USB Type-C Data Cable ShiverPeaks BS13-57405 — USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, TPE, 4 m

ShiverPeaks BS13-57405 is a 4 m USB Type-C data cable designed for high-throughput connections. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 signaling for fast bidirectional transfer and uses durable thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) as the outer jacket. The cable has Type-C connectors on both ends and is intended for linking PCs, laptops, external drives and other USB-C peripherals where extended reach and consistent high performance are required.

Advantages

The cable offers USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 transfer capability, enabling higher aggregated bandwidth for compatible hosts and devices. A 4 m length allows flexible placement of equipment without the need for adapters or repeaters in many setups. The TPE jacket provides improved flexibility and resistance to abrasion compared with some basic PVC cables, while the Type-C connectors support reversible insertion and broad device compatibility.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops and desktops to external SSDs or RAID enclosures where high transfer rates are beneficial
• Workstation setups requiring longer cable runs between host and peripheral
• Data transfer tasks such as large file movement, backups and media editing where USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 throughput is supported
• Integrating USB-C hubs or docks positioned away from the main system

When it may not be suitable

This cable requires both host and device to support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to achieve the maximum specified throughput; if one side only supports a lower USB generation, transfer speeds will fall back accordingly. It is not intended as a power-only charging lead for high-current applications unless the connected devices negotiate appropriate power delivery over the Type-C connection.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type-C to USB Type-C
• Data standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
• Length: 4 metres
• Jacket material: Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
• Primary use: High-speed data transmission between USB-C devices

How to use

Connect one Type-C end to the host device (PC, laptop or hub) and the other to the target peripheral (external drive, dock or compatible device). Ensure both devices are powered on and that the operating systems or device firmware support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 to make use of the maximum transfer rate. Route the 4 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors; the TPE jacket provides flexibility but avoiding kinks will prolong service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both host and peripheral support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 if maximum bandwidth is required
• Assess whether a 4 m cable length meets your setup and routing needs without causing signal degradation in your environment
• Check device power delivery requirements separately if you intend to use the cable for charging or powering equipment

Usage recommendations

For reliable high-speed transfers, use the cable for direct connections between compatible USB-C devices and avoid chaining multiple passive cables or untested adapters. Store the cable coiled without tight loops and protect connector ends from dust when not in use.
