High-Speed Data and Charging

This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. In practice, this means fast file transfers between compatible SSDs and laptops. Because it also supports USB Power Delivery 2.0, it can charge power-hungry devices. For example, it can charge a USB-C laptop while you work. However, confirm your laptop supports USB-C PD charging.

Reversible USB-C Convenience

The USB-C connector is symmetrical and reversible. So, you can plug it in either way up without checking orientation. This reduces wear on the port over time. Also, the compact Type-C design is smaller than older USB-A or Micro-B connectors. Therefore, it suits modern ultrabooks and tablets well.

Reliable 100W Power Delivery

The cable supports up to 20 V / 5 A for 100 W power delivery. This allows charging of larger devices, not just phones. For example, compatible laptops and high-power tablets can be charged safely. However, always confirm your device’s maximum input rating matches this cable’s capability.

Durable Straight Connectors

Both connectors have a straight form factor. This design is ideal for tight desk setups or rear port access. Because the connectors are male-to-male, they suit standard USB-C ports. Also, the 1 m length balances reach without excess cable clutter.
