ADT-Link USB 3.0 Extension Cable - Type A Male To Female Flat Ribbon 5cm FPC

About This Product

Tech folks and DIY enthusiasts, this ADT-Link USB cable is seriously specialized but incredibly useful for certain projects! It's a USB 3.0 Type A male to Type A female flat cable, but here's what makes it special - it's that slim, flexible ribbon style that's only 5cm long (that's about 2 inches for us non-metric folks). The flat design means it can fit in tight spaces where regular bulky cables won't work. The transfer speed supports up to Gen1x1 5Gbps, which is plenty fast for most applications, and the current capacity is 1.5A within 50cm, so it can handle power delivery nicely. Now, here's the important part - this isn't your typical consumer USB cable. It's specifically designed for connecting built-in USB devices in projects like GPS navigators, ROCK Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi microcontroller development boards, brushless pan/tilts, steering gear pan/tilts, Xiaosi pan/tilts, SLR handheld pan/tilts for USB power supply and AV transmission, and similar technical applications. The company is very clear that this is for engineers and specific projects - it's not meant for general consumer use as your everyday USB extension cable. The cable is only 1.4mm thick and can be bent and folded without affecting performance, which is huge when you're working in confined spaces. There's no metal shielding, but they use this advanced EMI shielding with conducting polymer that protects against electromagnetic interference. If you're working on a project where space is tight and you need a reliable USB connection, this cable could be exactly what you need. But definitely buy 1-2 samples first to test before ordering in bulk, and understand that because of its specialized nature and fragile structure, it doesn't support returns and exchanges. For the right person working on the right project, this flat USB cable is an absolute game-changer that solves space problems you didn't even know you had!
