This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This charging cable combines practical functionality with robust engineering. The flexible TPE jacket maintains cable integrity during repeated bending and movement, while the 8mm bend radius strain reliefs prevent wire fatigue at connection points. The cable's passive design ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices without requiring additional drivers or software.
Durable Construction
Built to withstand daily use with nickel-plated connectors rated beyond 10,000 insertion cycles and robust strain reliefs that protect connection points from damage.
Enhanced Protection
Aluminum braided shielding provides EMI protection while the halogen-free TPE jacket is non-toxic and RoHS compliant for safe operation in various environments.
Deployment / Use Cases
The USB2AC3FBKE cable serves multiple roles in both personal and professional environments. For mobile professionals, it provides reliable charging for devices during travel or in office settings. In IT deployments, it offers a cost-effective solution for connecting newer USB-C devices to existing USB-A infrastructure.
This cable is particularly useful for charging USB-C portable monitors, tablets, and laptops from standard USB-A power sources. It supports general data transfer needs while providing fast charging capabilities for compatible devices, making it a versatile accessory for mixed-device environments.
Mobile Device Charging
Ideal for fast charging smartphones, tablets, and other portable USB-C devices from USB-A wall chargers, power banks, or computer USB ports.
Data Transfer Applications
Supports file transfers and device synchronization when connecting USB-C devices to computers, workstations, or external storage with USB-A ports.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek black design with a 3mm outer diameter that remains flexible and manageable. The TPE jacket provides a smooth texture that resists tangling while maintaining durability. At just 0.70 ounces, the cable adds minimal weight to travel kits or workstation setups.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0.70 oz (19.84 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
