USB-C charging and data cable GARMIN 010-13278-01, 0.5 m

Garmin 010-13278-01 is a 0.5 m USB-C charging and data cable designed to connect compatible Garmin devices to USB-C ports on laptops, chargers and power banks. The compact length reduces cable clutter while providing a direct connection for charging and synchronising activity data. This cable supports standard USB-C power delivery and data exchange between a Garmin device and a host device, making it a convenient everyday accessory for short-range charging and syncing needs.

Advantages

The short 0.5 m length makes the cable easy to carry and store, particularly for travel or gym use. Its USB-C connector provides a reversible plug orientation for simpler insertion and robust mechanical contact for reliable charging and data transfer. The cable’s construction balances flexibility and strength to withstand daily bending and handling without excess bulk.

How to use

Connect the USB-C end of the cable to a compatible USB-C power adapter, power bank or computer port. Attach the device-specific end to your Garmin device until it fits securely. For charging, ensure the power source is active; for data transfer, confirm the computer recognises the connected device and, if required, run Garmin Express or compatible synchronization software. After use, disconnect both ends by pulling the connector body rather than the cable to avoid strain.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely to prevent kinks, avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or liquids, and inspect connectors periodically for debris. Use a certified USB-C power adapter appropriate for your Garmin device to ensure safe charging and reliable data transfer.
