CAKOBLE 5M USB C cable, 20Gbps data
Product description
A CAKOBLE 5M USB C cable is built for people who need one lead that can handle high speed data, faster charging, and video output when their device supports it. With a stated USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance of up to 20Gbps and support for 4K video output up to 60Hz, it can simplify desk setups where you want fewer cables and less swapping between tasks. ⚡
If you often move large files between a laptop and external storage, or you want a longer cable that reaches without strain, this USB C to USB C lead is positioned as a practical all rounder. It also claims up to 100W charging capacity using up to 20V 5A, which helps when you are powering a compatible device from a USB C charger. 📱
Key features
This USB C cable is described as fully compliant with the USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard, with data transfer support stated up to 20Gbps. That makes it well suited to transferring larger files to and from devices like external drives, where speed can reduce waiting time. The longer 5m length is also useful at home or in the office when your charger, laptop dock, or display is not next to the wall.
Charging support is another major focus. The product description states 100W power, using up to 20V and 5A current, enabled by built in chips intended to manage the charging current safely. It also lists support for Qualcomm QC 3.0 and QC 4.0 plus, Huawei SCP and FCP, and Samsung AFC, so it should cover a range of common fast charging protocols used on compatible chargers and devices.
For video, the cable is claimed to support video output up to 4K at 60Hz and 2K at 165Hz. In real use, this can mean connecting a MacBook to an extended display through the USB C port, provided the device supports DP Alt mode. ✨
Safety and reliability are addressed through construction details. The connector is described as nickel plated, the housing is aluminium, and the jacket is nylon braided for durability and reduced tangling. A built in chip is also mentioned as helping with protection and reducing losses during high speed transmission.

What to know before you buy
You should check that your devices support the features you want to use. For video output, the listing specifically notes that it requires a USB C port with DP Alt mode support, so not every USB C socket will automatically work for display output. If your laptop or phone supports it, the cable is positioned as a way to send both video and audio output over the same USB C lead.
For charging, performance depends on pairing the cable with a compatible USB C charger and a device that can accept the stated charging profile. The description lists multiple fast charging standards, but it is still worth making sure your charger and device are compatible with those protocols for the best results. 💡
The 5m length is also a decision point. A longer cable is convenient for setups like a laptop on a desk with the charger across the room, but it is best used when you actually need the reach, since shorter leads can sometimes be more convenient for tight cable management. If you keep your cable routed around a desk or monitor arm, the braided nylon jacket and tangle resistant design can help reduce day to day annoyance.
From a daily use perspective, this cable is a strong option when you want one lead to cover charging, data transfers, and occasional display output. When any single requirement is the priority, such as high speed file transfers or fast charging, the stated USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 20Gbps specification, along with the 100W charging claim, are the key reasons people choose it.
The essentials
A good match if you want a single USB C to USB C cable that can support high speed data transfers of up to 20Gbps and charging up to 100W, including profiles like QC and Huawei and Samsung fast charging standards. It’s also worth considering if you need a 5m length for comfortable desk placement and you may occasionally use a compatible MacBook or laptop for 4K video output via DP Alt mode.
It might not be a great match if your device does not support USB C DP Alt mode for video output or if you only need a simple, short charging lead. It is also less suitable if you are expecting guaranteed performance without checking compatibility, because both fast charging and display output depend on the device and charger you pair it with.
