USB cable S/CONN 13-63015 USB4 Gen 3x2 0.5 m USB C Black

The S/CONN 13-63015 USB cable from ShiverPeaks is a 0.5 m black USB C to USB C cable that supports USB4 Gen 3x2 with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s. It features gold-plated contacts for improved durability and stable signal transmission. The compact length and reversible USB C connectors make this cable suitable for close-range connections between modern laptops, docks, external SSDs and peripherals that support USB4 functionality.

Advantages

The cable supports the USB4 Gen 3x2 standard, enabling high-speed data transfer up to 40 Gbit/s where both devices and host controllers support this mode. Gold-plated contacts reduce oxidation and maintain reliable electrical contact over time. With USB C connectors on both ends and a short 0.5 m length, the cable minimizes clutter and signal attenuation for desktop setups or portable workstations. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance compatible with most devices and environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB4-compatible laptops to docking stations or hubs
• Attaching external NVMe SSDs or high-bandwidth storage
• Short-range data transfer between USB C devices
• Use with monitors or devices that accept USB C data and alternate modes where supported

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB C to USB C
• USB standard: USB4 Gen 3x2 (up to 40 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug one USB C connector into the host device and the other into the peripheral or dock. Ensure both connected devices support the required USB4 Gen 3x2 mode to reach maximum throughput; otherwise the connection will negotiate to the highest mutually supported speed. Handle the cable by the connector housings when inserting or removing to avoid strain on the cable. Do not force connectors into ports; they are reversible and orient automatically.

Recommendations

For best performance, use with devices and cables that explicitly support USB4 Gen 3x2 and keep the cable length short to minimize latency and potential signal degradation. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and store the cable loosely coiled to prolong its lifespan.
