SmallRig 5730 USB-C Spiral Data Cable

High-Power USB-C Charging

The SmallRig 5730 USB-C Spiral Data Cable is designed for connecting compatible USB-C devices while supporting high-power charging and data transfer. With USB Power Delivery 3.1 support for charging up to 240 W, it is suitable for compatible laptops, tablets, smartphones and other USB-C equipment that can accept the corresponding power level. The cable's charging capability depends on the connected device and power adapter, allowing it to serve as part of a versatile charging setup for everyday use or professional workflows.

Coiled Design for Flexible Cable Management

The elastic spiral construction allows the cable to extend when devices are moved apart and contract when they are brought closer together. This helps keep excess cable length under control, reducing clutter around a workstation, camera rig or mobile production setup. The coiled format is particularly useful when equipment needs to remain connected while allowing a degree of movement, helping maintain a more organised working area than a conventional straight cable of comparable extended length.

Straight-to-Angled USB-C Connectors

The cable features two USB-C connectors in a straight-to-angled configuration. The angled connector can be useful when a device is positioned close to a surface, mounted in a rig or connected in a confined space, where a straight plug might protrude inconveniently. This arrangement can help reduce cable interference with nearby equipment and improve routing around ports. Before use, check the orientation of the angled connector against the layout of the device and its available USB-C port.

USB 2.0 Data Transfer Support

In addition to charging, the SmallRig 5730 supports USB 2.0 data transfer for compatible devices. It can therefore be used for supported data connections as well as power delivery, although it is not intended to provide the higher data-transfer speeds of USB 3.x or USB4 cables. Actual functionality depends on the connected devices, their ports and the software being used. This makes the cable suitable for setups where charging and standard USB data connectivity are the primary requirements.

Durable Connectors and Flexible Construction

The cable combines an elastic TPU spiral section with aluminium-alloy connectors. TPU provides flexibility for repeated extension and contraction, while the metal connector housings are designed to withstand regular handling. The construction is intended for everyday use in desk-based and mobile equipment configurations, where cables may be connected and disconnected frequently. As with other USB-C cables, avoiding excessive pulling, sharp bends and tension at the connector helps preserve long-term reliability.

Compact Format for Workstations and Mobile Setups

With a stated product size of approximately 350 × 12 × 7 mm and a weight of about 57 g, the cable is compact enough to carry with other electronic accessories. Its coiled design helps limit loose cable length when connected devices are close together, making it practical for desks, travel kits and compatible camera or production rigs. The cable's usable extension depends on the amount of separation required between the connected devices, so it is best suited to relatively short-distance connections rather than long cable runs.

Compatibility and Package Contents

The SmallRig 5730 is intended for devices with USB-C ports and supports USB Power Delivery 3.1 and USB 2.0 data transfer. Maximum charging power is available only when the connected device, charger and cable work together within the relevant power specifications. The package includes one SmallRig USB-C Spiral Data Cable, one user manual and one warranty card. Confirm the charging requirements and USB-C functionality of the intended equipment before use, particularly when connecting laptops or specialised production devices.
