USB-C to USB-C cable AXAGON BUCM32-CM05AB — USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, 0.5 m, black

AXAGON BUCM32-CM05AB is a 0.5 m USB-C to USB-C cable designed for high-speed data transfer, video transmission and device charging. With support for USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (up to 20 Gb/s) and backward compatibility with earlier USB standards, the cable connects laptops, phones, tablets, external SSDs, docking stations and monitors. Gold-plated contacts, nickel-plated connector surfaces and a nylon braided jacket increase durability and ensure stable signal transmission.

Advantages

The cable supports data rates up to 20 Gb/s and easily handles 10 Gb/s devices, provides up to 4K@60Hz video output and carries power up to 100W via an integrated E-MARK chip. Power Delivery 3.0, Quick Charge and other fast-charging standards are supported. Conductors use tin‑plated oxygen‑free copper with 22AWG power and 32AWG data wires, triple shielding and flexible TPE insulation for reliable performance and longevity; the braid and strain relief extend the lifetime to over 8,000 bends. The compact 0.5 m length and included fastening strip make the cable convenient to store and use.

How to use

Plug one USB‑C male connector into the host device (laptop, phone, tablet or dock) and the other into the target device (external drive, monitor, charger or another USB‑C device). For high data rates and video output, ensure both devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or compatible display alternate mode. To charge laptops or other devices at up to 100W, use a compatible USB‑C PD charger or a PD‑capable docking station. The cable is reversible — either end can be used in either port.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible USB‑C ports that support the required data, video or power profiles; avoid sharp bends near the connectors and secure the cable with the supplied fastening strip when storing. For maximum video and data performance, connect directly to a host or dock that advertises USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or equivalent specifications.
