USB cable S/CONN 13-68035 USB4 Gen 3x2 2 m USB C Black

The ShiverPeaks USB cable S/CONN 13-68035 USB4 Gen 3x2 2 m USB C Black is a 2-meter USB-C to USB-C cable designed for high-bandwidth connections. It implements USB4 Gen 3x2 technology to support data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s and uses gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability. The black jacket and robust construction make it suitable for regular desktop and mobile use when fast data throughput and device charging are required.

Advantages

This USB4 Gen 3x2 cable provides high-speed data transfer up to 40 Gbit/s while maintaining compatibility with USB-C ports. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and corrosion risk, improving long-term connectivity. The 2 m length offers flexibility for connecting computers, docking stations, external drives, and other peripherals without needing adapters. The cable's design focuses on stable signal transmission and practical handling for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops and desktops to external NVMe enclosures or high-speed storage
• Linking compatible monitors, docks or hubs with USB-C downstream/upstream ports
• Transferring large files between devices at multi-gigabit speeds
• Charging USB-C devices where the connected host or charger supports required power delivery

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-C to USB-C
• USB specification: USB4 Gen 3x2
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 40 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 2 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one USB-C connector into the host device (laptop, desktop, or docking station) and the other into the target peripheral (external drive, monitor, or hub). Ensure both devices support USB-C and the required USB4 features for full 40 Gbit/s throughput. For charging, connect to a power source or charger that supports the appropriate power delivery profile; charging speed depends on the connected devices and power source. Handle the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive strain on the connectors to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with devices and peripherals that explicitly support USB4 or backward-compatible USB-C standards. Keep firmware and drivers up to date on connected devices to ensure compatibility with high-speed modes. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and replace the cable if connectors show visible wear.
