USB cable Huddly 12 5m USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB C USB A Black

The Huddly 12-7090043790368 USB cable is a 5 m black data cable designed for reliable, high-speed connections between devices with USB-C and USB-A ports. Supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1), it provides SuperSpeed data transfer suitable for video devices, peripherals and external storage where a longer reach is required. The cable combines a reversible USB-C plug with a standard USB-A plug to connect modern laptops, cameras or conferencing equipment to legacy hosts and hubs.

Advantages

This cable offers a 5 metre length that increases placement flexibility and reduces the need for extension adapters. With USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance, it supports high-bandwidth data transfer rates for smooth video streaming and fast file transfers. The mixed connector pairing (USB-C to USB-A) ensures compatibility across a wide range of devices. The black finish provides a low-profile, professional appearance that integrates well into office or studio environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting cameras, conferencing peripherals or webcams to computers or hubs with USB-A ports
• Extending reach for external hard drives and SSD enclosures that require SuperSpeed data throughput
• Setting up meeting rooms or streaming stations where device placement is distant from the host

When it may not be suitable

This cable does not provide features specific to USB Power Delivery negotiation beyond standard USB power; it is intended primarily for data transfer rather than high-wattage charging. If you need the absolute maximum USB-C power delivery or USB 3.2 Gen 2/Gen 2x2 bandwidth, this USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable will not meet those higher power or speed requirements.

Key specifications

• Connectors: USB-C (one end), USB-A (other end)
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) — SuperSpeed data transfer
• Cable length: 5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the USB-C connector into the device that requires a USB-C input and insert the USB-A connector into the host computer, hub or power source. Ensure both ends are fully seated to establish a stable SuperSpeed connection. For best results with video devices or large file transfers, use hosts and peripherals that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the intended data rates. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to utilize SuperSpeed transfer rates
• Confirm that a USB-A port is available on the host device since this is a USB-C to USB-A cable
• Consider whether 5 m length is appropriate for your setup and cable routing needs

Recommendations

For stable performance, avoid kinking the cable and keep it away from high-interference sources. When using for video conferencing or streaming, pair the cable with equipment that explicitly supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 to ensure consistent bandwidth.
