Secure USB-C Connection

The CoolGear CG-30SL1AC-05M cable links a USB Type-A host to a USB Type-C device using a dual screw-lock mechanism on the Type-C end. This locking design prevents accidental disconnection during operation in industrial or commercial settings. The 20-inch length keeps the run compact for tight installations. It suits technicians and integrators who need a fixed link that will not pull free under vibration or movement.

Sustained Data and Power Delivery

USB 3.2 Gen 1 signalling provides up to 5Gbps throughput for continuous bulk transfers rather than brief bursts. The cable simultaneously carries up to 3A of current, so attached peripherals remain powered while data moves. This combination supports extended sessions with industrial scanners, rugged tablets or fixed-mount cameras without voltage drop or link renegotiation. The black jacket resists wear in demanding environments.

Replaces Standard Non-Locking Cables

This cable upgrades any existing USB-A to USB-C lead that lacks a retention feature and suffers from intermittent disconnects. The jump is worth it when a loose plug causes downtime on a production line, in a kiosk or on mobile diagnostic gear. It is not for buyers who need a longer reach than 20 inches or a Type-C to Type-C gender configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 link generate noticeable heat or draw extra power when running all day?

The cable is rated for up to 3 A of power and 5 Gbps data; it has no active electronics, so heat and power draw come only from the connected devices, not from the cable itself.

What ports must my devices already have for this 20-inch screw-lock cable to work?

One end needs a standard USB-A receptacle and the other a USB-C receptacle; the screw-lock end mates with any USB-C port, locking or non-locking.

Will the 5 Gbps signal degrade if I plug this cable into an older USB 2.0 Type-A port on my legacy PC?

The cable is backward compatible; it will operate at USB 2.0 speeds when connected to a USB 2.0 port, and at 5 Gbps with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port.
