Good quality, short cable

This cable is well-built and does exactly what it says. My only comment is that it's really short, but that's the point. I use it to connect an external drive to my MacBook, and it works fine.

Reliable little cable

I needed a short USB-A to USB-C cable to connect my mouse dongle to my new laptop. This one is perfect. It's sturdy, doesn't get in the way, and the connection is solid. No data transfer issues at all. I'd buy it again.

Does the job

I bought this to connect a USB-A flash drive to my USB-C phone. It works instantly. The cable is very short, but that prevents tangling. Good quality.

Works, but no charging

It works for data, but I didn't realize it doesn't support USB-PD, so you can't use it for fast charging. That's fine for data, though. Just read the specs before you buy.

Good, but beware of fit

It's a nice short cable, but the USB-C end is a bit thick and can be tight in some cases. Once connected, it's fine. It works with my external SSD with no data loss.
