USB-A to USB-C Charging & Sync Cable Flexline FL31-13040, USB 2.0, ABS, white, 0.5 m

Flexline FL31-13040 is a USB-A to USB-C charging and data-sync cable designed for standard USB 2.0 connections. The 0.5 m cable has ABS housings in a white finish and provides a simple wired solution for charging and transferring files between compatible phones, tablets, power banks and peripherals. It supports the conventional USB 2.0 transfer rate and is intended for everyday charging and synchronization tasks where a short, durable cable is preferred.

Advantages

The cable combines a USB A straight male connector with a USB C straight male connector in a compact 0.5 m length, offering a tidy connection when desk space is limited or when a short reach is needed. ABS connector housings provide basic mechanical protection for the plug ends while the USB 2.0 specification ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of devices. Its white colour and straightforward design make it suitable for both home and office environments.

Suitable for

• Charging smartphones and tablets with a USB-C port from USB-A chargers or power banks
• Transferring files between computers and USB-C devices at USB 2.0 speeds
• Connecting peripherals that use USB-C to hosts with USB-A ports
• Short-distance cable runs where a compact 0.5 m length is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This cable follows the USB 2.0 specification, so it is not intended for applications requiring higher USB transfer rates such as USB 3.x speeds or video output over USB-C. It should not be assumed to provide advanced USB-C functions beyond charging and data transfer specified by USB 2.0. For long cable runs or situations that require heavier mechanical protection or braided jackets, a longer or more rugged cable may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A (straight, male)
• Connector 2: USB C (straight, male)
• USB version: USB 2.0 (data transfer and charging per USB 2.0)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Material of connector housing: ABS
• Colour: White

How to use

Insert the USB-A plug into a compatible USB-A port on a charger, power bank or computer. Insert the USB-C plug into the device that requires charging or data connection. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to establish a reliable electrical contact. For data transfer, confirm that the connected devices recognise each other and follow the operating system prompts to copy or sync files. Disconnect by gently pulling on the connector housings rather than the cable to avoid stressing the cable ends.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that your device accepts USB-C and the host or charger has a USB-A port.
• Confirm that USB 2.0 transfer speeds meet your needs; this cable does not provide higher USB 3.x data rates.
• Consider cable length: 0.5 m is compact and suitable for short-distance connections.
• Assess whether ABS housings and the standard jacket are adequate for your intended durability requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for regular charging and file synchronization between USB-A hosts and USB-C devices. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and store the cable without tight knots to prolong service life.
