The Automotive USB 3.1 Type-C Cable is a customized data cable featuring USB Type-C connectors at both ends, with part number PCN-ZC-0278. One end of the product uses a Z-Code encoded USB-C connector, compatible with TE Connectivity 2398010-5; the other end is a USB-C connector. The cable has a black PVC sheath with an outer diameter of 5.5 mm, suitable for device connection projects requiring specific Type-C interface structures and cable dimensions.

This series offers three length specifications: 0.5 m, 0.8 m, and 1 m, allowing selection of the corresponding model based on the installation distance between devices and the wiring path.

This automotive USB Type-C cable provides a wired connection between compatible devices. Data transmission and other functions depend on the host, connected device, internal wiring, and communication protocols.

In automotive electronics development, pre-assembled cables integrate connectors and wiring, reducing on-site assembly and simplifying the standardization of cable length, appearance, and inspection requirements.

PCM-ZC-0278 is available in multiple lengths to suit different installation distances. For OEM customization or bulk orders, confirm cable length, connector compatibility, electrical specifications, and testing requirements against the equipment drawings.

Product Features

USB-C Connectors at Both Ends

Both ends of the cable are equipped with USB-C connectors, with one end being a Z Code straight connector and the other end being a USB-C connector. This set is suitable for device interconnection projects that require specific two-end interface configurations.

Multiple Standard Length Options

The drawing specifies 0.5 m, 0.8 m and 1 m versions to accommodate different installation distances. Selecting the cable according to the actual routing path can help reduce excessive cable accumulation or installation difficulties caused by insufficient length.

Black PVC Jacket Construction

The black PVC jacket and specified 5.5 mm outer diameter define the external cable construction. These details help customers evaluate routing clearance, cable clamps and assembly paths, while specific material properties must be verified against the official material data.

Does the Same USB-C Connector Mean the Same Cable Functionality ?

USB-C describes a connector form factor, but its appearance alone does not determine a cable's data rate, power capability or other functions. Different USB-C cables may have different internal conductor arrangements, shielding designs, connector constructions and electrical performance.

When selecting an Automotive USB 3.1 Type-C Cable, verify the USB version supported by the equipment, required data functions, power requirements and complete cable specifications. For automotive electronics projects, also validate compatibility against the actual installation environment and system design rather than assuming that physical fit guarantees full functionality.

Typical Applications

◆ In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems

It can be used for wired connections between automotive infotainment systems compatible with USB-C interfaces, such as in-car multimedia units, infotainment control modules, and related electronic devices. Provided that the device interface definitions and communication protocol requirements are met, this cable can serve as part of a data connection solution between devices, facilitating the integration of interfaces for in-car multimedia systems.

◆ Automotive Electronics Development and Test Benches

During automotive electronics development, laboratory testing and prototype evaluation, engineers often use standardized cables to connect electronic modules for interface checks, communication verification and system integration. The PCM-ZC-0278 can serve as a connection assembly between test equipment with compatible USB-C interfaces, subject to the interface definitions and electrical requirements of the test platform.

Product FAQ

What Is the Role of a USB-C Z-Code Straight Connector in Equipment Routing ?

The USB-C Z-Code straight connector provides a defined interface configuration for equipment connectivity. Its mechanical construction and orientation affect how the cable mates with the equipment port. For PCM-ZC-0278, verify connector clearance, mating orientation and surrounding component spacing against the equipment drawings to ensure the cable can follow the intended routing path.

How Can You Verify Whether This Cable Meets a Device's Data Transmission Requirements ?

First, identify the USB version, required data functions and interface definitions supported by the equipment. Then verify the cable's internal wiring, construction and length. For high-speed data applications, conduct the relevant electrical performance tests against the target protocol. The USB-C connector shape or product name alone cannot establish the actual data transmission capability of the complete cable.

Can This USB-C Cable Support Functions Beyond Data Connectivity ?

USB Type-C systems may support data communication, power delivery or other defined functions, but the actual capabilities depend on the equipment, internal cable wiring, connector configuration and target protocol. The functions supported by PCM-ZC-0278 must be confirmed against the complete cable specifications and test results rather than inferred from the connector type alone.

Does Premier Cable Offer Wholesale and OEM Services ?

Premier Cable can evaluate connector integration, custom cable assemblies, OEM manufacturing, and volume procurement according to project requirements.
