USB-A adapter cable ShiverPeaks 30-38105 — USB-C 3.2 (5 Gbps) 25 m

Shielded USB-A to USB-C adapter cable ShiverPeaks 30-38105 — USB-C 3.2 (5 Gbps) 25 m is a single-run data cable designed to connect USB-C devices to USB-A hosts over an extended distance. The cable supports USB 3.2 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and is constructed with shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference across its 25 meter length, allowing reliable data transmission for peripherals and devices that require a longer physical connection than standard cables provide.

Advantages

This shielded USB-A to USB-C cable provides a long, single-run solution for connecting modern USB-C devices to legacy USB-A ports while maintaining data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps. The integrated shielding helps reduce signal degradation and external interference across the 25 m length, and the USB 3.2 compatibility ensures broad device support for data and peripheral connections. The single-cable design eliminates the need for multiple extenders or repeaters in many installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C peripherals (external drives, cameras, audio interfaces) to USB-A host ports at a distance
• Long-run workstation setups where device and host are separated by up to 25 m
• Temporary or permanent installations in office, studio, or event environments requiring a single long cable
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling improves reliability

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB-A (host) to USB-C (device)
• USB protocol support: USB 3.2, up to 5 Gbps data rate
• Cable length: 25 meters
• Shielding: braided or foil shielding to reduce EMI and maintain signal integrity
• Use case: data transfer and peripheral connectivity (not intended as a power-only cable)

How to use

Connect the USB-A end to the host computer or USB-A hub and the USB-C end to the target device. Ensure both host and device support USB 3.2 to achieve maximum data rates. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields; secure with cable ties if required. If data throughput appears reduced, verify host and device port versions, and test with a shorter cable or alternate ports to isolate potential bottlenecks.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal performance over the full 25 m, use this shielded cable for data and peripheral connections rather than high-current charging. Avoid coiling the cable tightly and keep it away from large power transformers or heavy machinery. For critical applications, verify USB 3.2 support on both ends and test data transfer speeds after installation.
