ShiverPeaks USB Type-C Data Cable BS13-57015, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, TPE, 0.5 m

The ShiverPeaks USB Type-C Data Cable BS13-57015 is a 0.5 m cable with a TPE jacket that implements USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 data transfer performance. It is intended for direct point-to-point connections between USB-C devices where higher throughput and a short, manageable cable length are required. The cable supports high-speed file transfers and is suitable for connecting external SSDs, docking stations, and other peripherals that can use the full bandwidth of USB 3.2 Gen 2x2.

Advantages

This USB Type-C cable provides the increased throughput available with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 while keeping a compact 0.5 m length to reduce cable clutter and latency. The TPE jacket offers flexibility and abrasion resistance for everyday handling. The cable’s symmetrical USB-C connectors make it easy to plug in either orientation and help ensure consistent, reliable connectivity for compatible devices.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transfer between USB-C hosts and devices
• Connecting external SSDs and fast storage enclosures
• Linking docking stations or hubs to laptops and workstations
• Short, desk-level connections where a compact cable is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This cable is optimized for devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. If either connected device does not support Gen 2x2, the connection will fall back to the highest mutually supported USB mode and will not deliver Gen 2x2 throughput. The 0.5 m length is intentional for reduced clutter; it may not be suitable when longer reach is required.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (supporting higher aggregate bandwidth)
• Cable jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Primary use: data transfer between USB-C devices

How to use

Connect one USB-C end to the host device (for example, a laptop or docking station) and the other end to the peripheral (for example, an external SSD). Ensure both devices support the desired USB mode to achieve maximum throughput. If your device prompts for a data connection mode or permissions, follow on-screen instructions to enable file transfer. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent tight kinks that could stress the jacket or internal conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to make full use of the cable’s bandwidth.
• Confirm that a 0.5 m cable length meets your setup and reach requirements.
• Check device specifications for required power delivery or alternate modes, as this cable is specified for data transfer performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with hosts and peripherals that explicitly list USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support and place devices close together to take advantage of the short 0.5 m length. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid repeated sharp bends to preserve the TPE jacket and maintain consistent data throughput.
