Cavo USB S/CONN 13-31046 USB 3.2 Gen 1 3 m

The S/CONN 13-31046 USB cable is a 3 m data cable designed for devices that use USB A to USB C connections. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s. The cable features magnetic shielding and nickel‑plated contacts to improve signal integrity and resist corrosion, and comes in a white finish suitable for home or office use.

Advantages

This USB A to USB C cable provides high-speed data transfer at up to 5 Gbit/s for compatible devices while maintaining backward compatibility with lower USB standards. Magnetic shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable connections, and nickel‑plated contacts increase contact durability and lower oxidation risk. The 3 m length offers extended reach for flexible device placement without the need for immediate proximity to a host port.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops or desktops with USB A ports to smartphones, tablets, or peripherals with USB C
• Transferring large files, backups, and media between compatible devices at high speed
• Using external drives, docking stations, or hubs that accept USB C input while the host has USB A
• Home and office setups where a longer cable run is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (one end) to USB C (other end)
• USB protocol: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 3 m
• Shielding: magnetic shielding for reduced EMI
• Contacts: nickel‑plated contacts for enhanced durability
• Colour: white

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into a compatible host device such as a computer, power adapter, or hub, and insert the USB C connector into the target device such as a phone, tablet, or external drive. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to establish a stable connection. The cable supports hot‑plugging, so devices can be connected or disconnected while powered, but always follow the device manufacturer’s guidelines for safe removal during active transfers.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable with devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the 5 Gbit/s transfer rate. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent kinking; secure excess length to reduce strain. If charging, confirm the host and device support the desired charging current—this cable is primarily specified for data transfer and connector compatibility.
