USB cable S/CONN 30-42045 3 m USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB C Black

The ShiverPeaks USB cable S/CONN 30-42045 is a 3 m USB-C to USB-C cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. Designed for device-to-device connections, it features reversible USB-C connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The black jacket offers a neutral, professional appearance suitable for home, office and mobile setups.

Advantages

This USB-C cable provides high-speed data transfer in a single cable solution, supporting rates up to 10 Gbit/s consistent with USB 3.2 Gen 2. Gold-plated contacts enhance electrical conductivity and durability. The 3 m length offers extended reach compared with typical short cables, reducing the need to place devices immediately adjacent to each other. Reversible USB-C connectors simplify plugging in and minimize connector wear over time.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files between laptops, external SSDs and NAS devices
• Connecting modern smartphones and tablets with USB-C ports to computers or chargers that support data
• Linking USB-C docks, hubs and monitors that accept USB-C input
• General-purpose charging and syncing where USB-C to USB-C cabling is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-C to USB-C
• USB specification: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one USB-C plug to the source device (for example a laptop, smartphone or external drive) and the other USB-C plug to the target device such as a computer port, dock or compatible monitor. Ensure both connected devices support the intended USB function (data transfer or charging) and the USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification for maximum speed. If a device or port does not support USB 3.2 Gen 2, the cable will operate at the highest mutually supported speed. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and route it to prevent strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with devices and ports that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 2. Keep connectors clean and dry, and avoid using the cable in environments with excessive heat or moisture. When storing, coil the cable loosely to preserve its lifespan.
