Cabo USB UNITEK U305A 5m USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB C cinzento

The UNITEK U305A USB Cable is a 5 m USB C to USB C cable designed for devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1). It provides data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s and features nickel-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance and reliable signal connection. The grey jacket and flexible construction make the cable suitable for desktop, home entertainment and office setups where extended reach is required.

Advantages

This USB C cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 devices. The 5 metre length reduces the need for adapters or repositioning of devices and allows convenient cable routing in larger workspaces. Nickel-plated contacts help maintain consistent connectivity over repeated insertions and reduce the risk of contact degradation. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance and good resistance to visible dirt in everyday environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops, tablets and smartphones with USB C ports for high-speed file transfer
• Linking external SSDs, HDDs or docking stations that accept USB C input
• Extending USB C connections across a desk, meeting room or living area
• Home office setups where longer reach is required between devices and hubs

How to use

Insert each USB C connector into the USB C ports on the two devices you wish to connect, ensuring correct orientation before applying gentle pressure until the connector seats. For optimal performance, connect devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the stated data transfer rates; the cable remains compatible with lower-speed USB standards if devices do not support USB 3.2. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and allow the cable to rest without strain to preserve mechanical integrity and signal quality.

Recommendations

For stable high-speed transfers, use the cable with devices and hosts that explicitly support USB 3.2 Gen 1. If using with portable drives, ensure the drive has its own power or that the host provides sufficient power. Route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable when in regular use.
