Full details
This GVC USB data cable is designed for users needing a durable and reliable connection for their Type C devices. Its primary benefit is enhanced durability with metal and polycarbonate connectors, ensuring a longer lifespan compared to standard cables. A key consideration is that it specifically supports Type C enabled devices for charging Android devices, meaning it is not compatible with other connector types. The cable offers charging, syncing, and data transfer capabilities over its 1-metre length.
