Custom-made USB cables & assembly to specification
MAG GmbH develops and supplies custom USB cables, USB-C cables, charging and data cables, as well as project-specific adapter solutions for professional applications. Whether USB-A, USB-B, Micro-USB, Mini-USB or USB-C: connector type, cable length, colour, shielding, connector shape, labelling and packaging are tailored to suit the device, system and production requirements.
USB cable assemblies for professional applications
When standard cables are not the ideal fit mechanically, electrically, optically or logistically.
Tailored to the device, installation and application
USB version, connector type, data rate, charging requirements, cable length, shielding, sheathing material and installation situation are agreed on a project-by-project basis.
Assembly for series production, OEM and project business
Ideal for recurring requirements, defined part numbers, standardised labelling, project-specific packaging and predictable call-offs.
Important for USB-C, charging power and data transfer
Not every USB-C cable is automatically suitable for every data rate, every charging power rating or every device combination. For USB-C and Power Delivery projects, power supply, data requirements, pin configuration, cable construction, shielding and, where applicable, electronic requirements must be clarified at an early stage.
When making an enquiry, please specify, where possible, the target device, interface, desired function, cable length, planned quantity and any special requirements regarding charging, data, labelling or installation.

Technical specifications: USB version, connectors, data, charging and shielding
The right USB cable assembly is determined by function, installation situation and production requirements.
Connectors & combinations
- USB-A, USB-B, Mini-USB, Micro-USB and USB-C
- USB-A to USB-C, USB-C to USB-C, USB-A to Micro-USB
- Straight or angled connectors
- Plugs, sockets, couplers and extension cables
Function & Performance
- USB 2.0, USB 3.x and USB-C as per project requirements
- Charging, data transfer or combined charging/data transfer
- USB-C with project-specific requirements for power supply and Power Delivery
- Verification of data rate, cable length and device requirements
Construction & Marking
- Shielding for more demanding environments
- Jacket material according to application
- Colour, label, sleeve or barcode
- Customised packaging and part numbering logic
For certified or specially specified USB versions, existing documentation is checked on a project-by-project basis. Certifications are only awarded if they are actually available and verified for the specific version.
Custom USB production based on standard items
An existing stock item can significantly simplify technical classification and coordination.
Possible modifications
- Same cable type in a different length
- Same cable type in a different colour
- customised connector combination
- Angled connectors instead of straight ones
- Panel-mount or flush-mount version
- Additional marking, label or packaging
Suitable starting points in the range
When making your enquiry, please quote the item number of the relevant base product and the desired customisation.
Project example: USB-C cables for device integration
Typical process for a custom USB-C cable in a series production application.
From the interface to production-ready USB assembly
A device manufacturer requires a USB-C cable for a specific installation scenario. The USB version, charging and data functions, connector combination, cable length, shielding, colour, strain relief, packaging and labelling are all coordinated.
Technical aspects
- USB-C to USB-C or USB-A to USB-C
- Straight or angled connectors
- Data rate and charging requirements
- Shielding and sheathing material
Batch specifications
- Quantity and call-off schedule
- Label, sleeve or item number
- Packaging according to project
- Sampling and approval
This is how a custom-made USB cable project works
A clear process reduces queries and improves planning reliability.
