Overview

The Player One USB2.0 Type-C to Type-A Cable is a 2-metre data lead with a USB Type-C connector at the device end and a USB Type-A connector at the host end. It is made from high-quality black braided wire for durability and a clean feel. Running at USB2.0 speed, it connects a USB-C camera or accessory to a computer's Type-A port.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you have a device with a USB-C port and a computer with a standard Type-A port, and you want a durable braided lead for the connection.

Key Features & Design

  • 2-metre length: reaches from a camera or accessory on the scope to a computer at the mount or pier.
  • Type-C to Type-A connectors: a USB-C device end and a standard Type-A host end.
  • Braided construction: high-quality black braided wire that resists tangling and wear.

Recommended Uses

Connecting a USB-C camera or accessory to a Type-A computer port for control and data during astrophotography, and as a spare in a travel or observatory kit.

Compatibility & Accessory Notes

The cable pairs a USB Type-C device port with a USB Type-A host port and runs at USB2.0 speed. If your device or host uses different USB connectors, send us the models and we will point you to the right lead.

Good to Know Before You Order

  • USB2.0 speed: throughput is lower than USB3.x, which matters most for large frames or high frame rates; for a USB2.0 device it is the correct match.
  • Type-C to Type-A: one end is USB-C and the other is standard Type-A, so both ports need to match your setup.
  • Fixed 2-metre length: this listing is the 2-metre lead, with no other length option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No — the Type-C end plugs into the device and the Type-A end into the computer; the Type-C connector is reversible.

What is it best used for?

A USB2.0 data and control connection between a USB-C camera or accessory and a Type-A computer port.

What is the difference from the USB3.2 version?

This lead runs at USB2.0 speed. For a device that supports faster transfer, the Type-C to Type-A USB3.2 (10Gbps) cable is the match.

Will it fit my setup?

If your device has a USB-C port and your computer a Type-A port, yes. Send us the models and we will check first.

Bottom Line

In short: a 2-metre USB2.0 Type-C to Type-A lead in durable braided wire, for connecting a USB-C camera or accessory to a Type-A computer port.
