INIU DI-D5CC USB-C to USB-C Cable, 2m, 100W with LED Indicator

Some charging setups need a lead that stays close to the socket, others benefit from extra reach across a desk or beside a bed. The INIU DI-D5CC is a 2m USB-C to USB-C cable with charging up to 100W, making it useful for compatible phones, tablets and laptops when the power source is not right beside the device. Its braided outer layer and built-in LED indicator add practical touches for everyday use.

It also supports data transfer at 480 Mbps, so one cable can handle charging and moving files between compatible USB-C devices.

Strengths

The 2m length gives more freedom to use a device while it is connected, whether a phone is charging on a bedside table or a laptop is plugged in at a desk. Compared with a shorter lead designed for close-by charging, this cable offers more reach for setups where the socket and device are further apart.

Charging is rated up to 100W with PD 3.0/2.0 support. The cable’s E-Mark chip helps identify the connected device’s power requirements, while the LED indicator makes it easier to spot the cable in a dim room. A braided nylon outer layer gives the lead a more robust finish for regular handling, and the included cable strap helps keep it together when stored or carried.

The cable can also transfer data at 480 Mbps, making it handy for everyday file transfers as well as charging. It is a USB 2.0 cable, so it does not support video output or Thunderbolt connections.

Key takeaways

This is a USB-C male-to-male cable in black, measuring 2m and supporting charging up to 100W. It is intended for USB-C devices, including compatible mobile phones, tablets, laptops and gaming devices. The connected device must support fast charging, and a compatible PD 3.0 or PD 2.0 charger is needed to use the cable’s fast-charging capability. The charging rate depends on the device and charger, so the 100W rating is a maximum rather than a guaranteed rate for every setup.

Buyer feedback often highlights the cable’s reach, sturdy feel, charging performance and handy indicator light. Reports on reliability are mixed, so individual experiences vary.

Usage tips

For fast charging, connect the cable to a suitable PD 3.0 or PD 2.0 charger and a device that supports fast charging. For example, it can connect a compatible laptop to its USB-C charger while leaving enough lead to work comfortably at a desk. It can also link USB-C devices for data transfer, choose another connection type if you need video output or Thunderbolt support.

When it makes sense

Choose the INIU DI-D5CC when you want one longer USB-C lead for charging and everyday data transfer, rather than a short cable that only comfortably reaches a nearby socket. The 2m length suits desk and bedside arrangements, while the 100W charging rating makes it relevant for compatible laptops as well as smaller devices. Its LED indicator and braided finish are useful extras for a cable that is handled and moved as part of a daily setup.
