Locking USB-C Cable Specifications and Selection
Locking USB-C Cable with Single and Dual Screw Options
When a USB-C connection must stay in place during normal equipment handling, matching screw-retention hardware can be more useful than relying on connector friction alone. The BC-DAC027 locking USB-C cable series offers 26 configurations with straight and angled housings, locking on one side or both, and single- or dual-screw arrangements.
Start with the equipment socket and its mounting features. Then select the cable exit and length around the installed layout. A screw-lock cable requires compatible fixing points; it does not make every USB-C port a locking port.
BC-DAC027 Specifications
| Item | Series information | Ordering consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Connectors | USB-C male to USB-C male | Match the source and device functions as well as the physical connector |
| Retention | Single or dual screws, one or both ends | Verify thread, screw position, engagement, and equipment fixing points |
| Housing arrangements | Straight, side-angle, up-angle and U-shaped combinations | Use the product photo and approved drawing to define direction |
| Listed lengths | 0.3m, 1m and 2m | Review other lengths against the required operating mode |
| USB data | Up to 10Gbps, USB 3.2 Gen 2 | Not 20Gbps Gen 2×2; actual operation depends on both endpoints |
| Current rating | 5A | Voltage, power profile, and cable identification must suit the intended charging system |
| Video | Up to 4K at 60Hz with compatible equipment | Requires a video-capable source and suitable display or adapter |
| Molding and jacket | Black PVC | Special environmental needs require a separate specification |
| Connector shell | Gold plated | No plating-thickness or certification claim is implied |
A 5A rating is a current limit, not a wattage specification. It does not by itself establish 100W, 240W, an EPR voltage rating, or the power a connected device will receive. Confirm the required voltage, charging profile, and assembly specification before ordering for a particular power level.
Choose the Locking Pattern Around the Equipment
For a single-screw socket, select a cable with the corresponding screw position. For a dual-screw socket, verify the spacing and clearance at both fixings. Screw count is not a substitute for a matched drawing, and more screws do not establish a tested vibration or pull-force rating.
Check the screw thread, engagement length, housing envelope, and installation access. The screws should retain an already seated connector, not pull an incompatible housing into position. Follow the agreed hardware instructions; do not apply a generic torque value across different equipment ports.
One Locking End or Two?
A cable with one locking end suits a device with fixing points while its host uses a conventional USB-C port. The first four product groups below offer straight, side-angle, up-angle, or U-shaped non-locking ends, plus several locking-end options.
The final group locks at both ends. Use it when both pieces of equipment provide suitable retention hardware and when the installation team can access both sets of screws. For a female-ended route, compare our locking USB-C extension cables rather than adding an unreviewed adapter to a male-to-male assembly.
Route Angled Connectors Without Loading the Port
An angled housing can guide the cable away from a cover or neighboring socket. It cannot eliminate the need for cable support. Allow a relaxed bend after the molding, and secure the route so the equipment connector does not carry weight, movement, or an accidental pull.
Define up, down, left, and right using a photograph of the installed equipment. For U-shaped ends, include the device-edge thickness and any protective cover. When both ends are angled, relative orientation matters as much as each plug’s shape.
Separate Mechanical Retention from Data and Video Capability
The locking hardware holds the connector in place; it doesn’t upgrade the USB controller or add display output. The listed 10Gbps capability is a USB signaling rate, not a promise of sustained file-copy throughput. Storage, host controllers, and the connected device can limit actual transfer speed.
For 4K at 60Hz, confirm video support at the source and receiving equipment. A data-only USB-C port remains data-only. Do not assume you can use maximum USB data, video, and charging figures simultaneously without reviewing the required operating mode.
If retention hardware is unnecessary, a straight or angled USB Type-C cable may provide a simpler service arrangement.
Specify the Assembly for an OEM Order
Provide the equipment port drawing, connector arrangement, cable length, quantity, and required data, power, or display function. Include identification, packing, and any environmental qualification requirements. We can review the available construction and sample scope against your application.
