USB Type A to Type C Cable 5ft OMNIHIL Professional UL Certified RoHS

Description

Product Overview

The OMNIHIL 5ft USB Type A to Type C cable is designed to bridge the gap between legacy USB‑A ports and modern USB‑C devices, delivering a reliable conduit for data and power. Engineered specifically for the Crucial X9 1TB portable SSD, the cable ensures that users can transfer large files quickly without compromising signal integrity. Its universal compatibility extends to any USB‑A host such as desktop computers, laptops, gaming consoles, and docking stations, while the USB‑C connector fits the latest generation of smartphones, tablets, and ultrabooks. By adhering to the USB 3.1 Gen 1 standard, the cable supports up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds, making it suitable for high‑resolution video, extensive backups, and rapid content creation workflows.

The cable’s construction combines a high‑quality, oxygen‑free copper conductor with a double‑shielded, foil‑wrapped braid to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain consistent performance over its full five‑foot length. Each connector is encased in a robust, nickel‑plated housing that resists corrosion and wear, while the flexible PVC jacket provides both bend resistance and tactile comfort. OMNIHIL has secured UL certification and RoHS compliance for this product, confirming that it meets rigorous safety and environmental standards. These certifications guarantee that the cable is free from hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, and that it has passed fire‑resistance testing, offering peace of mind for both personal and professional environments.

The five‑foot (1.5 meter) length strikes a balance between reach and portability, allowing users to connect devices that are positioned across a desk without creating excess slack that could tangle or snag. The cable’s impedance is carefully matched to the USB‑C specification, ensuring stable voltage delivery for both data and charging functions. In practical testing, the cable consistently achieves near‑maximum throughput when paired with the Crucial X9 SSD, reducing transfer times for multi‑gigabyte files by up to 30 percent compared with lower‑grade alternatives. Its flexible yet sturdy design also tolerates repeated bending cycles, making it well‑suited for mobile professionals who frequently pack and unpack their gear.

The product ships in a compact, recyclable cardboard box that includes the cable coiled neatly to prevent kinks, a brief user guide, and a QR code linking to online support resources. No additional adapters or converters are required, as the cable provides a direct, plug‑and‑play connection between USB‑A and USB‑C ports. The packaging also highlights the UL and RoHS certifications, reinforcing the cable’s compliance with industry safety standards. For users who need to manage multiple devices, the cable’s color‑coded connectors—standard black for the USB‑A end and a sleek silver for the USB‑C end—aid quick identification and reduce the chance of accidental mis‑plugging.

The cable’s electrical characteristics are engineered to meet the USB‑C specification, featuring a characteristic impedance of 90 Ω and a capacitance of 30 pF per meter, which together ensure minimal signal distortion across the full five‑foot span. The double‑shielded braid, combined with an overall foil shield, provides a shielding effectiveness of over 30 dB, effectively rejecting external electromagnetic interference from nearby power lines and wireless devices. The connectors are gold‑plated to reduce contact resistance and corrosion, supporting stable voltage delivery for both data and power. These specifications are validated through compliance testing in accordance with IEC 60950‑1 and IEC 62368‑1 standards, confirming that the cable can safely operate in a variety of electrical environments.

Usage

The 5ft OMNIHIL cable is an ideal companion for the Crucial X9 1TB portable SSD, enabling fast, on‑the‑go backups of photos, videos, and project files. Professionals such as photographers, videographers, and field engineers can connect the SSD directly to a laptop or desktop equipped with a USB‑A port, offloading data without the need for an external hub. Because the cable maintains high data integrity, large media files transfer without corruption, ensuring that critical work is preserved accurately. The length provides enough slack to reach a workstation across a desk while keeping the cable manageable for transport in a laptop bag or backpack.

Beyond SSDs, the cable serves as a versatile bridge for a wide range of peripherals, including external hard drives, USB flash drives, and audio interfaces that still rely on USB‑A connections. Users can attach the USB‑C end to modern laptops, tablets, or even smartphones that support USB‑C OTG, turning legacy accessories into functional tools for current hardware. This flexibility is especially valuable in mixed‑environment offices where both older and newer devices coexist, reducing the need for multiple adapters and simplifying cable management. The cable’s sturdy construction also withstands frequent plugging and unplugging, a common scenario in collaborative workspaces and shared labs.

In travel scenarios, the 5ft length offers enough reach to connect a laptop to a hotel room’s USB‑A power outlet while keeping the cable out of the way of other equipment. Musicians and audio producers can link USB‑C enabled audio mixers to legacy USB‑A controllers, ensuring seamless integration during recording sessions. Likewise, office workers can use the cable to connect docking stations, printers, and scanners that have not yet transitioned to USB‑C, extending the lifespan of existing hardware investments. The cable’s lightweight profile and durable jacket make it suitable for inclusion in travel kits, tech toolboxes, and corporate IT inventories.

In creative studio environments, the cable becomes a reliable link between high‑resolution cameras, audio recorders, and USB‑C enabled editing workstations. Photographers can attach a USB‑A enabled flash drive to a USB‑C laptop for quick image offload, while video editors can stream 4K footage directly from external drives without latency. The cable’s robust construction tolerates the frequent repositioning required during set changes, and its 5‑foot reach accommodates larger studio layouts where devices may be spaced apart. Additionally, the cable’s ability to carry up to 3 A of charging current allows it to power compatible peripherals, reducing the need for separate power adapters during intensive production sessions.
