Locking USB-C cable for docks and enclosures

This one-metre USB-C to USB-C cable adds a top-mounted M2 screw lock that secures the connection on docks and external-drive enclosures with locking ports. It supports 10Gbps data transfer and up to 100W Power Delivery 3.0 charging for Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C laptops. The removable screw allows use with standard ports as well.

Replaces standard cables that can pull loose

The screw lock prevents accidental disconnection when a dock or drive is moved, making the upgrade worthwhile in mobile or vibration-prone setups. If the equipment has no locking port, the screw simply unscrews and the cable works like any other USB-C lead. Buyers who need longer reach or angled connectors will need a different cable.

Sustained 10Gbps throughput with EMI shielding

Aluminium-Mylar foil with 85% braid shielding and a 32 AWG construction maintain signal integrity during extended transfers. The TPE jacket is rated for 10000 insertions and 4000 bends, so repeated docking cycles do not degrade performance. DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode carries 8K 30Hz video without throttling under continuous load.
