USB-A to USB-C data cable EATON MTC-501M 5 m red

The EATON MTC-501M is a 5 m USB-A to USB-C data cable in red designed to connect devices with USB-C ports to hosts with USB-A ports. It combines a long cable length with data transmission and charging capability, enabling connections between desktop computers, laptops, chargers and various peripherals where a greater reach is required. The cable’s red jacket provides easy visibility and helps distinguish it from shorter or other-purpose cables.

Advantages

This USB-A to USB-C cable supports simultaneous data transfer and power delivery over a 5-metre length, reducing the need to reposition equipment. The extended length allows flexible device placement while maintaining a reliable wired connection. The cable’s construction is suitable for frequent plugging and unplugging, and the coloured outer sheath improves identification in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones, tablets or peripherals with USB-C ports to computers or chargers with USB-A ports
• Desk and workstation setups where devices are positioned farther from USB-A hosts
• Device syncing and file transfers that require a stable wired connection over longer distances
• Charging devices from USB-A power sources when cable length is a priority

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB-A (host) to USB-C (device)
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Colour: red
• Functions: data transfer and charging
• Suitable for use with desktop PCs, laptops, chargers and USB-C peripherals

How to use

Insert the USB-A connector into an available USB-A port on a host device such as a computer or charger, and connect the USB-C end to the target device. Ensure connectors are oriented correctly and fully seated to establish a stable connection. For data synchronization, wait for the host device to recognize the connected device and follow on-screen prompts if device drivers or permissions are required. When charging, monitor device charge indicators to confirm power delivery.

Usage recommendations

Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable or bending it sharply near the connectors to prolong service life. For best performance, use with compatible USB-A ports and devices that support the intended data transfer and charging modes; if high-speed data protocols or specific power profiles are required, verify compatibility with your host and device.
