Secure USB-C Connection

This CoolGear cable links a USB-A host to a USB-C device using a single screw-lock mechanism that prevents accidental disconnection. The 1.8 m length suits desk or bench setups where cables are bumped or routed through cable management. It delivers up to 5 Gbps data throughput and 3 A power simultaneously for charging laptops, tablets or peripherals while transferring files.

Industrial and mobile users who need a locking link

Technicians, field engineers and anyone running equipment in vibration-prone environments benefit from the screw-lock security. The cable also works with standard non-locking USB-C ports for everyday flexibility. Buyers who require a fully locking connection on both ends or need longer reach than 1.8 m should consider alternative cabling.

Verify port types and power needs before ordering

Confirm the host side provides a USB-A receptacle and the device side accepts a USB-C plug with a single screw-lock thread. Ensure the source can supply up to 3 A if you plan to charge power-hungry laptops through the cable. The cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts, though speeds will fall to those limits.

Questions about this item

What kind of USB-A port do I need on my host for the screw-lock Type-C plug to deliver 5 Gbps and 3 A power?

Any standard USB-A receptacle works; the cable is USB 3.2 Gen 1 compliant and backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, so it will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.

Will the screw-lock Type-C connector mate securely with my older non-locking USB-C devices?

Yes, the single screw-lock mechanism is designed to work with both screw-lock and non-screw-lock USB-C ports, so legacy devices connect normally without using the screw.

How can I confirm the link is running at 5 Gbps after I plug it in?

Check the connection speed reported by your operating system — on Windows it appears in Device Manager under the USB controller properties, on macOS in System Report, and on Linux via lsusb -t — all should list 5 Gbps for this cable.
