Short cable for close-range charging

This 0.5 metre USB 2.0 cable connects USB-C devices such as phones, tablets or power banks. It is suited to users who want a compact link for charging at a desk, in a car or while travelling. The short length keeps workspaces tidy and avoids excess slack in tight spaces. It supports data transfer at 480 Mbit/s for basic syncing needs.

PVC jacket with foil and braid shielding

The cable uses a black PVC outer jacket and 22/30 AWG conductors wrapped in aluminum-mylar foil with a braid layer. Nickel-plated, straight USB-C male connectors on both ends resist corrosion and insert reversibly every time. The construction is built for frequent plugging and unplugging during daily commutes or desktop use. No adapters or detachable parts are required.

USB 2.0 speed limits video and fast-charge use

The 480 Mbit/s rating means the cable cannot carry video signals or the higher currents needed for proprietary fast-charging standards. Buyers who need DisplayPort alt mode or power delivery above basic USB 2.0 levels should choose a USB 3.x or USB 4 cable instead. This model is intended for standard charging and low-bandwidth data only.

Questions about this item

What speed does the USB 2.0 Type-C interface actually deliver?

The cable is rated for 480 Mbit/s, which is the maximum throughput of the USB 2.0 specification.

What clearance does the straight 24-pin USB-C plug need?

Each end uses a straight male USB-C connector with nickel-plated contacts; allow enough depth for the plug body plus a few millimetres for the PVC jacket bend radius.

How do I connect it so the reversible plugs seat correctly?

Align either side of the USB-C plug with the port and push straight in until it clicks; forcing it at an angle can bend the 24 pins inside the connector.
