IOGEAR Charge and Sync Flip Pro-USB-C to Reversible USB-A Cable, 3.3 Feet G2LU3CAM01-WT

Usb type-c has the capability of integrating charge, sync, video and USB functions into a single port, but with all change, comes a period of transition. IOGEAR's charge and sync flip pro, USB-C to reversible USB-A cable, makes this transition easier by allowing you to connect all your USB-C devices such as the new MacBook and Chromebook pixel to standard USB-A devices. USB type-c is the latest universal standard in connectivity. If you've purchased the 2015 apple MacBook or 2015 Chromebook pixel [2], then you know that both feature USB-C technology. Compared to earlier generations of USB connectors, USB-C has a slim profile connector to support ultra-thin laptops and tablets. Although USB-C has a low-profile design, it packs a big punch when it comes to speed and power, boasting data transmission speeds of up to 10gbps and power transmission of up to 100w. And best of all, it's reversible to allow hassle-free connecting. The new standard fixes the age-old problem of connecting your USB in the wrong way, eliminating the frustration of fumbling with the USB plug when connecting it to a computer. If you have purchased a new USB-C laptop or device, you are probably having a hard time using it with your other standard USB devices (hard drives, chargers, etc.). With the charge and sync flip pro, USB-C to reversible USB-A cable, you'll be able to do just that. The cable supports data transfer as well as charging output rates of up to 3a. With this cable, your USB-A devices are now compatible with USB-C ports. *Not all mobile battery packs can charge laptops due to varying power outputs. We suggest using the IOGEAR gmp8k and gmp16k for laptop charging purposes.
