USB cable S/CONN 13-68010 USB4 Gen 3x2 0.5 m USB C Grey

The ShiverPeaks USB cable S/CONN 13-68010 is a 0.5 m USB C to USB C cable designed for high-speed connections between modern devices. It supports the USB4 Gen 3x2 specification, enabling data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s, and features gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resistance to corrosion. The compact grey cable is intended for short, reliable links where full USB4 performance is required.

Advantages

This USB C cable provides a compact and robust connection that supports the latest USB4 Gen 3x2 standard for fast data throughput. Gold-plated contacts reduce oxidation and improve long-term signal integrity. The short 0.5 m length minimizes signal attenuation and clutter, while the USB C to USB C configuration ensures reversible plug orientation and broad device compatibility where USB4 is supported.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transfer between USB C laptops and external SSDs
• Connecting USB4-compatible docking stations and host devices
• Short-range connections for monitors with USB C input supporting data
• Quick device-to-device transfers such as backups or media sync

Key specifications

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

How to use

Insert each USB C connector into the corresponding USB C ports on your devices until the connection is secure. Ensure both devices support USB4 Gen 3x2 to achieve maximum data rates. For connections to external drives or docking stations, make sure the host and peripheral are powered on and any required drivers or firmware are up to date. Because the cable is 0.5 m long, position devices within short distance to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

To maintain performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and disconnect by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling the cable. Use the cable in environments within normal operating temperatures and keep contacts clean from dust and debris to preserve reliable USB4 performance.