Approve the sample with the actual equipment and installed cable route. Record fit, screw engagement, functional checks, and the drawing revision. For repeat orders, use the model code together with its complete connector description; a short suffix alone should not be the only purchasing reference.
Browse the configurations below or send photos of your port through the inquiry form. For a different interface arrangement, explore the USB-C cable range.
Straight Non-Locking End to Locking USB-C
Choose this group when one device uses a conventional straight USB-C connection and the other provides screw-retention hardware. Match the locking-end shape and screw pattern to the equipment drawing.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SSS
Use a straight, non-locking USB-C end with a single-screw locking connection at the equipment. This arrangement suits an open cable route where only one port has retention hardware. Check the screw position and housing clearance against the device drawing before selecting the length.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SSD
Connect a conventional straight USB-C port to equipment with a dual-screw locking interface. Leave space for both fasteners and for the cable bend behind the housing. Match the mounting pattern to the device; two screws alone do not establish vibration qualification.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SLS
A straight non-locking end pairs with an angled single-screw locking plug for routing beside the equipment port. Confirm the side-exit direction in the installed view. This combination can avoid an extra angle adapter while retaining the fixing arrangement required by the receiving equipment.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SDD
Pair a straight, conventional USB-C connection with a dual-screw locking end at an upward angle. Use the bend plane to route around a cover or bracket, then verify access to both screws. Check the installed orientation and strain-relief space before agreeing on the assembly length.
Side-Angle Non-Locking End to Locking USB-C
- Use a side-angle non-locking USB-C plug where the host-side cable route needs to turn beside the port. Choose the other end based on the equipment’s screw pattern and the required exit direction.
P/N: BC-DAC027-LSS
Choose this arrangement for a side-angle conventional USB-C port connection and a straight single-screw locking end. Check both equipment views to keep the cable route clear. Quote the full right-angle-to-straight description with the listed code to distinguish it from other configurations.
P/N: BC-DAC027-LSD
A side-angle non-locking plug connects to a straight dual-screw locking end. This combination suits different clearance needs on both devices. Confirm the host-side exit and the equipment-side fixing pattern, and leave enough room around both retention screws for installation tools.
BC-DAC027-LSS
Route both ends sideways, with a conventional angled USB-C plug at one end and a single-screw angled locking plug at the other. Compare their relative directions in the installed layout. Include the full right-angle-to-right-angle description and drawing when requesting this listed configuration.
P/N: BC-DAC027-LDD
Combines a side-angle, non-locking USB-C plug with an up-angle, dual-screw locking end. Different bend planes suit equipment mounted in different orientations. Review both port photographs, screw access, and the path between them rather than choosing by the angle name alone.
Up-Angle Non-Locking End to Locking USB-C
- Choose an up-angle conventional USB-C end when that bend plane suits the host or device clearance. Match the locking end independently, using the screw pattern and the installed port direction.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DSS
Use an angled, non-locking plug on one device and a straight, single-screw locking plug on the other. This arrangement separates the routing constraint from the retention requirement. Check the angled housing against the cover and confirm the locking screw position on the equipment.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DSD
An up-angle conventional USB-C plug pairs with a straight dual-screw locking connector. Select it when one port needs a turned cable exit and the other has a matching two-screw connector. Allow tool clearance and support the route so the connector does not carry cable weight.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DLS
Pair an up-angle non-locking USB-C end with a side-angle single-screw locking end. The two bend planes help route between differently oriented ports. Provide installed-view photos and mark the cable exits so the approved sample reflects the real equipment arrangement at both ends.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DDD
Choose up-angle housings at both ends when the required route follows the same bend plane, with dual-screw retention at the locking end. Confirm their relative orientation after mounting the equipment. Similar-looking bends can point differently if you rotate a device during installation.
U-Shaped Non-Locking End to Locking USB-C
- A U-shaped non-locking end returns the cable alongside the device. Check its gap against the device edge or case, then select the locking-end shape and screw arrangement at the other port.
