Anker A8050 USB-A to USB-C Fast Charging Cable

Anker A8050 USB-A to USB-C Fast Charging for Everyday Charging

The Anker A8050 USB-A to USB-C Fast Charging Cable is a simple pick for buyers who need one cable for charging and basic data transfer between a USB-A source and a USB-C device. It suits people who use older USB-A chargers, laptop ports, or power banks and want a straightforward replacement cable.

USB-A to USB-C Connection

This cable uses a standard USB-A end on one side and a USB-C end on the other. That makes it useful when your charger, computer, or power source still has USB-A output but your device now uses USB-C.

Fast Charging Support

Anker’s USB-A to USB-C cable line supports Quick Charge fast charging when paired with a compatible Quick Charge charger, with support up to 18W in the official FAQ. Actual charging speed still depends on the charger and the device you connect.

Built for Basic Data Transfer

The official Anker product description for this cable family lists data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps. That is enough for everyday file syncing and device connections, but it is not a high-speed USB-C data cable for advanced transfer needs.

Compatibility Notes for Buyers

This page is a good match if you specifically need a USB-A to USB-C cable, not USB-C to USB-C or Lightning. For the fastest result, check that your charger or adapter supports Quick Charge; otherwise, the cable will still work for charging, but not at the fastest supported rate.

If you are replacing a worn cable for a phone, tablet, or other USB-C device, this is the right style only when the charging side is USB-A. It is less suitable if your main goal is high-speed laptop charging from a USB-C charger.
