UGREEN US287 USB-A to USB-C Cable 1M – Black | 60116

The UGREEN US287 (60116) is a 1-metre USB-A to USB-C cable engineered for reliable everyday charging and data synchronisation between standard USB-A chargers, power banks, and computers and any USB-C device. Built with tinned copper conductors, aluminium foil shielding, a 56kΩ pull-up resistor for safe device identification, nickel-plated connectors, and 10,000+ bend cycle durability testing — the US287 is UGREEN's everyday workhorse USB-A to USB-C cable, trusted across millions of devices worldwide.

USB 2.0 — 480Mbps DATA TRANSFER + 3A FAST CHARGING

The US287 operates on the USB 2.0 standard — delivering:

- Up to 480Mbps data transfer speed: sufficient for photo sync, music transfer, app backup, and document file transfer between USB-C devices and computers or chargers with USB-A ports

- Up to 3A current (18W max): fast charging compatible with QC 3.0, QC 2.0, Samsung AFC, and Huawei FCP protocols — delivering the fastest safe charge rate the connected charger and device support

Note: The US287 is a USB 2.0 cable — data transfer is capped at 480Mbps. For USB 3.0/3.2 SuperSpeed (5Gbps+) data transfer, a USB-A 3.x to USB-C cable is required. For everyday charging and standard file sync, 480Mbps is fully adequate.

56kΩ PULL-UP RESISTOR — SAFE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION

The US287 integrates a 56kΩ pull-up resistor on the USB-C connector — a critical safety component that communicates the cable's current-carrying capability to the connected charger and device. The 56kΩ resistor tells the power source that the cable is rated for standard current draw — preventing overcurrent situations where a high-power charger might attempt to push more current than the cable or device can safely handle. Without a properly rated pull-up resistor (a common omission on low-quality USB-C cables), damage to connected devices is possible.

3A FAST CHARGING — MULTI-PROTOCOL SUPPORT

The US287 supports all major USB-A fast charging protocols:

- Quick Charge 3.0 / QC 2.0: Qualcomm-chipset Android devices

- Samsung AFC (Adaptive Fast Charge): Samsung Galaxy series

- Huawei FCP (Fast Charge Protocol): Huawei/Honor devices

- Huawei SCP (SuperCharge): Huawei high-speed charging

Fast charging speed is determined by the connected charger's output capability and the device's charge acceptance rate — the US287 delivers up to 3A / 18W within the USB 2.0 power specification.

TINNED COPPER CONDUCTORS + ALUMINIUM FOIL SHIELDING

The US287's internal construction is engineered for signal integrity and long-term reliability:

- Tinned copper conductors: copper strands with a tin coating that prevents oxidation at the conductor surface — maintaining low resistance and consistent conductivity throughout the cable's lifespan, unlike bare copper conductors that develop surface oxide and increase resistance over time

- Aluminium foil shielding: wraps the signal and power conductors to block electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby power cables, chargers, and electronic devices — ensuring clean, stable data transmission without packet errors or charge interruption

NICKEL-PLATED CONNECTORS — CORROSION RESISTANCE

Both USB-A and USB-C connector contacts are nickel-plated — providing a harder, more corrosion-resistant surface than bare copper or tin-plated contacts. Nickel plating maintains consistent electrical contact across thousands of insertion and extraction cycles without the contact oxidation that degrades bare metal connectors over time in humid or variable-temperature environments.

10,000+ BEND CYCLE DURABILITY

The US287 cable assembly is tested to withstand over 10,000 bend cycles at the most common failure points — connector-to-cable junctions (both ends) where cable flex stress concentrates during daily use. The PVC jacket and internal reinforcement distribute bending stress across the cable body rather than individual conductors — preventing the internal wire fracture and intermittent connection that characterises lower-quality cables at these junction points.

BROAD DEVICE COMPATIBILITY

Connects any USB-A power source (charger, power bank, PC, laptop) to any USB-C device:

- Smartphones: Samsung Galaxy S25/S24/S23/S22 and all prior USB-C Galaxy models, Xiaomi, Huawei, OnePlus, Motorola, Google Pixel, iPhone 15/16 (USB-C)

- Tablets: iPad Pro (USB-C), iPad Air (USB-C), Samsung Galaxy Tab series

- Audio: UGREEN earphones, wireless earbuds cases, Bluetooth speakers

- Gaming: Nintendo Switch, ASUS ROG Ally (charging), Steam Deck (charging)

- Accessories: Power banks (USB-C input), Bluetooth headsets, smartwatches

- Computers: Any USB-C laptop for data sync (not video/power delivery — USB-A source required on computer)
