Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum data transfer speed for this cable?
This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 2 or USB 3.0), with a maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps (10000 Mbit/s).
Is this cable compatible with USB 2.0 devices?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 devices, but the data transfer speed will be limited to the speed of the older standard.
What is the difference between USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2?
USB 3.2 Gen 1 supports speeds up to 5Gbps, while USB 3.2 Gen 2 (which this cable is *not*) supports speeds up to 10Gbps. The naming convention can be confusing; this cable is labeled as USB 3.2 Gen 1 but supports the higher 10Gbps speed previously associated with USB 3.1 Gen 2.
Can I use this cable to charge my smartphone?
Yes, this cable can be used to charge smartphones and other USB-C devices, provided your power adapter and device support USB charging standards. The charging speed will depend on the power delivery capabilities of the connected devices.
What does 'triple shielded' mean for this cable?
Triple shielding refers to an enhanced construction that includes multiple layers of shielding material to protect the data conductors from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a more stable and reliable signal.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Lindy provides a 10-year warranty for this cable, reflecting its durable construction and expected longevity.
What is the cable diameter?
The cable has a diameter of 4.5 mm.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or connection is intermittent.
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Try using a different USB port on your host device and a different USB-C port on your peripheral. Verify that your host device and peripheral support the expected USB 3.2 Gen 1 (10Gbps) speeds; if not, the connection will default to a lower speed. Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors.
Data transfer speeds are slower than expected.
Confirm that both the source and destination devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (10Gbps) or higher. The transfer speed is limited by the slowest component in the chain (host, cable, or peripheral). Ensure no other high-bandwidth USB devices are heavily utilizing the same USB controller. Test with different devices to isolate the bottleneck.
USB Type-C connector does not fit or requires excessive force.
The USB Type-C connector is reversible. Ensure you are attempting to insert it in the correct orientation. Do not force the connection; if it doesn't insert smoothly, flip the connector and try again. Check the port on your device for any obstructions.
