CoolGear USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A to C Screw Lock Cable

This cable connects a USB-A host to a USB-C device using a single screw lock mechanism on the Type-C end. It is built for users who need a secure connection in environments where vibration or movement could unseat a standard plug. The 0.5 m length suits tight workspaces or direct device-to-device links.

Capacity and headroom: 5 Gbps data and 3 A power

The link supports up to 5 Gbps data throughput, handling large file transfers and peripheral traffic without bottleneck. It delivers up to 3 A of power from a capable source, sufficient for charging laptops, tablets and notebooks at their maximum supported rate. Headroom ends when the host or charger cannot supply 3 A or when the device requires more current than the cable rating.

Replaces standard USB-A to C cables without locking

This cable upgrades any standard USB-A to C lead where accidental disconnection is a risk. The screw lock adds mechanical security while remaining compatible with non-locking USB-C ports. The jump is worth it for industrial, mobile or field deployments where a loose cable causes downtime or data loss.

Questions about this item

Will the screw-lock USB-C end stay secure on my older USB 3.0 Type-A hub?

Yes, the single screw lock engages with any USB-C receptacle, so the connection remains firm even on legacy USB 3.0 hubs that lack their own locking hardware.

How can I verify the cable is delivering the rated 5 Gbps after I plug it in?

Transfer a large file between the connected devices and confirm the sustained throughput reaches the USB 3.2 Gen 1 ceiling of 5 Gbps.

Does the 0.5 m cable include a power adapter or only the locking cable itself?

Only the USB-A to USB-C screw-lock cable is supplied; a USB wall charger, desktop charger or high-power battery bank must be purchased separately for 3 A charging.
