How to use

Connect one USB-C end to the source device and the other end to the target device or charger. Ensure both devices support the required USB-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 functionality for optimal data transfer speeds. Insert connectors with the reversible orientation; do not force the plug if resistance is felt. For charging, use an appropriate power adapter and verify device charging specifications before use.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep it away from heat sources. For consistent high-speed transfers, connect devices directly rather than through unverified hubs or adapters. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure firm, unobstructed connections.
