## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4472:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4472:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

As technology changes and adapts, so does Adafruit. This **USB Type A to Type C** cable will help you with the transition to USB C, even if you're still totin' around a USB Type A hub, computer or laptop.

USB C is the latest industry-standard connector for transmitting data *and* power. Like Lightning and MagSafe cables, USB C has no up or down orientation. And who among Adafruit has inserted USB correctly the first time? Works great with any computer that has a classic USB type A (rectangular) port, and will let you attach to any devices with new-fangled type C connector (rounded rectangle).

These cables don't magically give you USB C speeds if you are using a USB 2.x port, and they won't give you the power negotiation stuff because your computer doesn't have that built in. The cable has built in resistors to force it to 5V power, so it's strictly for devices that use 5V and up to ~2A.

This cable is about 6" inches long. [We also have a ~1 meter / 3 foot long cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-type-a-to-type-c-cable-1ft-0-3-meter.html) and a [3 foot cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-type-a-to-type-c-cable-approx-1-meter-3-ft-long.html).
