FAQs about USB-A Cables

Are USB-A cables compatible with iPhone?

If you possess a Lightning-equipped iPhone, Anker’s USB-A-to-Lightning cables, like Anker 321, will work fine to connect it. The MFi certification means that these cables are designed to work seamlessly with the iPhone, so you can charge and sync without worry.

What is the difference between USB-A and USB-C cables?

USB-A is the block-type connector usually found on power adapters, computers, and older devices. USB-A is considered a non-modern version, USB-C being modern, reversible, and therefore capable of supporting the High Data Transfer Rate and Power Delivery. Actually, charging high-power-consuming devices with the use of USB-C is facilitated at a fast rate, while USB-A remains the widely used and compatible option when it comes to chargers and power banks, since they have connectors designed for USB-A.

Can I use a USB-A cable for fast charging my phone?

A significant number of Anker's USB-A cables are the ones able to support fast charging. One of these is the Anker 322 USB-A to USB-C cable, which supports 15 W (3 A / 5 V) of fast charging max. However, it is not as speedy as going to USB-C Power Delivery settings; hence, the charging speed can be more limited when compared with USB-C to USB-C fast charging.

Do USB-A cables support fast data transfer?

Fast data transfers are possible with them; however, the speed will be different according to the USB standard. Most of the USB-A ports that Anker’s 322 has support USB 2.0 data transfer, which allows a 480 Mbps speed. This speed is sufficient for normal file syncing (pictures, documents), but it is not as fast as that offered by newer USB-C or USB 3.x standards.

How do I choose the right USB-A cable for my device?

To choose the right USB-A cable, you need to consider the following factors:
  1. Connector type: Make sure one end matches your device — USB-C (Android/new phones) or Lightning (older iPhones).
  2. Power needs: If you want fast charging, check the cable’s rated current (e.g. 3 A for 15 W).
  3. Data vs charging: If you frequently sync files, choose a cable that supports data transfer (like the 322 model).
  4. Durability: Anker’s USB-A cables (e.g. braided nylon) are built to last through thousands of bends.
  5. Length: Pick a length that’s convenient for how you charge — short for desks, longer for travel.

Are USB-A cables safe to use for charging?

Anker's USB-A cables adhere to the USB-IF standards and have safety as their primary concern. The 322 cable, for instance, not only undergoes rigorous testing, but it also ensures speedy charging during the process and lasts due to its being made of strong materials. In addition, the Anker charging technology maintains a steady current flow and offers protection, thus discouraging the occurrence of overheating or short-circuiting significantly.
