Micro USB to USB-C Cable 4-in-1 – 60W USB-C Path, Nylon Braided

Description

One cable, four working combinations. A micro usb to usb c cable that also charges USB-C from USB-C, Micro USB from USB-A, and USB-C from USB-A — so the single lead in the bag covers the phone, the tablet, the earbuds case and whatever is still on the old connector.

The four combinations, stated plainly

A micro usb to usb c cable in this configuration has two inputs and two outputs, which is where the four comes from:

• USB-A into Micro USB — the old standard pairing, for anything still on the small trapezoid plug
• USB-A into USB-C — an older charger or a car socket into a modern device
• USB-C into Micro USB — a modern laptop or wall plug into an older device
• USB-C into USB-C, which is the combination that carries real power

Most people buy a multi charging cable because the drawer is full of leads that each do exactly one thing. This multi charging cable replaces four of them, and the two that usually go missing first are the Micro USB one and the USB-C one.

60W, and exactly where it applies

The 60W rating is USB-C to USB-C only. That needs saying plainly, because it is the thing most often misrepresented about a cable like this.

Micro USB has no support for USB Power Delivery at all. The connector is fixed at 5V and tops out around 12W in practice, whatever lead you put on it — that is a limit of the connector standard, not of the cable’s construction. No micro usb to usb c cable at any price charges a Micro USB device at 60W, because the device end will not negotiate it and there is no mechanism by which it could. What the Micro USB heads on this lead actually give you is ordinary 5V charging at up to about 2.4A, which is precisely what a Micro USB device is built to take.

On the USB-C to USB-C path of this micro usb to usb c cable, 60W means 20V at 3A — enough for a phone at full speed, a tablet, a Nintendo Switch, or a small laptop rated to charge at 60W. Your charger has to support it too. A 20W wall plug delivers 20W through a 60W cable. The cable is never the component that adds power; it only has to avoid being the bottleneck, and at 3A this one is not.

If you need more than 60W — a 16-inch laptop, a 100W charger — that is a different cable with an e-marker chip in it, and we will point you at the right one rather than sell you this.

Data, honestly

480Mbps. That is USB 2.0, and it is the correct and only answer for anything carrying a Micro USB head: the connector has no high-speed pins to use, so no cable design can exceed it. Fine for photos, music, documents and phone backups. Slow for video libraries and drive images, where a dedicated USB-C lead is the right tool and worth owning separately.

A multi charging cable is a convenience product, and it is honest to say so. A 4 in 1 charging cable is very good at removing four leads from your bag. It is not trying to be a data cable, and any listing promising transfer speeds from a 4 in 1 charging cable is quoting a figure from a different product.

Which head do you actually need?

If everything you own is USB-C, buy a plain USB-C lead — it will be cheaper and it will charge faster. A micro usb to usb c cable earns its place the moment you still own one thing on Micro USB, which for most households is a set of earbuds, a power bank, a Bluetooth speaker, an e-reader or a game controller. Those devices last for years, none of them is worth replacing over a plug, and one micro usb to usb c cable keeps the lot of them running.

Braided, because this is the one that lives in the bag

Nylon braid over the jacket and moulded strain relief at every head. A 4 in 1 charging cable gets treated worse than any other lead you own — it goes in the bag, gets wound round a charger, gets yanked out by the cable rather than the plug, and gets lent to people. The braid is there for that, not for appearances. The unused heads clip back against the body so the thing does not turn into a knot in a side pocket.

Compatibility

Charges from:

• USB-A ports — wall chargers, power banks, car sockets, laptops, desktop PCs, TVs and game consoles
• USB-C ports — modern wall chargers, laptops, tablets, monitors with power out, and car sockets

Charges devices with:

• Micro USB — earbud cases, Bluetooth speakers, power banks, e-readers, game controllers, older Android phones and tablets, dash cams, head torches, trimmers and a great many cheap accessories still shipping on this plug today
• USB-C — current Android phones, iPhone 15 and later, iPads, Nintendo Switch, cameras, headphones, handhelds and most laptops that charge at 60W or below

What 60W means here. It applies to the USB-C to USB-C path only. Micro USB has no Power Delivery support at any wattage — the connector is fixed at 5V and delivers up to roughly 2.4A, which is what Micro USB devices are designed to take. The charger at the wall also has to be rated for 60W; a cable cannot supply power a charger does not produce.

Above 60W you want a different cable. Large laptops charging at 87W, 100W or 140W need an e-marked USB-C lead. Ask us and we will point you at one — a multi-head lead is the wrong tool for that job and we would rather say so.

Data is USB 2.0 at 480Mbps on every combination. That is a limit of the Micro USB connector, which has no high-speed pins. For drive images or video libraries, a dedicated USB-C data cable is the right purchase.
