Angelbird Uncoils USB-C 4.0 Solid Flex Cable

Without cables the industry would not work particularly well, and those that like to invest in decent connections now have a new option in the shape of Angelbird's eye-catching Solid Flex.

The new Solid Flex cables are being released hand-in-hand with Angelbird's new Performance CFexpress B Card Reader and support the same speedy 40 Gb/s data transfer, as well as fast charging capabilities of up to 240 W.

Available in a variety of connectors and two colorways, the somewhat striking Lime and the rather more neutral Blue Gray,  they come in three standard lengths for most day-to-day production needs (32 cm / 1 ft, 1 m / 3.3 ft, and 2 m / 6.6 ft). There's also a specialized 4.5 m / 14.8 ft tether cable designed specifically for professional studio workflows.  In addition, a USB-A-to-C Cable ensures maximum compatibility across previous-generation devices as we thankfully transition to the brave new standardised future.

The cables provide high-speed data transfer rates of:
USB-C 4.0 Cable – up to 40 Gb/s via USB-C 4.0 Gen 3x2
USB-C 3.2 Tether Cable – up to 20 Gb/s via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2
USB-A-to-C Cable – up to 10 Gb/s via USB-C 3.2 Gen 2

All support DisplayPort Alt Mode, enabling high-res video output up to 8K at 60 Hz and are built with Solid Flex design and a high-quality woven cotton sleeve for long-lasting durability and easy handling. Straight connectors are Solid Connect compatible, offering a secure, recessed connection point for extra durability.
