USB Cable ShiverPeaks BS13-31026 USB 3.2 Gen 1 1m USB A USB C White

The ShiverPeaks BS13-31026 USB cable is a 1 metre connection lead with USB A and USB C plugs designed for data transfer and charging. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 protocol, providing up to 5 Gbit/s transfer speed, and features nickel-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The white jacket provides a neutral appearance suited to home and office setups.

Advantages

This USB A to USB C cable delivers the USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance required for fast file transfers between compatible devices while remaining backward compatible with lower-speed USB ports. Nickel-plated contacts enhance durability and stable connectivity over repeated plug cycles. The 1 m length balances reach and cable management, and the simple white finish integrates with a variety of devices and workspaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting external drives and SSDs to computers and laptops that support USB 3.2 Gen 1
• Syncing and transferring large files between devices at up to 5 Gbit/s
• Charging USB-C devices from USB-A power sources (charging speed depends on host and device capabilities)
• General wired connections for peripherals that use USB A to USB C cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector types: USB A (male) to USB C (male)
• Supported protocol: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s

How to use

Insert the USB A plug into a compatible host port such as a computer, laptop or USB power adapter and connect the USB C plug to the target device, for example a smartphone, tablet or external drive. Ensure both devices support the required USB protocol for maximum transfer speeds; if one device supports only a lower USB version, transfer speeds will match the lower specification. Handle connectors by their housings when plugging or unplugging to avoid strain on the cable.

Recommendations

For consistent high-speed transfers, use the cable with devices that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 1 and avoid excessive bending near the connector ends. If charging from a USB-A power source, check the host and device charging specifications to understand actual charging rates.
