Know before you buy
The Artisanal Aviator Cable is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that utilize a USB-C port. Please ensure your specific keyboard model supports a standard USB-C connection before purchasing.
The aviator connector allows for a quick disconnect between the coiled and straight sections of the cable. This makes it easy to swap out different keyboard cables without unplugging the entire assembly from your computer.
The cable has a total length of 6 feet, which includes the 5.5-inch coil. The coiled design helps manage slack on your desk, keeping your workspace tidy while providing enough flexibility for most standard desk setups.
The double-sleeved nylon braiding serves both purposes. It provides a premium, textured look while significantly increasing the cable's resistance to fraying and internal wire damage compared to standard plastic cables.
The 2-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. If you experience issues with connectivity or construction during this period, you are eligible for a repair or replacement.
