Where can I buy a USB / type-C cable with screws on D435？

[ychen99]

I fix D435 on the mobile robot, but the type-C interface of D435 is easy to loosen and cause the loss of the signal. Where can I buy a USB / type-C cable with screws on D435？

[MartyG]

The search term to use on stores such as Amazon is 'usb type c screw locking'.

[ychen99]

In fact, I have bought one on Amazon, but I can't plug it up because this cable has a thick interface, and the size of the screws is different. I didn't find a description of the size of the D435 interface.

[ychen99]

What I mean is that the rubber at the type-c interface is too thick to cause the interface to plug in.

[MartyG]

Just to be clear ... do you mean the thin end of the cable that plugs into the side of the camera, where there are two holes either side of the USB port underneath an overhang on the camera casing?

the cable come from here ：

USB cables with micro ends can be a nightmare to shop for online due to the range of subtle differences in the micro connector sizes.

A representative from a USB cable supplier company called Newnex posted this on the forum last month:

"USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 are basically the same thing. In another word, D400 series is using USB 3.0 connectivity with a Type-C interface. The USB 3.0 (or 3.1 Gen 1) Type-A to Type-C cable is basically the same thing to USB 3.0 A to micro B cable that you use for 200 series RealSense Camera".

Based on Newnex's advice, the cable on their website that looks like the best comparison to the 400 Series cable is the 'A Male Straight to C Male Dual Thumbscrew Locking'.

I ran into the same issue with my d435 camera. I ended up finding this company based in San Diego and they have a thin profile type C connector and their pricing was more than fair.

www.ocp.com was where I found it. The customer service was very helpful

[MartyG]

Thanks for the tip!

Here is the link for the cable I was able to verify that works!

Thanks for the recommendation, it's very appreciated!

[KChow2]

I just realized there aren't any photos of the connector with the camera. Hope this helps!

USB Screw Locking port that RealSense camera use complied to USB Type-C Locking Specification: Dual Screw Locking Standard, which implements M2 thread at center spacing 15mm.

Short range cable are usually thin and flexible, and cable that goes long distance are usually more thick and bulky.
