USB Cable ShiverPeaks Basic-S USB 3.2 Gen 2 0.5m

The ShiverPeaks Basic-S USB 3.2 Gen 2 0.5m cable is a short, high-speed USB-C to USB-C data cable designed for fast data transfer and reliable connections. With support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 2) it delivers up to 10 Gbit/s throughput over a compact 0.5 m grey cable with gold-plated contacts for improved signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

This USB cable offers a compact length suitable for close-range device connections while supporting high-speed 10 Gbit/s data transfer. Dual USB‑C connectors provide reversible plug orientation on both ends, simplifying connection to modern laptops, smartphones and peripherals. Gold-plated contacts enhance contact reliability and reduce oxidation, and the grey exterior provides a neutral, unobtrusive look for desktop or travel use.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-C laptops to docking stations or monitors that accept USB-C input.
• Transferring large files between USB-C external SSDs and computers at high speed.
• Linking USB-C smartphones or tablets to computers for data sync and backup.
• Short cable runs in portable setups where cable clutter should be minimized.

How to use

Insert each USB‑C connector into the corresponding USB‑C ports of the devices you wish to connect. The reversible USB‑C plugs remove the need to check orientation. For optimal data transfer, connect devices that both support USB 3.2 Gen 2; when connected to devices with lower USB versions, the cable will operate at the lower supported speed. Handle the cable by the connectors when unplugging to avoid stress on the cable junctions.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m cable for short-distance, high-speed data transfers and tidy workstation setups. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep it away from extreme heat or sharp objects to prolong service life.
