  • Type-C to Type-A USB3.2 Cable 2M

    This 2-meter Type-C to Type-A cable bridges the gap between modern USB 3.2 astronomy cameras and host computers equipped with standard USB-A ports. The generous 2-meter length provides crucial flexibility in routing the cable from your telescope to your laptop without putting strain on the connectors.

    A 2-Meter USB 3.2 Connection for Modern Astro-Cameras

    As more astronomy cameras and accessories adopt the USB-C standard, a reliable adapter cable becomes essential for connecting to laptops, hubs, and control PCs that still use legacy USB-A ports. This cable ensures you can continue using your existing hardware without compromising the high-speed data transfer required for planetary imaging and other demanding applications.

    • Universal Compatibility: Connects any USB-C device, such as a Player One or ZWO camera, to a computer or hub with a standard USB-A 3.0/3.2 port.
    • Practical Length: The 2-meter (approx. 6.5 feet) length is ideal for most portable telescope setups, allowing for clean cable management and movement without risking disconnection.
    • Reliable Data Transfer: Built to the USB 3.2 specification, this cable is designed to handle the high data rates generated by modern CMOS sensors, preventing dropped frames during critical captures.

  • What is this Type-C to Type-A USB 3.2 Cable used for in astronomy?

    This cable is primarily used to connect modern astronomy cameras and devices that have a USB-C port to a computer, ASIAIR, or USB hub that has the older, rectangular USB-A ports. It ensures you can get a high-speed data connection even with mixed port types.

    Will this 2M cable work with my Player One camera and a laptop with only USB-A ports?

    Yes, absolutely. Player One cameras utilize a USB-C port for data transfer. This 2-meter cable is the perfect solution for connecting your Player One camera to a standard USB 3.0/3.2 Type-A port on your laptop or PC for imaging.

    Is 2 meters long enough for a typical telescope setup?

    For most portable setups, including refractors or SCTs up to 8-11" on a German equatorial mount, a 2-meter cable provides ample length to run from the camera to a laptop on a nearby table. For very large observatory setups, you may need to consider an active USB extension cable in addition to this one.

    Does this USB 3.2 cable support the full speed of my planetary camera?

    This cable is manufactured to the USB 3.2 standard, which is designed for high-speed communication. It will allow your camera and computer to negotiate the highest possible data rate, which is essential for preventing dropped frames during high-frame-rate planetary or lunar imaging.

    Can I use this cable to connect my ZWO camera to an ASIAIR Pro or Plus?

    Yes. If you have a newer ZWO camera with a USB-C port, this cable will allow you to connect it to one of the USB-A 3.0 (blue) ports on the ASIAIR Pro or Plus for high-speed image transfer.

    Why do I need a Type-C to Type-A cable instead of a C-to-C cable?

    You need this specific cable when your source device (camera) has a USB-C port, but your host device (computer/hub) has only USB-A ports. A C-to-C cable would only work if both the camera and the computer had USB-C ports.
