Acroname Universal Orientation Cables (UOCs) are specialized USB-C cables designed to automate testing of both sides of a USB-C receptacle when used with the USBHub3c or USB-C-Switch. Unlike standard USB cables that require manual flipping, Acroname UOCs enable programmatic switching between orientations. These cables pass VConn and CC signals through without the standard Ra termination.
Unlock the Power of Secure Connections: Acroname’s Premium Locking USB-C SolutionsSometimes you really want your USB-C cables to stay put. Our screw-lock USB-C cables connect to devices that support single-screw locking like our USBHub3c USB-C hub. Three versions are available:
USB cables can be a huge headache. They're deceptively simple, with huge amounts of variation underneath the same broad categories — and that's not even touching on cables that are labeled incorrectly.
We're going to look at some of the top USB cable blunders that test engineers make: mistakes can seriously undermine your test results and render the data you get back useless. Of course, we'll also look at how to avoid these common pitfalls and share some technological advancements that can safeguard against human error and poorly labeled cables in your testing process.
Lumafield, experts in Industrial CT scanning, focus their X-ray vision on USB-C cables to show us what’s inside. The resulting interactive 3-D scans are incredibly detailed, and it’s absolutely worth your time to click through to view the scans in their Voyager web application.
They look at 4 cables:
With the rise of USB-C technology, the demand for compatible cables has also increased. However, not all USB-C cables are created equal. While they may all have the same connector, they have drastically different capabilities, including current/voltage ratings, eMarked or not, passive or active, and support for alternate modes like DisplayPort or Thunderbolt. In this blog post, we will explore the different types of USB-C cables and how devices identify the cable type.
