USB Cable ShiverPeaks BS13-65015 USB4 Gen 3x2 0.5m Black

The ShiverPeaks BS13-65015 USB4 Gen 3x2 cable is a 0.5 m USB-C to USB-C data cable designed for high-bandwidth connections. It supports data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s, features magnetically shielded construction to reduce interference, and gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The compact black cable is intended for short-range connections between modern laptops, docks, external drives and peripherals that require USB4 performance.

Advantages

This USB4 Gen 3x2 cable delivers the full 40 Gbit/s theoretical throughput supported by the USB4 standard, enabling fast file transfers and high-resolution display support when paired with compatible devices. Magnetic shielding improves signal integrity in electrically noisy environments, while gold-plated contacts enhance contact reliability and longevity. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter for desktop and portable setups and the USB-C to USB-C connectors provide a reversible, symmetric connection.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop to a compatible docking station or hub for data and video
• Transferring large files to and from external SSDs and high-performance storage
• Connecting USB4-capable monitors or adapters that require high bandwidth
• Short-distance connections where a compact cable length is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-C on both ends
• USB version: USB4 Gen 3x2 (up to 40 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Shielding: Magnetic shielding for improved interference rejection
• Contacts: Gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance

How to use

Plug one USB-C connector into the host device and the other into the peripheral or dock supporting USB4. Ensure both connected devices support the required USB4 Gen 3x2 capabilities to achieve the maximum data rate. For video output, verify that the source and display or adapter support the same USB4 video protocols. No driver installation is typically required for basic data and display functions; follow device-specific instructions when using power delivery or alternate modes.

Recommendations

Use the cable for close-range, high-bandwidth connections. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the connectors. For optimal performance, pair the cable with USB4-certified devices and keep the connected ports free of debris. If using with power delivery or specific alternate modes, confirm power and mode compatibility between host and device before full-load use.
