SC22 Short USB-C to USB-C Cable 1ft (30cm)

RODE SC22 USB-C to USB-C Cable — The Clean Connection for Travel Audio Rigs

The gist: A compact 30cm (11.8") USB-C to USB-C cable designed to connect RODE microphones to smartphones and tablets — short enough to keep a travel rig tidy without dangling cable management.

• Short 30cm design: Eliminates the excess cable typical of general USB-C cables when connecting a mic to a phone or compact recorder — keeps a travel content rig clean and portable.
• Full RODE ecosystem compatibility: Works with all RODE products featuring a USB-C connector, including the AI-Micro wireless receiver and VideoMicro II, which are travel-optimized audio devices.
• USB-C to USB-C: Direct digital connection between RODE devices and USB-C smartphones (including modern Android and USB-C iPhones) for high-quality digital audio without a headphone adapter.
• Included with AI-Micro: Ships as the standard cable in the RODE AI-Micro kit — confirming its design intent as a purpose-built rig cable rather than a generic accessory.

RODE's official cable guide identifies the SC22 as a 300mm USB-C to USB-C cable included with the AI-Micro, suitable for all RODE products with a USB-C output connection.

Best for: Travel vloggers and smartphone filmmakers connecting RODE USB-C microphones to their phone or tablet for on-location recording. Skip it if: You need a longer cable for microphone-to-camera distances beyond about a foot, or if you record to a laptop that's more than 30cm away from the mic position.
