Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable implements the USB 2.0 specification with 20/28 AWG wiring that balances current capacity with flexibility. The USB-A male connector uses a standard 4-pin configuration, while the USB-C male connector employs a 24-pin design that supports both data and power delivery.
Shielding throughout the cable reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connections even in electrically noisy environments. The nickel plating on connectors resists corrosion and maintains reliable electrical contact over repeated insertions and removals.