P/N: BC-DAC027-USS
Return the cable beside a device using the U-shaped non-locking end, with a straight single-screw locking connector at the other end. Confirm the return gap, protective-case clearance, and required length. This layout needs a compatible fixing point only at the designated locking port.
P/N: BC-DAC027-USD
Combine a U-shaped conventional USB-C plug with a straight dual-screw locking connector. Use the return shape where device-edge clearance allows, and verify that the other port has the matching two-screw pattern. Plan support along the route rather than relying solely on the housing.
P/N: BC-DAC027-ULS
A U-shaped, non-locking plug pairs with a side-angle single-screw return end to provide a return route at one device and a lateral exit at the other. Check both housing envelopes against the installed equipment. Send marked photographs when the direction is difficult to describe reliably.
P/N: BC-DAC027-UDD
Use the U-shaped, non-locking end to route the cable back beside one device, and the up-angle dual-screw end to secure the other connection. Review device-edge clearance, screw access, and the relative bend planes together before approving the sample for an equipment build.
Locking USB-C at Both Ends
- Select a two-ended locking assembly only when both devices provide matching fixing points. Review each screw pattern and cable-exit direction separately, then check the complete route and access for installation.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SDSD
Straight locking USB-C connectors with dual screws at both ends suit equipment with matching two-screw interfaces. Check the fixing geometry and tool access on each device. Choose a cable length that fits the supported route and service allowance, rather than stretching the lead between sockets.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SSSS
Use straight single-screw locking plugs at both ends when each device provides the corresponding fixing position. This is a two-ended retention arrangement, not a universal fit for ordinary USB-C sockets. Confirm both port drawings and the space for seating the plugs before tightening the screws.
P/N: BC-DAC027-LSLS
Side-angle single-screw locking connectors at both ends can route beside two equipment ports. Compare the installed directions and relative orientation before ordering. Keep the cable supported between devices, and verify that neither angled housing obstructs the neighboring socket or the access needed to tighten its screw.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DDDD
Up-angle locking connectors with dual screws at both ends provide a turned cable route between matching equipment interfaces. Confirm that both bend planes point into the planned route after installation. Include cover clearance and access to all fasteners when reviewing the drawing and sample.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SDSS
Use this straight-ended arrangement to connect a single-screw locking interface to a dual-screw locking interface. It accommodates different fixing patterns on the two devices without assuming they are interchangeable. Record which equipment receives each end and retain that orientation in the assembly and packing instructions.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DDSS
A straight single-screw locking end pairs with an up-angle dual-screw locking end. Select it based on the fixing pattern and exit direction at each device. Mark the equipment ends in the drawing so assembly staff do not reverse a mechanically asymmetric cable during installation.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SSLS
Pair a straight single-screw locking connector with a side-angle single-screw locking connector. This combination keeps the same screw count while changing the cable exit at one device. Check each fixing position independently; the matching appearance does not replace a port drawing or an installed fit check.
P/N: BC-DAC027-SDLS
Use a straight dual-screw locking end and a side-angle single-screw locking end, with different retention hardware on each device. Review the side exit and screw access as one layout. Identify each end in the order specified to simplify installation and subsequent replacement.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DDLS
An up-angle dual-screw locking end connects to a side-angle single-screw locking end for equipment ports with different orientations. Verify both bend planes and mounting patterns before selecting the length. A marked installation drawing is particularly useful for this mixed-angle, mixed-hardware configuration.
P/N: BC-DAC027-DDSD
Combine an up-angle dual-screw locking plug with a straight dual-screw locking plug. Both devices require compatible two-screw fixing patterns, with only one end changing the cable direction. Check tool access, cover clearance, and the supported route during sample installation before placing the repeat order.
Match the Screw Pattern and Cable Exit
Single- and dual-screw housings serve different mating arrangements. Compare the screw positions, surrounding clearance, and cable-exit direction with the equipment before selecting a model. A connector photograph helps narrow the choice; the approved drawing establishes the fit.
Send photos of both installed ports with the preferred route marked. We can review which end needs locking and which housing arrangement suits the available space.
