USB Type-C Latch-Lock Extension Cable (USB 3.1, 5 Gbps, Over-Molded Strain Relief, USB-IF Latch)
USB Type-C male to female extension cable with positive latch lock, USB-IF compliant latch footprint, USB 3.1 Gen1 5 Gbps, over-moulded strain relief, 360-degree EMI shielding and gold-plated contacts. The integrated latch clicks audibly into a compatible receptacle, providing vibration-resistant retention without loose parts – ideal for industrial vision, factory automation and renewable energy installations.
Overview
USB Type-C extension cable with a positive, over-moulded latch lock on both ends. The latch is formed as part of the connector housing during over-moulding, not glued or clipped on, so it cannot crack, fall off or lose retention force. The cable is built around USB-IF compliant latch geometry and 360-degree EMI shielding, delivering a 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen1 signal that survives the vibration profile of machine-vision cells, robotic end-effectors, inverter cabinets and renewable-energy installations.
Key Features
- USB 3.1 Gen1, 5 Gbps, supports USB 2.0 and BC 1.2 charging
- Positive latch lock over-moulded as one piece with the connector body
- Audible / tactile click confirms full seating on the first try
- Pull-out resistance >50 N versus the 8-20 N of a standard Type-C friction fit
- 360-degree metal-shell termination to the cable braid (no pigtail antenna)
- Gold-plated contacts, industrial PVC jacket, 100 percent shielded differential pairs
Typical Applications
- Factory automation: PLC cabinets, sensor lines, HMI panels
- Industrial robotics and motion control: end-of-arm tooling, moving-axis harnesses
- Renewable energy: inverter and combiner-box data links
- Machine vision: vibration-proof USB 3.x camera links to host PCs
- Commercial and industrial security, access control and surveillance
