USB Cable Sharkoon USB 3.2 Gen 1 0.5m White

The Sharkoon USB cable is a 0.5 m white USB‑C to USB‑C cable designed for devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1). It provides a compact, flexible connection for smartphones, tablets, laptops and peripherals where a short, reliable data link is required. The cable combines reversible USB‑C connectors on both ends with a construction aimed at everyday use and straightforward plug‑and‑play operation.

Advantages

This 0.5 m USB‑C cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data transfer rates, enabling fast file transfers between compatible devices. The symmetrical USB‑C connectors allow easy connection without concern for plug orientation. Its short length reduces cable clutter on workspaces and minimizes signal attenuation over the run. The white exterior provides a neutral, modern appearance suitable for home or office setups.

Suitable for

• Transferring files between USB‑C equipped laptops, tablets and smartphones
• Connecting external SSDs or USB‑C docks to a host device
• Short cable runs where desk tidiness and minimal slack are desired
• Devices that require a reversible USB‑C connection for easy plugging

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB‑C to USB‑C
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Maximum length: 0.5 m
• Colour: White
• Primary use: Data transfer and device connectivity

How to use

Connect one USB‑C end to the source device and the other end to the destination device. The reversible connectors allow insertion in either orientation. For data transfers, ensure both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the highest available throughput; otherwise the connection will operate at the highest mutually supported USB standard. No special drivers are typically required; use the cable with your operating system's standard file transfer or synchronization tools.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable during use and keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use this short 0.5 m cable when you need a neat, low-latency connection between nearby devices; for longer distances, select a longer cable that still meets the required USB specification.
