USB Type-C Cable Flexline FL31-57005 — USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, TPE, 0.25 m

Flexline FL31-57005 is a short USB Type-C connection cable designed for high-speed data transfer between compatible hosts and peripherals. With USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support and a compact 0.25 m length, the cable is intended for short-range connections such as between a laptop and a docking station, external drive, or peripheral where minimal cable slack and high throughput are required. The TPE jacket offers a flexible exterior in a black finish.

Advantages

The cable supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 specification, enabling higher aggregate data rates for compatible devices. Its 0.25 m length reduces clutter and signal loss on short runs and is practical for desktop setups or portable workstation arrangements. The TPE outer material provides flexibility and a tactile surface while maintaining a compact profile. Both ends feature USB Type-C straight male connectors for reversible insertion and broad device compatibility.

Suitable for

• Connecting a laptop to a docking station or hub over a short distance
• Linking external NVMe or SSD enclosures to a host when high transfer speeds are supported
• Short cable runs between USB-C peripherals and computers on a desk or in a mobile setup

When it may not be suitable

The 0.25 m length makes this cable unsuitable for situations that require longer routing, such as connecting devices across a room or when flexible placement is necessary. It is intended for short-range use; if you need extended reach or cable management across larger workspaces, a longer cable should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C (straight male to straight male)
• USB specification: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Outer material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one USB-C connector into the host device and the other into the peripheral or docking station. Ensure both connected devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to achieve the highest data rates; otherwise, the connection will operate at the highest mutually supported USB version. Route the short 0.25 m cable so it does not strain the connectors; the TPE jacket permits gentle bending but avoid sharp kinks. No additional drivers are typically required for basic data connection functions when used with standard operating systems and compatible hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both devices support USB Type-C and the desired USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds for maximum performance
• Evaluate whether a 0.25 m cable length suits your workspace and device placement
• Check device power and charging requirements if the cable will be used for power delivery to ensure compatibility

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for direct, short-range connections where high data throughput is required and minimal cable length is preferred. Avoid using it where longer reach or extensive routing is necessary; for charging or power delivery scenarios, verify device support for the required power profiles.
