Cavo USB UNITEK U304A USB 3.2 Gen 1 5m USB-C a USB-A grigio

The UNITEK U304A USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable is a 5 metre USB-C to USB-A data cable designed for reliable wired connections between modern devices and legacy USB-A hosts. Supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) the cable provides data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s. The construction includes magnetic shielding and nickel-plated contacts to reduce interference and improve contact durability. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for home, office or studio environments.

Advantages

The cable delivers up to 5 Gbit/s data throughput for fast file transfers and device synchronization while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts. Magnetic shielding helps suppress electromagnetic interference for more stable signal integrity over the full 5 m length. Nickel-plated contacts increase resistance to corrosion and frequent plugging cycles. With a USB-C connector on one end and a USB-A connector on the other, the cable connects newer mobile devices, SSDs and peripherals to a wide range of existing computers and chargers.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C smartphones, tablets or external SSDs to computers with USB-A ports
• Transferring large files, backups and media between devices
• Using with docking stations, hubs and printers that accept USB-A input
• Temporary or fixed cable runs where a 5 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB-C
• Connector 2: USB-A
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 5 m
• Shielding: magnetic shielding for EMI reduction
• Contacts: nickel-plated
• Colour: grey

How to use

Plug the USB-C connector into the device that accepts USB-C and the USB-A connector into the host computer, charger or hub. For optimal data transfer, ensure both the host and the connected device support USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds; when connected to older USB ports the cable will negotiate a lower compatible speed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy compression to preserve signal integrity and mechanical longevity. No special drivers are usually required for standard mass-storage and peripheral connections.

Recommendations

Use the cable for direct device-to-host data transfers and for connecting external storage or peripherals where a 5 m length is needed. Avoid coiling the cable tightly during use, keep connectors clean and dry, and disconnect by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling the cable to extend service life.
