Connection security
The CoolGear CG-30ACTSSL-1M is a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A to Type-C cable built with a single screw lock on the Type-C plug. It targets engineers and technicians who need a tethered link that will not pull loose on industrial equipment, test benches or mobile rigs. The one‑metre length keeps runs tidy while still reaching across a standard workstation. Users who prefer a quick‑release connector should choose a standard cable instead.
Sustained throughput
The link is rated for 5 Gbps under the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification and can deliver up to 3 A of power from a compliant source. In practice the screw lock maintains consistent contact during vibration or cable movement, so bulk transfers to external SSDs or camera arrays stay at line rate without retries caused by micro‑disconnects. Thermal limits of the host controller and the powered device remain the governing factors for continuous operation.
Upgrade path
The cable replaces a standard Type-A to Type-C lead wherever a locking connection is required by procedure or environment. The jump is worth it when cable pull‑out risk causes data corruption, hardware resets or safety incidents. It adds no benefit for stationary desktop peripherals that are never disturbed.

Questions about this item
Does the CG-30ACTSSL-1M cable get warm or draw extra power when running at 5Gbps data and 3A charging all day?
The cable is rated for up to 5Gbps data and 3A power delivery under USB 3.2 Gen 1 specifications, so normal operation at those levels stays within its designed limits.
What port types must my host and device already have to use this Type-A to Type-C screw-lock cable?
You need a standard USB Type-A port on the host side and a USB Type-C port on the device side; the screw lock engages only with a Type-C receptacle that has matching threads.
Will the single screw lock on the CG-30ACTSSL-1M interfere if I plug the Type-C end into an older, non-threaded USB-C hub or dock?
No, the cable is designed to work with non-screw-lock devices, so the Type-C connector seats normally in any standard USB-C port.
