lalasis CY018-2 2m USB-C Cable, 20Gbps, 240W Charging and Braided Design
Product description
Connect a USB-C laptop to a compatible monitor, charge a phone or move files between devices with the lalasis CY018-2. This 2m USB-C to USB-C cable combines charging, data transfer and video output, so one cable can support several everyday tasks at a desk or at home.
Its braided nylon jacket and aluminium alloy housings add practical durability, while the E-Marker chip helps regulate power delivery. For charging, data and display use, the important detail is that the connected devices must support the relevant USB-C feature.
Key points
The CY018-2 supports data transfer at up to 20Gbps under the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard. That makes it suited to moving large files between compatible devices, including USB-C computers and storage. To reach that rate, both connected devices need USB 3.2 or higher support, the cable is also backward compatible with USB 3.1, 3.0 and 2.0 standards.
For charging, it supports PD 3.1 and QC 4.0+ and a maximum of 240W (48V/5A). The E-Marker chip manages power regulation, and the cable is described as compatible with a range of output levels, including 200W, 170W, 140W, 100W, 65W and 18W. Actual charging depends on the connected device and power source.
The cable also supports video output up to 4K at 144Hz or 5K at 60Hz, when used with USB-C devices and displays that support DP Alt Mode. Compared with a cable intended just for charging, this model brings data and compatible display connections into the same setup.
How it fits
At 2m long, the cable gives you room to connect devices across a desk or reach a nearby USB-C display. Its male-to-male USB-C connectors are designed for direct connection between compatible devices. The braided nylon jacket is described as flexible and resistant to tangling, with triple protection against interference, aluminium alloy housings complete the construction. It has undergone a 20,000-cycle bending test.
Best use cases
Use it to connect a compatible MacBook, iPad or other USB-C laptop to a USB-C monitor for supported video output, or to transfer files between USB-C devices. It is also listed as compatible with iPhone 15, 16 and 17 models, Steam Deck, PSVR2, Switch, Surface Go and a range of other USB-C devices. Compatibility depends on the device’s port and supported functions, particularly for high-speed data and video.
The combination of charging and data support is useful when you want one cable for a laptop desk setup and everyday device charging. Choose it for a USB-C setup where the 2m reach, high-power charging support, fast data specification or video capability is relevant, match the intended task to the capabilities of the devices at each end.
What to clarify
Can it charge a laptop at 240W? It supports up to 240W through PD 3.1, at 48V/5A. The laptop and power source must also support the required power delivery for that charging level.
Will it output video to any USB-C monitor? Video output is supported up to 4K at 144Hz or 5K at 60Hz when the connected USB-C device supports DP Alt Mode and the display supports the selected mode.
What is needed for 20Gbps transfers? Both devices must have USB 3.2 or higher compatible ports. The cable also works with USB 3.1, 3.0 and 2.0, subject to the supported connection standard.
Should you buy it?
The lalasis CY018-2 is a practical fit for USB-C users who want a 2m cable for more than basic charging. Its stated 240W charging support, 20Gbps data specification, video capability and braided construction make it particularly useful for a compatible laptop-and-monitor setup, file transfers and charging at the same desk.
