Garmin USB‑C Charging/Data Cable 0.5 m
The Garmin USB‑C Charging/Data Cable 0.5 m is a compact yet powerful accessory designed to keep your Garmin devices powered and connected. With its short length, it offers the perfect balance between portability and convenience for everyday use.
Key Features
- Dual‑functionality: Seamlessly charges and transfers data to a wide range of Garmin devices, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and navigation units.
- USB‑C Compatibility: Equipped with a standard USB‑C connector on one end for modern charging ports, and a proprietary Garmin connector on the other, ensuring a secure fit.
- Compact Length: At 0.5 m (50 cm), it is short enough to avoid tangles yet long enough to reach most charging points without strain.
- Durable Construction: Reinforced with high‑quality braided nylon, the cable resists fraying and withstands daily wear and tear.
- Fast Data Transfer: Supports USB 2.0 speeds, allowing quick synchronization of activity data, firmware updates, and map downloads.
Compatibility Overview
The cable is engineered to work flawlessly with Garmin’s extensive lineup of devices that feature a USB‑C port or require a proprietary Garmin connector for charging. Common compatible models include:
- Garmin Forerunner series (e.g., 245, 645, 935)
- Garmin Fenix series (e.g., 6, 7, 8)
- Garmin Venu and Venu Sq
- Garmin Edge cycling computers
- Garmin GPS navigation units that accept USB‑C charging.
Because the cable uses a standard USB‑C interface on one end, it can also be used with any device that accepts USB‑C power delivery, such as smartphones and tablets, for general charging purposes.
