I am getting fed up with trailing cables going everywhere and getting in the way. I wanted a data transfer cable that can be easily and quickly;y stored away and capable of dispensing just the amount of cabler I need when transferring files from my USB-C equipped OnePlus phone to my PC. This new cable from Usams suits the job for me.
The Cable arrived nicely presented in an attractive windowed display box describing the contents on both the front and back as a 'Type-C Stotage Cable'. Don't let that put you off as the cable itself is first rate. Inside the box is just the cable and case, no instructions or further information is included and none are needed.
The cable itself is just one metre in length, fine for desktop use, and is housed in a rather stylish and well-made 50mm diameter aluminum hub. On the underside of the hub the two cable ends are housed, one USB, the other USB-C. The cable ends extend together, just pull them gently to the length you want and they will lock in position. Pull again and release and they will automatically retract to the hub. Make sure to always pull the two ends together, pulling just one plug will not work. The cable itself is of standard thickness and not heavy duty but being protected by the hub it does not need to be.
In use, the cable works a treat and I have used for charging and data transfer and it works just as well as I expected, the same as any other data cable. The retractable format means I have only the cable length I need on display, the excess remaining inside the hub.
The current Amazon price of £7.99 means this is no dearer than a normal decent quality cable. If you need a retractable format USB-C cable then I suggest you look no further.
