Cable USB ShiverPeaks 77141-1.8 USB 3.2 Gen 1 1,8 m

The ShiverPeaks 77141-1.8 USB cable is a 1.8 meter USB C to USB A data cable designed for devices requiring USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also marketed as USB 3.1 Gen 1) connectivity. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s and is finished in black for a discreet, professional appearance. The cable combines standard USB A compatibility with modern USB C device support to connect laptops, external drives, smartphones and peripherals.

Advantages

This USB C to USB A cable provides high-speed data transfer at USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance levels, enabling faster file moves compared with USB 2.0. The 1.8 m length offers greater reach than shorter cables, reducing the need to place devices directly next to each other. The black outer jacket gives a neutral look that matches most hardware while helping to conceal wear from frequent use. The cable is suitable for charging and data transfer where USB A power sources and USB C devices are used together.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives or SSDs to a computer for backups and file transfer
• Syncing and charging USB-C smartphones, tablets or accessories from USB-A ports
• Linking peripherals such as docking stations, hubs or media players to USB-A hosts
• Using with laptops and desktop PCs that have USB-A ports but need USB-C device connectivity

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB C (device side) to USB A (host side)
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1.8 m

How to use

Connect the USB A end to a computer, charger or hub that supplies power and USB host functionality. Insert the USB C connector into the USB-C device such as an external drive, smartphone or peripheral. Ensure both devices support the required USB mode for high-speed transfers; if the host supports only USB 2.0, transfer speeds will be limited accordingly. Use gently curved routing and avoid sharp bends to maintain cable integrity over time.

Recommendations

For best results, use ports and devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve full 5 Gbit/s transfer speeds. When transferring large files or performing backups, keep the cable free from tight bends and excessive tension, and connect directly to the host rather than through unpowered hubs when possible.
