The Goobay 74204 USB Cable is a 0.5 m USB C to USB C data cable supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1) transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. Designed for modern devices with USB Type-C ports, this black cable provides a compact connection solution for data transfer and device-to-device linking where a short, reliable cable is required.

Advantages

This USB C cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 high-speed data transfer, enabling fast file synchronization and quick access to external storage. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for close-proximity setup between laptops, smartphones, tablets, and peripherals. USB C connectors on both ends make it reversible and easy to plug in, while the black finish offers a discreet, professional appearance suitable for home and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting two USB-C devices for data transfer
• Linking external SSDs or HDDs to compatible hosts
• Short-range connections for laptops, tablets, and smartphones
• Desk setups where minimal cable length is preferred

How to use

Connect one USB C plug to the host device and the other USB C plug to the peripheral or storage device. The reversible USB C connectors allow insertion in either orientation.
