Pro Straight Keyboard Cable

The KCSJXF Straight YC8 Cable-1 is a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable designed for mechanical keyboards. It features a 5-pin YC8 aviator connector that merges the two cable ends for a quick disconnect. The 5-foot length provides reach for desk setups without excess slack. Dark gray double sleeving gives a clean, professional appearance.

Check connector gender and port type

Verify that your keyboard uses a USB Type-C port and your host has a USB Type-A port before ordering. The cable ends are male-to-female, so confirm the gender matches your devices. The aviator connector uses a 5-pin YC8 layout; ensure your keyboard’s aviator port follows the same pinout. This cable is not suited for devices requiring USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth.

Hand-made double-sleeved construction

The cable is fully hand-made with 24/28 AWG copper wire and aluminum shielding foil for stable transmission. A 61-gauge, 5-conductor core meets USB 2.0 compliance for charging and data sync. Tough nylon and PET sleeves resist wear from bending and daily movement. The metal YC8 aviator connector adds a secure, compact join point that simplifies cable routing.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the 5-pin YC8 aviator connector already attached, or do I need to buy it separately?

The 5-pin YC8 aviator connector is built into the cable and merges the USB-A and Type-C ends for quick disconnects; nothing extra is required.

Should I choose the 24 AWG or 28 AWG conductors for my mechanical keyboard?

The cable uses 24/28 AWG copper wire internally — 24 AWG for power and 28 AWG for data — so a single cable handles both needs.

Will the USB 2.0 rating limit charging speed or data transfer on a modern keyboard?

The cable is USB 2.0 compliant and supports safe fast charging plus full data sync speeds for compatible mechanical keyboards.
