Usb c data cable from STECS to STEM

Postby Dege » Thu May 02, 2024 14:52

Is this a standard usb c to usb c male cable? In other words, do I need to get the cable from VKB or is it a regular data/charge usb c cable? Upgrading my Standard to a Max and I forgot to get the cable, but shipping what it is, I am hoping I can just buy a standard usbc cable locally.

Definitely a charging cable won't work, but a data USB C to USB C should work. Of course, there are many manufacturers of such cables and the quality varies, so I can't guarantee that :(

Your best bet is with a USB3-capable cable, as the VKB bus interface repurposes some of the extra pins on those. USB2-only cables have no extra pins, and repurposing USB2 pins would have risked damage to all included devices.
