Dual Right Angle USB-C Male to Male FPC Cable

Dual Right Angle USB-C Male to Male FPC Cable

Goochain manufactures and supplies dual right-angle USB-C male-to-male FPC cables for OEM equipment where two USB-C ports must be connected within limited exit clearance. Each 90-degree plug turns the cable path immediately after the port, while the flat flexible printed circuit follows a defined route between closely spaced modules or mounted device assemblies.

The A-end and B-end directions, port spacing and FPC outline are developed from the equipment drawing. Goochain supports custom connector integration, sample evaluation and OEM production to the approved mechanical and electrical specification. Data rate, charging power and video functions are selected for the assembly and intended equipment.

Product Specifications

Connect Two Ports with Limited Exit Clearance

A straight plug can occupy space needed by a cover, bracket or adjacent board. A 90-degree connector at each end lets the cable turn close to both ports and follow the available installation area. This arrangement suits compact docks, embedded computers, controllers and fixed module assemblies with restricted space around their USB-C connections.

Check the complete connector body and transition into the FPC against the equipment layout. Port-to-port distance alone does not describe the required cable: the port faces, connector exit directions, mounting heights and installation access also determine whether both plugs can seat correctly.

Define the A-End and B-End from One Drawing Reference

Two 90-degree plugs can have different relationships to each other. Goochain can review same-direction, opposite-direction and different-plane layouts to suit the position of the two equipment ports. Identify the A-end and B-end in a common front and side view, including the direction in which the FPC leaves each connector.

Terms such as up, down, left and right depend on the viewing direction. A marked-up drawing helps keep the approved orientation consistent through sampling and production. Specify the FPC outline and routing area so assembly does not depend on twisting the ribbon or forcing a tight fold beside a connector.

Choose the FPC Body for the Available Route

Goochain offers FPC assemblies without a full outer overmold and can review versions with a molded outer body. The choice changes the finished thickness, connector transition and space needed along the route. It should be made alongside the enclosure design, especially where the cable passes near a cover or mounting bracket.

The approved drawing should define the cable outline, length, connector relationship and installation reference points. Prototype evaluation can then check that the ribbon follows its intended path and both connectors can be installed without interference from neighboring parts.

Specify Data, Charging and Video Functions Separately

The dual right-angle arrangement defines the mechanical connection. It does not, by itself, establish a USB data rate, charging power or video capability. These functions must be specified for the selected cable assembly and the compatible host and connected device.

Provide the intended equipment and required functions during the design review. Samples should be evaluated in that connection before the production specification is approved. A change in cable length, construction or connected equipment may require a further review of the electrical requirements.

Custom Manufacturing from Port Layout to Production

As a custom USB-C FPC cable manufacturer and supplier, Goochain reviews the two plug directions, port spacing, FPC geometry and electrical requirements together. Our factory can develop prototype assemblies for installation and functional evaluation before OEM production.

Customization can cover the A-end and B-end orientations, FPC length and outline, connector transition clearance and outer-body construction. The approved drawing records the mechanical arrangement, while the agreed specification defines the required electrical functions and inspection criteria.

The Goochain factory and quality process covers incoming materials, assembly workmanship and final product checks. Project-specific inspection requirements can be agreed during sample review so the production checks match the configuration being supplied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a dual right-angle USB-C cable the same as a U-shaped cable?

No. Dual right-angle means there is a 90-degree USB-C plug at each end. A U-shaped cable uses a 180-degree return geometry around an equipment edge and has different clearance requirements.

Are both connectors USB-C male plugs?

Yes. This is a male-to-male assembly with a 90-degree USB-C plug at both ends. A male-to-female extension is a different product configuration.

Can the two plugs face in opposite directions?

Yes. Goochain can review same-direction, opposite-direction or different-plane layouts. Identify both ends from the same fixed drawing view so the approved orientation is clear during sampling and production.

Does a dual right-angle design determine the data rate or charging power?

No. The angle arrangement addresses mechanical routing. Data rate, charging power and any video function are separate requirements and must be defined for the selected cable assembly and connected equipment.

Can Goochain supply an overmolded version?

Yes. Goochain offers FPC assemblies without a full outer overmold and can review versions with a molded outer body. The construction changes the finished dimensions, bend space and connector transition, so it should be reviewed with the enclosure route.

What should an OEM buyer send for a quotation?

Send front and side views of both USB-C ports, the A-end and B-end directions, port spacing, required FPC route and length, intended host and device, electrical requirements, outer-body preference and expected quantity. Goochain can use these inputs to review fit, sample requirements and the production specification.
