Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply connect the male USB Type-C connector on one end of the cable to a USB Type-C port on your source device (e.g., laptop, computer) and the other male USB Type-C connector to your destination device (e.g., external drive, monitor, charger). Due to the reversible nature of the USB-C connector, ensure a firm but gentle insertion. For optimal performance, ensure both connected devices and their respective ports support USB 3.2 Gen 2 specifications.
Compatibility: This cable is backward compatible with USB 3.0, USB 3.1, and USB 2.0 devices, though it will operate at the speed of the slowest component. It supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode, meaning it can transmit video signals if both the host device and the display/docking station support this feature. It is also E-marked for 100W Power Delivery.
Care:
- Avoid bending the cable sharply or applying excessive force to the connectors.
- Keep connectors clean; use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
- Store the cable in a dry environment when not in use.
- Ensure the cable is unplugged from devices before cleaning or storage.