A standard socket usually has no matching fixing points. Even if the USB-C plug can mate, the locking housing or screws may obstruct the equipment. Check clearance first, and don’t expect screw retention without compatible hardware. A non-locking cable may be the better choice.
No. The screw mechanism provides mechanical retention. It does not add an Ethernet adapter, a Thunderbolt controller, or a different USB mode. Specify the actual host, peripheral, and protocol; sharing a USB-C connector shape is not sufficient to establish compatibility.
Send the required length, measurement reference, tolerance, and operating mode for review. A mechanically feasible length does not automatically preserve high-speed data or display capability. Agree on the construction and sample checks before treating a custom length as an approved production item.
No. Power also depends on voltage, the cable specification, and the profiles negotiated by the source and device. The confirmed series rating is 5A; do not infer 100W or 240W from that figure alone. Provide the required voltage and power profile for a configuration-specific review.
Use the value specified for the approved connector and mating equipment. Thread size, engagement, and housing material matter, so a single generic torque doesn’t apply to every configuration. Seat the plug correctly before securing it, and stop if the screw does not engage freely.
Include the model, both connector descriptions, screw count at each end, and the approved drawing or marked photo. Define the direction with the equipment installed. Where a listing uses the same short code for different arrangements, confirm the full configuration and final ordering reference before placing the order.
Do not infer waterproofing, chemical resistance, or vibration qualification from the screw lock or PVC jacket. Send the environmental requirements and relevant equipment qualification plan. A suitable construction and evidence must be agreed upon for that use; the standard listing is not a certification claim.
After reviewing the connector arrangement, length, quantity, and any custom components or testing. Stock availability, tooling, and sample approval can affect timing. Request a schedule with the quotation rather than relying on a fixed lead time for every configuration.
Send the identification text or artwork, cable positions, quantity per kit, and preferred packing sequence. You can review these requests with the selected assembly. Clear end identification is especially useful where the two devices use different screw patterns or connector directions.
Check plug seating, screw engagement, cable routing, and access with the equipment fully assembled. Then verify device detection and the required data, charging, or display mode. Include application-specific environmental or movement tests only against an agreed specification and acceptance criteria.
Follow the equipment shutdown procedure where required. Fully release the retention screws before removing the plug; hold the connector housing, not the cable, and inspect the fixing points before reconnecting. Do not use the screws to force a misaligned connector into place.
Send photos or drawings of both ports, the required route and length, quantity, and the data, power, or display function. Include any environmental, labeling, or packaging requirements. We can then review a specific configuration instead of assuming that every screw-lock USB-C cable fits the same equipment.

Buying a Locking USB-C Cable as Part of the Equipment Assembly
A cable can look correct in a catalog and still be awkward to install. For screw-lock USB-C, the useful purchasing unit is the complete arrangement: both ports, their fixing features, the cable route, and the required operating mode.
Start with the two-port drawings
Record which end needs retention and whether each interface uses one or two fixing points. Check housing clearance, not only the USB-C opening. A screw in the wrong location or with unsuitable engagement will not provide a sound installation just because the plug shape matches.
Use photographs to settle direction
Show the equipment in its installed position and mark the desired cable exit. This helps distinguish a side-angle from an up-angle housing and makes a U-shaped return easier to assess. For mixed-end cables, identify the host and device ends in the drawing and packing instructions.
Keep retention and performance checks separate
A mechanically secure connection can still be unsuitable for the intended USB mode. Conversely, a cable that works on an open bench may be difficult to secure once covers are fitted. Include both fit and function in the sample review, and use the actual host, peripheral, and power source.
Make approved details easy to reproduce
Retain the full connector description, model code, length reference, drawing revision, and acceptance criteria with the sample. Review changes to the equipment port or power requirement before reordering. This is particularly helpful when several similar locking cables enter the same build, and the installer needs to identify them without guessing.
Share those details with your quantity requirement. We can focus the quotation on a cable arrangement that fits your installation and can be clearly specified for repeat orders.
