USB cable S/CONN 14-74016 USB 3.2 Gen 2 1.5 m USB C Black White

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 14-74016 USB cable is a 1.5 m USB C to USB C data cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also referenced as 3.1 Gen 2) with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 10 Gbit/s. The cable is available in black and white and features gold-plated connector contacts for improved contact reliability and resistance to corrosion. This model is designed for devices with USB Type-C ports that require high-speed data transfer and standard charging capability.

Advantages

The cable supports high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and uses symmetrical USB C connectors on both ends for reversible plug orientation. Gold-plated contacts enhance long-term contact reliability and reduce signal degradation caused by oxidation. With a 1.5 m length the cable provides a balance between desktop reach and portable convenience, suitable for connecting laptops, external drives and mobile devices.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transfer between computers and external SSDs or HDDs
• Connecting USB-C laptops to docking stations and hubs
• Syncing and transferring large files between devices with USB-C ports
• General charging and data connection for smartphones and tablets supporting USB-C

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 2)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated connector contacts
• Available colours: black, white

How to use

Insert one USB Type-C connector into the source device and the other into the target device — the reversible USB C plugs allow insertion in either orientation. For optimal data throughput, ensure both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2 or a compatible standard. Use the cable for file transfers, connecting external storage, connecting to docks or hubs, and for standard charging functions where supported by the connected devices.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable to preserve the gold-plated contacts and internal conductors. For guaranteed 10 Gbit/s transfers, use with devices and ports that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 2. If you experience reduced speeds, check device port specifications and replace adapters that do not support high-speed USB standards.
