Product Information

Full details

The HORI PS5 USB Charging Play Cable is a 3-meter, braided USB-C to USB-A cable designed for PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers. It offers fast and stable charging, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay, making it ideal for gamers who need a longer, more reliable charging solution. A potential drawback is its USB 2.0 specification, which might limit data transfer speeds compared to newer standards, though this is generally not a concern for charging purposes.

FAQs

Is this cable compatible with controllers other than the PS5 DualSense?

Yes, the USB-A to USB-C connection is compatible with any device that charges via USB-C, provided the power source is adequate. However, it is specifically designed and licensed for the PS5 DualSense controller.

Does the 3-meter length affect charging speed?

The 3-meter length is designed to accommodate charging needs without significantly impacting charging speed, thanks to its support for up to 3A output. The USB 2.0 standard itself can handle this power delivery.

Can I use this cable for data transfer?

While it is a USB 2.0 cable and technically capable of data transfer, it is optimized for charging. For high-speed data transfer, a USB 3.0 or higher cable would be recommended, though this is typically not needed for controller charging.

What does 'Officially Licensed by Sony' mean?

This means the product has met Sony's standards for performance, quality, and safety when used with the PlayStation 5. It ensures guaranteed compatibility and reliable operation.

How durable is the braided cable and metal housing?

The braided jacket and metal housing are designed to provide enhanced durability compared to standard plastic-coated cables. They offer protection against wear, tangles, and physical stress, but like all cables, they can be damaged with extreme force or misuse.

What is the maximum output current and voltage?

The cable supports a maximum output current of 3 A and an output voltage of 5 V, enabling fast charging for compatible devices.

Troubleshooting

Controller not charging

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB-A port on the PS5 or a different power adapter. Verify the USB-C port on the controller is clean and free of debris.

Slow charging speed

Confirm you are using a USB-A port on the PS5 console itself or a power adapter capable of delivering sufficient output (up to 3A). Very old or low-power USB ports may not provide optimal charging speeds.

Cable feels loose at connection

Check for any obstructions in the controller's USB-C port or the console's USB-A port. The metal housing is designed for a snug fit; if it feels excessively loose, ensure no debris is present. If the issue persists, contact support.

Cable fraying or damage

Although designed for durability, excessive force or sharp bends can damage any cable. If you notice visible damage, discontinue use immediately to prevent electrical hazards and contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Connect the USB-A end of the cable to a USB-A port on your PlayStation 5 console or a compatible USB power adapter.
  2. Connect the USB-C end of the cable to the charging port on your PlayStation 5 DualSense controller.
  3. The controller will indicate it is charging. No software or drivers are required.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Use: PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controllers.
  • Other Devices: Compatible with any device featuring a USB-C port that supports charging via USB-A to USB-C connection (e.g., some smartphones, tablets, and other accessories), provided the device and power source support USB 2.0 charging specifications.
  • Note: While it supports USB 2.0, it is optimized for charging and not high-speed data transfer.

Care:

  • Avoid sharply bending or kinking the cable, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep the cable and connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure connectors are fully inserted but do not force them.
  • Store the cable loosely coiled when not in use to prevent stress on the internal wires.
