Product Information

Full details

This Lindy Black Line USB 3.2 Type A to C cable is designed for home and small office users seeking reliable, high-speed data transfer. It offers SuperSpeed+ USB 10Gbps performance, ensuring rapid transfer of large files. While it provides excellent build quality for an entry-level cable, its primary limitation is that it only supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds (up to 5Gbps), despite the 'USB 3.2 Gen 1' naming convention. Key features include triple shielding, tinned copper conductors, and gold-plated contacts for signal integrity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable supports SuperSpeed+ USB 10Gbps, which corresponds to USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 2).

Is this cable compatible with USB 2.0 devices?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, but data transfer speeds will be limited to the capabilities of the older standard (e.g., 480Mbps for USB 2.0).

What is the difference between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 1) supports up to 5Gbps. USB 3.2 Gen 2 (formerly USB 3.1 Gen 2) supports up to 10Gbps. This Lindy cable supports the higher 10Gbps speed, aligning with the USB 3.2 Gen 1 naming convention for 5Gbps and USB 3.2 Gen 2 for 10Gbps.

Does the USB Type-C connector need to be oriented a certain way?

No, the USB Type-C connector is reversible, meaning it can be plugged in either orientation. The cable will establish a connection regardless of how it's inserted.

What materials are used in the construction of this cable?

The cable features a robust PVC housing, tinned copper conductors for the wiring, nickel connectors, and gold-plated contacts for enhanced reliability and signal integrity. The connector shielding is made of aluminum.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Can this cable be used for charging devices?

Yes, this cable can be used for charging devices that support charging via USB-C, depending on the power output capabilities of the connected host device and the power delivery specifications of the peripheral.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or not charging

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the host and device. Try a different USB-A port on the host device. Verify the USB-C device is compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and check the device's power requirements.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the host device's USB-A port and the peripheral device's USB-C port support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (10Gbps) speeds. Ensure you are not using a USB 2.0 port. Check for any other active USB devices that might be consuming bandwidth.

Intermittent connection drops

Inspect the cable for any physical damage. Ensure the connectors are clean. Try using the cable in a different USB-A port. If the issue persists, the cable may be faulty.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps.
  • Durable construction with triple shielding and tinned copper.
  • Gold-plated contacts for reliable signal quality.
  • Entry-level solution for common home and office needs.
  • Comes with a 10-year warranty.

Cons

  • Named as USB 3.2 Gen 1 but supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds up to 10Gbps, which might cause confusion.
  • Entry-level product, may not be suitable for demanding professional environments.
  • Only one meter in length, which might be too short for some setups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This cable is designed for Plug and Play functionality. Simply connect the USB Type-A connector to a compatible USB Type-A port on your host device (computer, hub) and the USB Type-C connector to your peripheral device. No software installation is required.

Compatibility:

  • Host Devices: Compatible with PCs, laptops, and other devices featuring a USB Type-A port.
  • Peripheral Devices: Compatible with devices featuring a USB Type-C port that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (or earlier USB 3.x specifications).
  • Operating Systems: Fully compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS without the need for drivers.
  • Backward Compatibility: Supports older USB standards (USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1) but will operate at the speed of the slowest connected device or port.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the connectors and cable gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
  • Handling: Avoid bending the cable sharply or pulling on the cable itself to disconnect; instead, grip the connector.
  • Environmental: Operate within the specified temperature range of -20 to 80°C.
