Player One Type-C to Type-A USB2.0 Cable - 2m

This cable is primarily used to connect astronomy accessories that feature a modern USB-C port to a computer, ASIAIR, or USB hub that uses the traditional USB-A port. It is ideal for devices like guide cameras, electronic filter wheels, or focusers that don't require high-speed data transfer.

No. This is a USB 2.0 cable, designed for lower-bandwidth devices. High-resolution planetary imaging requires a USB 3.0 cable (typically blue-tipped) to achieve maximum frame rates. Using this cable with a USB 3.0 camera will limit its speed significantly.

This cable handles data transfer and can provide basic power to low-draw devices like a guide camera. However, it cannot supply the high current required for the TEC cooler on a dedicated deep-sky camera. Cooled cameras require a separate 12V DC power supply.

A guide camera like the ZWO ASI120MM Mini only sends small amounts of data intermittently. A USB 2.0 connection is more than sufficient and is often more stable over long cable runs than a more complex USB 3.0 connection. The 2-meter length is perfect for routing the cable from a guidescope back to your control computer without strain.

No, a 2-meter length is well within the official USB 2.0 specification for reliable data transfer. The commands sent to a filter wheel are very simple (e.g., "move to position 3"), so there is virtually no risk of data corruption or signal loss over this distance.

Yes, absolutely. This is a standard USB 2.0 cable that can be used to connect or charge any device with a USB-C port—such as smartphones, tablets, or other peripherals—to a computer or charger with a USB-A port.
