Technical Overview
This cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps, enabling efficient syncing of files and media between devices. The connectors feature nickel plating for corrosion resistance and enhanced durability, with Al-Mylar shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure stable signal integrity.
Built to withstand rigorous use, the cable is tested for over 10,000 insertions and 5,000 bend cycles at 180 degrees, backed by aramid fiber reinforcement that increases tensile strength. The TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) jacket is halogen-free, non-toxic, and provides excellent strain relief, maintaining flexibility in various temperatures without cracking or stiffening.
