Good Connections GC-M0126 USB-A to USB-C Cable — 5 Gbit/s, 0.5 m
USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1)5 Gbit/sUSB charging0.5 m
The Good Connections GC-M0126 is a 0.5 m USB-A to USB-C cable with up to 5 Gbit/s (USB 3.2 Gen 1) data transfer and standard USB charging from the host port, made for anyone connecting a USB-C phone, tablet, drive or accessory to a computer, charger, car socket or hub that has USB-A ports.
At 5 Gbit/s the cable is fast enough for external hard drives, SATA SSD enclosures, USB 3 card readers and most portable storage, so backups and large copies run at the speed of the drive rather than being held back by the cable.
Before you order, check two things: the socket on your device must be USB-C (not Micro-USB or Lightning), and the port you plug into must be USB-A. If both your charger and your device are USB-C, a USB-C to USB-C cable is the better buy because it supports USB Power Delivery.
Before you order: USB-A carries no USB Power Delivery and no video. How fast a device charges depends on the USB-A port or charger you plug into — the cable cannot add watts the port does not supply.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Good Connections USB 3.0 cable, USB-A plug to USB-C plug, 0.5 m, black
What It Means in Practice
- Length 0.5 m: short — tidy on a desk, next to a laptop, power bank or car socket; too short to use a phone comfortably while it charges from a wall socket.
- Charging: standard USB charging from the host port — enough for phones, tablets, earbuds and controllers from a standard USB-A charger or computer port.
- Works with wall chargers, PCs, laptops, car sockets, power banks and USB hubs that have USB-A ports.
- Plug-and-play: no driver needed on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android or iPadOS.
What Will Not Work
- No video: it will not drive a USB-C monitor, portable display or projector — USB-A has no DisplayPort Alt Mode.
- No USB Power Delivery: a USB-C laptop that needs 45–100 W will charge very slowly or not at all from a USB-A port through this cable.
- Not a Thunderbolt or USB4 cable, and it will not turn a USB-A port into a USB-C port for USB-C-only chargers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A half-metre 5 Gbit/s cable is ideal for an external drive or card reader sitting next to the laptop. Good Connections builds it with OFC copper and double shielding, which matters more for stable USB 3 transfers than any marketing label. If you are pairing it with storage, match the cable to the drive — see our external hard drives.
✓ Buy it if you need a short USB 3 cable for a drive, enclosure, reader or USB-C device on a USB-A port.
✕ Skip it if you need 10 Gbit/s for an NVMe SSD or more length.
→ Also consider For a USB-C laptop or a USB-C charger, a USB-C to USB-C cable with Power Delivery; for drives, match the cable speed to the drive.
