USB Type-C Data Cable Flexline FL31-57405, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, TPE, 4 m

The Flexline FL31-57405 is a USB Type-C data cable designed for devices with USB-C ports. It supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 protocol and is fitted with Type-C connectors on both ends. The cable has a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket and a length of 4 m, providing extended reach for connecting laptops, external drives, docking stations and other peripherals where a longer cable run is required.

Advantages

The cable delivers high-speed bidirectional data transfer compliant with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, enabling fast file movement between compatible devices. Its USB-C to USB-C configuration keeps connector orientation uniform and compatible with modern hosts and peripherals. The 4 m length reduces the need for repositioning equipment and offers more flexible placement of connected devices. The TPE jacket provides a balance of flexibility and durability suitable for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files between computers and external SSDs or HDDs that support USB-C
• Connecting laptops or tablets to USB-C docking stations and hubs
• Using with peripherals such as external drives, monitors with USB-C input, and compatible audio interfaces
• Setups that require a longer cable run while maintaining high data throughput

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for data transfer and general USB-C connectivity where USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 performance is supported by both host and device. It will not increase transfer speeds if either connected device does not support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or equivalent. The cable's length could introduce cable management challenges in tight spaces or setups that require very compact routing.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C
• USB protocol: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
• Cable length: 4 m
• Jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one USB-C end to the host device and the other to the target peripheral. Ensure both devices support the desired USB protocol to achieve maximum data rates. Handle the cable without excessive bending near the connectors and route it to avoid sharp edges or pinching. For devices that negotiate power delivery, use the cable with compatible adapters or hubs as required by your setup.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both your host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to utilize maximum data throughput.
• Consider whether a 4 m length is appropriate for your workspace and cable management needs.
• Check device power delivery requirements separately; data cables may not guarantee specific PD performance unless explicitly specified by the device or cable vendor.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use the Flexline FL31-57405 between devices that both support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from high-heat sources. When connecting to docking stations or drives, confirm firmware and driver updates on your devices to ensure optimal compatibility.
