The MediaRange MRCS160 USB cable is a 1.2 m data cable with a USB A connector on one end and a USB C connector on the other. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also marketed as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s. The cable comes in black and features nickel‑plated connectors for improved durability.

Advantages

The MRCS160 provides fast data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices. Nickel‑plated connectors resist corrosion and help maintain reliable connections. Its 1.2 m length balances reach and portability for everyday use at home, at a desk or in mobile setups.

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into a host device with a USB‑A port (for example a PC or charger) and connect the USB C end to the target device (for example a smartphone, tablet or external drive). Ensure both devices support the required USB version to achieve the maximum transfer speed; otherwise the connection will operate at the lower supported speed. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends to prolong service life.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources. If charging, check the host device’s power output — charging speed depends on the charger and device capabilities.
