Hello, I wonder whether anyone has used a third party USB cable with the OAK-1 Size is a an critical constraint in my application, and therefore I would like to use a "right angled" USB-C cable, something like this: [URL=https://i.imgur.com/PXtia5E.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/PXtia5E.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Would any normal charging cable work? Won't it cause data rate transfer bottlenecks? In other words, are there any specific data rate specifications I need to look for?

Hello @"hussain_allawati"#p3290 , You should go with the USB 3.0 USB C cable, and from the looks of it, this is USB2 cable, which has 10 times lower bandwidth. You can recognize USB 3 cables by the blue color, see image below. Maybe check a cable [like this](https://www.amazon.com/CableCreation-Transfer-Charging-Compatible-Headset/dp/B08RN2VMCC/ref=sr_1_11?crid=2JBM1E6JMEXFP&keywords=usb+3+cable+usb+c&qid=1648157229&sprefix=usb+3+cable+usb+%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-11), as it's both USB 3 and is angled.

@"hussain_allawati"#p3297 Yes, as long as it isn't long.

@"erik"#p3300 Thank you, I ordered this cable from Tether Tools [URL=https://i.imgur.com/r817OiN.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/r817OiN.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Will post an update upon receiving and testing it

Hello,

I wonder whether anyone has used a third party USB cable with the OAK-1
Size is a an critical constraint in my application, and therefore I would like to use a "right angled" USB-C cable, something like this:

Would any normal charging cable work? Won't it cause data rate transfer bottlenecks?
In other words, are there any specific data rate specifications I need to look for?

Erik, thank you for your reply.

Yeah my bad I posted a USB 2.0 cable image by mistake ...

Anyways, I understand that ANY USB 3.0 cable would work?

erik

hussain_allawati Yes, as long as it isn't long.
