USB Cable S/CONN 77142-1.8 USB 3.2 Gen 1 1m USB C USB A Black

The S/CONN 77142-1.8 USB cable from ShiverPeaks is a 1 m data cable with a USB C plug on one end and a USB A plug on the other. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referenced as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s, making it suitable for transferring large files, connecting external drives, or linking modern smartphones and laptops to legacy USB A ports. The cable is finished in black and uses nickel-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s and cross-compatibility between USB C and USB A devices. Nickel-plated contacts increase contact durability and reduce oxidation over time. With a 1 m length, the cable offers a balance between reach and compactness for desk or travel use. The black finish delivers a neutral appearance that integrates with most device setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB C smartphones, tablets or external SSDs to USB A ports on PCs or chargers
• Data transfer between modern USB C peripherals and older host devices with USB A
• Charging devices at USB A power sources while maintaining data connection
• Everyday desk use, home office setups and travel carry for cable replacement

How to use

Insert the USB C connector into the USB C port of your device and the USB A connector into the corresponding host or power source. The cable supports plug-and-play operation for data transfer and charging where supported by the connected devices. Ensure ports are free of dust and align connectors before insertion to avoid mechanical wear. For optimal transfer speeds, connect to hosts and devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1.

Recommendations

Use this cable for regular data sync and charging tasks, keeping it within moderate bend radii and avoiding sharp kinks. When high sustained transfer speeds are required, connect both ends to devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve up to 5 Gbit/s. Store the cable coiled without tight folds to prolong life and unplug by the connector rather than pulling the cable.
