InLine USB 2.0 spiral cable, USB-C male / USB-A male, black/alu, flexible, 0.5m

The InLine USB 2.0 spiral cable is a compact extendable connection cable that pairs a reversible USB-C male with a USB-A male connector. With a coiled design and a length of 0.5 m when extended, the cable supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features aluminium-coated connectors and a black finish for improved durability and a neat appearance.

Advantages

The spiral construction provides a compact, low-bulk cable that extends when needed and retracts for easy storage. The reversible USB-C connector allows insertion in either orientation. Aluminium-coated connectors increase resistance to wear, and the compact 8.4 x 2.6 mm Type-C plug suits smartphones, tablets, external USB drives and other peripherals. Backward compatibility is possible via adapters, and the Type-C mating life is specified by the manufacturer as approximately 10,000 cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C devices (smartphones, tablets) to USB-A hosts (PCs, chargers)
• Temporary or mobile setups requiring a short, extendable cable
• Use with external USB hard drives and USB peripherals
• Situations where a compact, low-profile connector mounting is needed

How to use

Extend the spiral cable to the required length and insert the USB-C male connector into the device and the USB-A male into the host or charger. The reversible orientation of the Type-C connector eliminates the need to check plug direction. When not in use, allow the cable to retract to reduce bulk and simplify storage. If a USB-A host is not available on the device side, use an appropriate adapter to ensure compatibility.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable for USB 2.0 data rates and charging within device specifications. Avoid sharp bends beyond the spiral curvature and excessive pulling to prolong cable life. If frequent mating cycles are expected, note the manufacturer’s stated Type-C connector life of about 10,000 insertions.
