What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this Tripp Lite cable for its specialized design and reliable performance, focusing on its excellent space saving capabilities. The six inch length and crucial right angle USB C connector are frequently cited as lifesavers for tight installations, preventing strain and creating a cleaner aesthetic. Users confirm the cable delivers fast, stable USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfers, making it ideal for high speed peripherals. Build quality is another major strength; the robust construction justifies the price. While the short length is perfect for many, buyers must confirm the six inch specification suits their needs. Overall, this is a high quality, niche solution for superior cable management and connectivity in constrained spaces.
Know before you buy
Yes, the right-angle design is specifically engineered for tight spaces. It reduces cable strain and allows you to connect devices in cramped areas where a straight connector might stick out too far or bend awkwardly.
Yes, this cable supports up to 60W (3A) of power delivery, which is sufficient for charging many tablets and smaller laptops. However, always check your device's specific power requirements to ensure 60W is adequate for your needs.
Absolutely. While it supports high-speed USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfers, it is fully backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1 devices, so it will work with your older peripherals.
The 5 Gbps speed is the maximum potential transfer rate for this cable. Your actual speed will depend on the capabilities of the devices you are connecting; if your device or peripheral is limited to a lower standard, the cable will operate at that lower speed.
At 6 inches, this is a short, specialized cable intended for close-proximity connections, such as connecting a peripheral to a laptop or a device to a nearby port. It is not designed to bridge long distances between devices.
