USB-C is Reversible by Design for Easy Connections
Unlike traditional USB cables that can be plugged in only one way, USB-C connectors are reversible by design. The male USB-C connector plugs into a USB-C port in either direction, eliminating guesswork and providing a fast, easy connection the first time, every time. The connector is also compatible with Thunderbolt™ 3 ports.
Superior Construction Provides Excellent Performance
Premium shielding delivers reliable, error-free signal quality and protection from EMI/RFI line noise that can damage data. Molded nickel-plated connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure excellent conductivity. A flexible PVC jacket and integral strain reliefs provide durability for long service life.
Lifetime Warranty and Environmentally Responsible Design
The U422-003-G2 comes with a limited lifetime warranty. It’s manufactured in compliance with strict RoHS specifications, reflecting Tripp Lite’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
