USB Type-C Cable ShiverPeaks BS13-57255, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, TPE, 2.5 m

The ShiverPeaks USB Type-C Cable BS13-57255 is a 2.5 m data and power connection cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 signaling for high-speed transfers. The cable uses reversible Type-C connectors at both ends and a TPE jacket that balances flexibility with durability. It is designed to connect compatible laptops, external drives, docks and peripherals where extended reach and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

This cable offers high theoretical bandwidth by using the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 specification, enabling faster file transfers and improved throughput for bandwidth-demanding tasks. The 2.5 m length provides extra reach compared with standard cables, allowing more flexible device placement. A TPE outer jacket improves resistance to kinking and provides a flexible feel while maintaining durability for repeated use. Reversible Type-C connectors simplify connection without worrying about plug orientation.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files between external SSD/HDD and a compatible computer at high speed
• Connecting USB-C docking stations and hubs that require high bandwidth
• Linking cameras, audio interfaces or other peripherals that use USB-C for data streaming
• Workstation setups where a 2.5 m cable run is needed for flexible device placement

When it may not be suitable

This cable follows the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 signaling specification; however, real-world transfer speeds depend on the connected devices and their supported USB generation. If either end device supports only older USB standards, the effective throughput will be limited to the lower supported speed. The cable is not specified here for specialized power delivery beyond normal USB-C charging rates, so it may not be suitable as a replacement when a specific high-wattage power delivery cable is required.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C reversible connectors on both ends
• Data standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 signaling (high-bandwidth data transfer)
• Length: 2.5 metres
• Jacket material: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for flexibility and durability
• Primary use: Data transfer and device connection between USB-C enabled devices

How to use

Connect one USB Type-C end to your host device (laptop, docking station or computer) and the other end to the target device (external drive, peripheral or hub). Ensure both connected devices support the same or compatible USB generations to achieve the highest possible transfer rates. Handle the cable by the connector housings when plugging and unplugging to reduce strain on the cable and avoid sharp bends at the ends. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinks and prolong its service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to benefit from maximum data throughput
• Check required power delivery specifications if you intend to use the cable for device charging or powering high-wattage devices
• Confirm that a 2.5 m cable length fits your workspace and routing needs

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with devices and hosts that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or higher. Avoid placing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference and prevent tight coils or sharp bends. When transporting, keep connectors protected to reduce wear and maintain reliable connections.
