Frequently Asked Questions
Is USB Type-C the same as USB 10Gbps?
No. USB Type-C identifies the connector type. Data capability is a separate specification.
What is the difference between the 3A and 5A USB 2.0 cables?
Both current product configurations support USB 2.0 data up to 480Mbps, but they differ in current capability and E-marker configuration.
Does every 5A USB-C cable automatically support the same wattage?
No. Complete power capability depends on the cable design and applicable USB Power Delivery requirements.
Can these products be customized?
Yes. For customer-specific OEM configurations, visit Custom USB-C Cable Assemblies.
