sweguard RM sweguard USB-C Cable, 3 m, 90° Right-Angle, Braided Nylon, 2-Pack

At 3 m, this USB-C cable gives you room to keep a phone or tablet in hand while it charges. The right-angle connector is designed to make using a device more comfortable while plugged in. The pack contains two cables, so you can set one up at home and another at work.

The essentials

Each cable has a 90-degree USB-C connector and a double-braided nylon covering. The angled shape is handy when a straight plug would get in the way as you play a game, watch a video or read on your device. Its 3 m length also gives you flexibility when the nearest USB power source is not right beside you.

For charging, the cable supports up to 3.1A, it also supports data transfer up to 480Mbps. That makes it useful for everyday charging and syncing, with performance depending on the connected device and power source. The product is described as a USB-to-USB-C cable, for connecting a USB power source to a compatible USB-C device. Examples listed include compatible phones and tablets from Apple, Samsung, Google, Xiaomi and other brands. Check that your device uses USB-C before choosing a cable, the listed device examples include different models and product families.

Compared with a standard straight-connector cable, the 90-degree design keeps the plug closer to the device instead of projecting straight out. That can make the cable easier to manage while holding a phone in landscape orientation. The two-pack is useful if you want a cable in two regular charging spots, rather than moving one between rooms.

Best use cases

Use it at a desk, bedside or on the sofa when you want extra reach while charging a USB-C phone or tablet. The angled connector is particularly suited to charging during activities such as gaming, video viewing or reading, where a straight plug can sit in the way of your grip. For example, you can connect a compatible phone to a USB power source and continue using it without the cable projecting directly from the bottom of the device.

Having two cables also makes it straightforward to keep one where you usually charge at home and another at work. If you need a cable mainly for charging, the supported 3.1A rate is a useful specification to compare with your device and power source. For moving files, the stated transfer rate is up to 480Mbps.

Practical tips

Match the USB-C end to your device and connect the USB end to a compatible power source or computer, depending on whether you are charging or transferring data. Charging speed can vary with the device and power source, so the cable’s supported rate is not a guarantee that every setup will charge at the same speed. Keep the two cables in the places you use most, and choose the angled connector when you want the cable to sit closer to the device during use.

Buyer feedback is positive about the cable’s build and everyday functionality. Opinions on charging speed are more mixed, with some buyers pleased and others describing slower results, views on value also differ. The cable’s practical appeal lies in its 3 m reach, right-angle design and two-cable format, rather than an assumption that charging results will be identical across devices.

Is it worth it?

Worth considering if you want a longer USB-C cable that is easier to use while holding a device, and would make use of a second cable in another location. The 90-degree connector gives it a clear purpose beyond a conventional straight cable, while the stated charging and data-transfer support covers common everyday tasks. For charging at a desk, beside the bed or during phone use, the combination of extra reach and an angled plug is the main reason to choose this two-pack.
