port such as a computer, laptop or USB-A wall charger. Insert the USB-C connector into the device to be charged or synchronized. Ensure both connectors are fully seated. Data transfer and charging will initiate according to the host and device capabilities; monitor device indicators to confirm operation. Disconnect by gently pulling the connector bodies, not the cable, to avoid strain.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable within safe bend radius limits and avoid sharp kinks. When charging high-power devices, confirm the host or charger supports the required current. Store the cable coiled without tight knots and keep connectors clean and dry to maintain reliable connections.
