Ubluker UB-UTC-1.5M USB-C Cable, 1.5 m Nylon Braided with E-Marker

At 1.5 m, the Ubluker USB-C to USB-C cable gives you room to connect a compatible device to its charger while keeping it within reach on a desk or bedside table.

Its nylon-braided outer covering is designed for regular handling, and the reversible USB-C connectors make plugging in straightforward.

An E-Marker chip identifies the voltage and current required by the connected device, supporting fast charging with compatible equipment. Data transfer is rated at 480 Mbps.

Key features

This cable is listed for use with a range of USB-C devices, including iPhone 15, 16 and 17 series phones, Samsung Galaxy S and Z Fold models, iPads and MacBooks. That makes it a practical choice if you charge different devices around the home or want one cable for a compatible phone and laptop. Check that both the device and charger use USB-C connections and support the charging mode you intend to use.

The E-Marker chip automatically identifies the connected device’s voltage and current requirements. The cable also includes overcurrent, overheating and short-circuit protection. Its nylon braid is intended to help it withstand everyday bending and handling, with the manufacturer describing it as tested for at least 20,000 90-degree bends. Buyers praise its charging speed and sturdy feel, comments on compatibility are mixed, so matching the cable to your particular device is worthwhile.

Everyday use

Use it to charge a compatible phone or tablet at a desk, or to connect a USB-C laptop to a suitable charger. The 1.5 m length offers practical flexibility for everyday setups, while the braided finish helps keep the cable manageable between uses. It also supports data syncing, so it can serve for both charging and transferring files between compatible USB-C devices. Data transfer is rated at 480 Mbps.

Practical tips

For charging, pair the cable with a USB-C charger that supports your device’s charging requirements. The cable’s maximum charging capability is not the same as the charging speed every device will use: the device and adapter also determine the available rate. For syncing, connect the cable between compatible USB-C devices and allow for the stated 480 Mbps transfer rate. The connectors are reversible, so either orientation can be used when plugging them in.
