USB cable ShiverPeaks BS13-47040 USB 3.2 Gen 2 3m USB C Grey

The ShiverPeaks BS13-47040 USB cable is a 3 m USB C to USB C cable designed for devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 2. It provides a reliable wired connection for data transfer and device interoperability. The cable features gold‑plated connector contacts and a grey jacket for a neutral, professional appearance. With support for up to 20 Gbit/s transfer speeds, the cable is intended for high‑speed file transfers between compatible hosts and peripherals.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer rates up to 20 Gbit/s, enabling faster data movement compared with older USB standards. Gold‑plated contacts help reduce corrosion and maintain consistent signal quality over time. A 3 meter length offers extended reach for flexible workstation setups while maintaining the convenience of reversible USB C connectors on both ends for easy plug‑in. The neutral grey outer jacket resists visible staining and integrates well with office or home equipment.

Suitable for

• High‑speed data transfer between laptops, external SSDs and compatible peripherals
• Connecting USB C monitors or docking stations that accept USB data over a C‑C link
• Workstation setups requiring a longer cable run (3 m) without signal compromise
• Situations where durable connector contact plating is beneficial, such as frequent plugging/unplugging

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB C to USB C (reversible on both ends)
• USB protocol: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (compatible with 3.1 Gen 2)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 20 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 3 m
• Contact plating: gold‑plated connector contacts for improved durability
• Colour: grey outer jacket

How to use

Connect one USB C end to your host device (for example a laptop or desktop computer) and the other end to a compatible peripheral such as an external SSD, docking station or monitor. Ensure both devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2 to achieve the maximum 20 Gbit/s transfer rate; otherwise the connection will negotiate to the highest mutually supported speed. Route the 3 m cable to avoid sharp bends or pinching, and insert connectors straight into the ports to ensure proper alignment and contact.

Recommendations

For sustained maximum performance, use the cable with devices that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 2. Avoid tightly coiling the cable during long‑term storage, and keep connector contacts clean and dry. If using with high‑power charging devices, verify device power delivery specifications separately as this cable is described primarily for data transfer compatibility.
