What is the warranty period for this cable?
This cable comes with a 10-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or connection unstable
Ensure the USB Type C connector is fully inserted into the host device and the Micro-USB B connector is fully inserted into the peripheral. Try a different USB Type C port on the host device. Verify that both devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1 or higher for optimal performance. Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors.
Slow data transfer speeds
Confirm that both the host device and the peripheral device support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) or a faster USB standard. Ensure you are not connecting to a USB 2.0 port, which will limit speeds. Close unnecessary applications running on the host device that might be consuming system resources.
Cable does not fit the port
Verify that you are using the correct ports: USB Type C on one end and Micro-USB B on the other. Ensure no debris is obstructing the port or connector. For the USB Type C connector, try flipping it to the other orientation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High data transfer speeds (up to 5Gbps)
- Durable, professional-grade construction
- Corrosion-resistant materials for longevity
- Reversible USB Type C connector for ease of use
- Excellent signal integrity due to shielding and plating
Cons
- Specific connector type (USB-C to Micro-B) limits compatibility
- Maximum transfer speed of 5Gbps, not suitable for USB 3.2 Gen 2 or higher applications
- Requires compatible USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on both devices
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply plug the USB Type C connector into a compatible USB Type C port on your host device (e.g., computer, hub) and the Micro-USB B connector into your peripheral device (e.g., external drive, camera). The reversible nature of the Type C connector means it can be inserted in either orientation. Ensure both devices are powered on.
Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type C port (host) and a Micro-USB B port (peripheral). It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1) specifications, providing speeds up to 5Gbps. While backward compatible with USB 2.0 speeds, using it with older USB versions will limit performance to those slower standards.
Care: Keep connectors clean and free from debris. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. The tinned copper conductors and nickel-plated connectors are designed for corrosion resistance, but regular cleaning will help maintain optimal performance.
