USB 3.1 Type-C Locking Cable for Industrial Cameras
This five-metre cable links a USB 3.1 Type-C port with a locking screw to a standard USB 3.0 Type-A connector. It targets machine-vision integrators and technicians who need a vibration-resistant tether for industrial cameras in factory or lab environments. The reversible Type-C plug simplifies insertion on the camera side.
Passive Copper Link with Thumbscrew Retention
No active electronics or external power are described, so thermals and noise are negligible in normal operation. The cable draws only the bus power permitted by the USB 3.0 specification. Heat dissipation is limited to the conductors and connector housings under standard data-throughput loads.
Panel-Mount Screw and Locking Type-C Shell
The Type-C end features a threaded locking shell that mates with a panel-mount screw on the camera housing, preventing accidental disconnects. The Type-A end is a conventional friction-fit plug for host controllers or hubs. The 500 cm length suits fixed installations where the camera and host are separated by cable trays or conduit.
Build Quality and Daily Handling
The locking mechanism is designed for repeated mating cycles in industrial settings. Thumbscrew engagement provides tactile confirmation of a secure connection without tools. The cable jacket and strain reliefs are built to withstand routing through panels and cable carriers where movement or vibration could otherwise unseat a standard connector.

Questions about this item
How do I secure the USB 3.1 Type-C locking connector to my industrial camera panel?
Align the thumbscrew on the Type-C plug with the panel mount thread, insert the reversible connector, then tighten the screw by hand until the cable cannot pull free.
What part of this 500CM cable is most likely to need replacement after repeated locking cycles?
The thumbscrew threads on the Type-C locking connector wear first; keep a spare Fervit locking cable on hand for quick swap-out.
At what length does signal integrity become the limiting factor on this 500CM USB 3.0 data run?
The 500CM length is the practical maximum for USB 3.0 speeds; beyond it, data errors appear before the locking mechanism fails.
