USB-A to USB-C Cable HOCO 1 m Black — Data and Charging Cable

HOCO USB-A to USB-C Cable, 1 m Black is a standard-length cable designed for data transfer and charging between devices with USB-A ports and devices equipped with USB-C connectors. The cable features a conventional USB-A plug for connection to computers, wall chargers or car adapters and a reversible USB-C plug that fits modern smartphones, tablets and power banks. It is intended for everyday use: syncing files, charging devices at typical adapter currents and maintaining a reliable link for peripheral connections.

Advantages

The cable combines a compact 1 metre length with a black outer sheath that resists abrasion and tangling. A reversible USB-C connector simplifies insertion without checking orientation, while the USB-A end provides broad compatibility with legacy chargers and host devices. Construction focuses on stable data lanes and steady charging performance for routine tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting smartphones and tablets with USB-C to laptops and desktop PCs with USB-A ports
• Charging USB-C power banks and mobile devices from USB-A wall chargers or car chargers
• Synchronising contacts, photos and media between devices and computers
• Using with peripherals that support USB-C host connections via USB-A adapters

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB-A (standard) to USB-C (reversible)
• Length: 1 metre
• Primary functions: data transfer and device charging
• Colour: black
• Suitable current: typical adapter charging currents (depends on charger and device capabilities)

How to use

Insert the USB-A plug into a compatible host such as a computer USB port, wall charger or car adapter. Insert the USB-C plug into the device’s USB-C port; the reversible design allows insertion in either orientation. For data transfer, ensure the device and computer are powered on and set to the correct connection mode if prompted. For charging, use a charger whose output matches the device’s supported input to achieve expected charging speed. Disconnect by gently pulling on the connector housings rather than the cable to preserve cable integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable with chargers and devices that support compatible charging profiles and observe connector alignment when inserting. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive bending near the connector joints and keep connectors clean and dry. If faster charging or higher power delivery is required, consider a cable and charger pair specifically rated for higher current and power delivery standards.
