6-Foot USB-C to USB-C Cable (USB 3.0, Male to Male)

6-Foot USB-C to USB-C Cable: The Cable That Turns a USB-C Recorder Into a Desktop USB Microphone

This 6-foot USB Type-C to Type-C cable is the connection between a USB-C audio recorder (like the Zoom M2 MicTrak) and a USB-C computer, tablet, or smartphone. USB-C is the connector standard on every modern Mac, Windows ultrabook, USB-C tablet, and current-generation USB-C smartphone — and a recorder is only as useful as the cable that gets it onto the desk. 6 feet is the length that lets the recorder sit comfortably in front of the user with the computer set back, no awkward dongle dance, no short-cable tension on the connector.

USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) Speed and 2.4 A Power Delivery

The cable supports USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 Gen 1 data rates up to 5 Gbps, which is far more bandwidth than any audio stream requires, and it carries up to 2.4 A of power delivery so it can bus-power a USB-C recorder when batteries are unavailable. For a Zoom M2 sitting on the desk for a podcast or stream, the cable is both the data path for the audio AND the power source for the recorder.

Shielded Male-to-Male Construction

The 6-foot run is fully shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference from monitors, Wi-Fi routers, LED lights, and other USB devices on the desk. Both ends are USB-C male connectors — pure point-to-point with no adapter or dongle in the middle to create another failure point. The shielded jacket also gives the cable enough physical integrity to survive coil-and-uncoil cycles for podcasters who pack and unpack a mobile rig.

For Podcasters, Streamers, and Field Recordists Who Work on USB-C Hardware

First-timer: this is the cable that makes a USB-C recorder work with a current-generation laptop or tablet. Upgrader: replaces a too-short retail cable that forced the recorder to sit too close to the screen. Comparison shopper: any quality 6-foot shielded USB-C cable does the job; this one is the length and connector type that matches the modern USB-C device on the desk.
