Compact USB-C link for tight spaces

This 12 cm USB 3.1 cable connects a USB-A port to a USB-C device using a flat flexible printed circuit. The ribbon construction lets it bend sharply behind laptops, tablets or headsets without kinking. It is aimed at users who need a short, low-profile tether for charging and data on the move.

Flat FPC build changes routing and heat

The flexible printed circuit replaces a round wire bundle, so the cable lies flat against surfaces and dissipates heat through its broad face. Gold-plated connectors and an aluminium shell resist corrosion while a 56 kΩ resistor enables safe 3 A charging with Quick Charge 3.0. Data moves at up to 5 Gbps.

Plug in and route; watch orientation

No drivers or tools are required — simply insert the USB-A end into the host and the USB-C end into the device. The only common issue is forcing the reversible USB-C plug upside-down in low light, which can bend the thin FPC if excessive pressure is applied.

Questions about this item

How does the flat FPC construction hold up to repeated bending compared with a round cable?

The flexible printed circuit inside the ribbon-style body is designed to be bent and folded without crimping, so it resists fatigue better than a conventional round cable.

What throughput ceiling appears first during a long file transfer?

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 link caps sustained data rates at 5 Gbps, so the interface bandwidth is the limiting factor before the cable itself.

Does the 56 kΩ resistor and aluminium connector housing keep the cable cool during all-day charging at 3 A?

The built-in 56 kΩ resistor ensures safe current negotiation, and the aluminium alloy shells plus TPE jacket help dissipate heat during continuous 3 A charging.
