UGREEN US270 USB 2.0 Cable – USB-A to USB-C (2m)

The UGREEN US270 is a 2-meter USB 2.0 cable connecting USB-A ports to USB-C devices for reliable charging and everyday file transfers. This extended-length cable suits students who need affordable charging solutions that reach across dorm rooms and professionals requiring dependable connectivity for phones and accessories without premium data speeds. The nickel-plated connectors and durable construction withstand frequent use while the 2-meter reach eliminates awkward device positioning.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended 2-Meter Reach: Connects devices comfortably from wall outlets or desktop computers to beds, couches, or across workspaces without straining cables or repositioning furniture. Charge your phone overnight from an outlet across the room or keep devices accessible while working without being tethered to short distances.
• Universal USB-C Compatibility: Works with modern smartphones, tablets, wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and accessories featuring USB-C ports. One cable handles Samsung Galaxy devices, Google Pixels, iPads, Nintendo Switch controllers, and USB-C headphones without needing device-specific cables.
• Reliable Charging Performance: Delivers up to 3A (15W) charging power for compatible devices, providing consistent overnight charging or steady power during the day. Your phone reaches full battery by morning without requiring premium fast-charging cables for situations where speed isn’t critical.
• Durable Nickel-Plated Connectors: Resists corrosion and wear from daily plugging and unplugging, maintaining reliable connections longer than standard cables. The reinforced strain relief points prevent fraying at connector junctions where cheaper cables typically fail after months of use.
• Budget-Friendly Everyday Solution: Provides essential USB-C connectivity and charging at an accessible price point, making it practical to keep backup cables in multiple locations. Stock your bedroom, office, car, and travel bag without the expense of premium high-speed cables where USB 2.0 speeds suffice.

Use Cases & Applications

For Students

The UGREEN US270 provides practical charging reach in dorm rooms and apartments where outlets rarely sit conveniently near beds or study desks. Charge your phone overnight from across the room without needing extension cords or cluster adapters. The 2-meter length lets you use your device comfortably in bed while it charges from a floor outlet, eliminating the awkward cable strain that damages shorter cables.

Keep multiple US270 cables in different locations—one for your dorm room, another in your backpack, and a spare at your favorite study spot—without breaking your budget. The USB 2.0 speed handles typical student file transfers like syncing photos to your laptop, transferring homework documents, or backing up phone notes. While large video projects take longer than with USB 3.0 cables, everyday files like PDFs, presentations, and image folders transfer quickly enough for most academic needs.

The durable construction survives being packed in backpacks alongside textbooks and water bottles. Students cycling through multiple cheap cables per semester save money by investing in one quality cable that lasts. The black color hides minor scuffs and dirt that accumulate during daily campus transport.

For Business Professionals

Office workers use this cable for consistent phone charging at desks without occupying premium USB 3.0 ports needed for external drives or high-speed peripherals. The 2-meter reach allows flexible desk organization where your phone charges on a side table or shelf while your computer sits across your workspace. Reserve faster ports for data-intensive tasks and use USB 2.0 for straightforward charging needs.

The cable works well for charging wireless presentation clickers, Bluetooth headsets, or other office accessories that don’t require fast data transfer. Keep one at your office desk and another in your laptop bag for consistent connectivity during business travel. Hotel rooms often have inconveniently placed outlets, and the 2-meter length reaches from bathroom outlets to bedside tables or from desk outlets to seating areas.

For basic file transfers like sharing documents with colleagues or backing up phone contacts and messages, the USB 2.0 speed handles these tasks adequately. However, professionals regularly transferring large presentations, video files, or extensive photo libraries should consider USB 3.0 cables for those specific tasks while keeping the US270 primarily for charging.

Overnight and Extended Charging

This cable excels in situations where charging happens over several hours and speed isn’t critical. Charge your phone overnight, power up tablets during your workday, or replenish wireless earbud cases while sleeping. The consistent 15W delivery provides reliable charging without requiring expensive fast-charging cables for scenarios where devices charge unattended.

The extended length prevents the “dangling phone” problem where short cables force devices to hang awkwardly between outlets and furniture. Place your phone safely on nightstands, desks, or shelves while cables reach comfortably to power sources. This reduces the risk of devices falling or cables pulling out during sleep or work.

Budget-Conscious Multi-Cable Needs

Households, shared offices, or students living with roommates benefit from stocking multiple affordable cables instead of sharing one expensive cable. Designate cables for different rooms or family members without significant expense. The US270 provides reliable performance at a price point that makes having backup cables practical rather than extravagant.

Keep cables in your car for emergency phone charging, in your office drawer for forgetting your primary cable, or in guest rooms for visitors. The investment remains reasonable even when purchasing several cables for different locations or family members.

Light File Transfer Tasks

For transferring everyday files like photos from recent events (100-500 images), music playlists, or document folders, USB 2.0 speeds prove adequate. A folder of 1GB photos transfers in roughly 2-3 minutes—slow enough to notice but fast enough to not significantly disrupt your workflow. Students backing up class notes, presentations, or reading materials to phones or tablets find the speed acceptable for these smaller file sizes.

However, avoid this cable for transferring large video files, full device backups, or extensive media libraries where the slower speeds become genuinely frustrating. A 10GB video file takes 15-20 minutes with USB 2.0 versus 2-3 minutes with USB 3.0, making the upgrade worthwhile for frequent large transfers.

Accessory and Peripheral Charging

Power USB-C accessories like portable fans, LED desk lights, small Bluetooth speakers, or rechargeable hand warmers where data transfer isn’t required. The cable delivers adequate power for these lower-consumption devices while the 2-meter length provides flexibility in positioning accessories around your workspace or living area.

Charge Nintendo Switch controllers, wireless earbuds, portable chargers, and other small electronics overnight or during storage periods. The reliable charging ensures devices stay ready without requiring premium cables for accessories that don’t need fast data connectivity.

Car and Travel Use

Keep this cable in your car’s center console for charging phones during commutes or road trips. The affordable price makes losing or damaging a travel cable less concerning than premium alternatives. The 2-meter length works well for charging devices in backseats or reaching from car chargers to passenger areas.

Pack the US270 in travel bags, gym bags, or emergency kits as reliable backup charging without worrying about the investment if cables get lost or damaged during trips. The basic functionality covers essential charging needs when away from home.

Model Number: US270

Important Notes:

• This is a USB 2.0 cable optimized for charging and light file transfers. For frequent large file transfers (videos, full device backups), consider USB 3.0 cables like the US287.
• Charging speed depends on your wall adapter’s power output, not just the cable. Use an appropriate power adapter for best charging performance.
• Not suitable for charging USB-C laptops requiring 30W+ power delivery. Use for data transfer with laptops or charging smaller devices.
• Transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 (480Mbps) regardless of device capabilities.

Best Uses: Overnight charging, daily phone charging, transferring documents/photos, charging accessories, budget-friendly backup cables.

When to Upgrade: Consider USB 3.0 cables if you frequently transfer large video files, backup entire devices, or need fastest possible data transfer speeds.
