Make your older computer, laptop or tablet compatible with newer USB-C devices and peripherals. Tripp Lite’s U428-003-G2 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable has a male USB-A connector on one end for connection to a USB-A computer or other device. The male USB-C connector on the end plugs into a USB-C device, such as a docking station or external hard drive. This three-foot cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps (USB-C port and connected equipment must support 10 Gbps to achieve maximum speed). It has a power output up to 3A for fast charging of mobile devices. The U428-003-G2 is compatible with previous USB generations.

Typical Applications

  • Transfer data from your USB-A computer to your USB-C device.
  • Connect your USB-A computer to a USB-C external hard drive.
  • Charge your USB-C tablet via the USB-A port on your PC or wall charger.

Reversible USB-C for Easy Connections

Unlike traditional USB cables that can be plugged in only one way, USB-C connectors are reversible by design. The male USB-C connector plugs into a USB-C port in either direction, eliminating guesswork and providing a fast, easy connection the first time, every time. The connector is also compatible with Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Superior Construction and Lifetime Warranty

Premium shielding delivers reliable, error-free signal quality and protection from EMI/RFI line noise that can damage data. Molded nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure excellent conductivity. A flexible PVC jacket and integral strain reliefs provide durability for long service life.

The U428-003-G2 comes with a limited lifetime warranty. It’s manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
