Minimalist Shielded Cable
The Digirig USB-AC-SHORT is a 15-inch shielded cable connecting USB-A to USB-C. It targets operators who need a short, RF-resistant link for portable radio or data setups. Copper conductors support 3A charging current. Ferrite beads on both ends suppress interference in sensitive environments.
Replacing Longer Leads
This cable replaces longer, unshielded leads that pick up RFI or add bulk in a go-bag. The jump is worth it when cable routing space is tight and clean signal integrity matters more than reach. It suits fixed desktop links where excess length creates clutter. Builders needing extended distance or right-angle connectors should look elsewhere.
Practical USB Limits
The USB-A interface caps the connection at legacy host speeds and power delivery levels. Shielding and ferrites reduce radiated noise but cannot overcome the connector's inherent bandwidth ceiling. Cable length is fixed at 15 inches, so device placement is constrained. Users requiring higher throughput or alternative connector types need a different cable class.

Questions about this item
How much clearance does the 15-inch cable need between a USB-A port and a USB-C device?
The end-to-end length is 15 inches, so allow at least that much straight-line space plus a small bend radius at each connector.
What is the correct orientation for the ferrite beads when plugging in the cable?
The ferrite beads are fixed on both ends; simply insert the USB-A plug into the host and the USB-C plug into the device — no reversible or directional step is required.
Will the copper conductors or shielding degrade after repeated coiling for portable use?
The copper conductors are rated for 3 A charging current and the shielding is built into the cable jacket; normal coiling for portable operation does not reduce their electrical performance.
