A USB 2.0 cable with a reversible USB-A plug on one end and USB-C on the other. The USB-A connector has been modified to insert in either orientation — just like USB-C — eliminating the usual trial-and-error of plugging in a USB-A cable.
The cable is thin and flexible, making it well suited for embedded projects, USB-to-serial connections, and microcontroller programming. It supports USB 2.0 data speeds and up to 2 A charging with minimal voltage drop.
Key Features
- Reversible USB-A Plug – Inserts in either orientation
- USB-C Connector – Standard USB-C on the device end
- USB 2.0 Data – D+/D- data lines for standard USB 2.0 speeds
- 2 A Rated – Large-gauge VBUS/GND wires for charging and power delivery
- 0.8 m Length – Compact and flexible for bench and embedded use
Ideal For
- Programming and powering microcontrollers with USB-C
- USB-to-serial connections
- Charging USB-C devices from USB-A ports
- Compact builds where cable flexibility matters
Package Contents
- 1× Reversible USB-A to USB-C Cable (0.8 m)
