Product details
The Xiaomi 3A USB-A to USB-C Cable provides a one-metre lead for connecting compatible USB-C devices to a USB-A power source or computer port. One end uses USB-A and the other uses USB-C, so check that these connector types suit your charger and device. The White cable has a straightforward finish for a desk, bedside charging point or a travel setup where the source equipment provides a USB-A connection.
Xiaomi specifies a rated current of 3A and support for BC1.2 and QC charging protocols. The available charging rate depends on the power source, device and supported charging mode. A cable rating does not establish the output of a particular charger or the power a device can accept. Use a compatible power source and follow the device manufacturer’s charging requirements. The USB-A end is an important part of this cable’s connection type when comparing it with a lead that has USB-C at both ends.
The data connection is listed as USB 2.0, with a transmission speed of 480Mbps. Connect compatible equipment to transfer supported files, allowing for the performance of the computer and connected device. The listed data rate is the cable’s published specification; actual transfer results depend on the setup and the files being moved. Check the connection required for your intended task before choosing a cable, particularly when the equipment calls for a different port type or data capability.
The published outer materials are TPE and stainless steel. Xiaomi lists a cable diameter of 3.4mm and a weight of 22.7g without the box, so the stated weight refers to the cable itself. Its one-metre length is suited to devices placed near the charger or computer. Position the equipment so the lead reaches without being stretched. Leave space at each connector, and grip the connector when unplugging instead of pulling the cable. Keep the contacts clean and dry and avoid sharply bending the lead near either end. Store it in a gentle loop when it is not connected.
