CLEEFUN 5M USB-C to USB-C Cable: 60W PD, 5 Metres, Nylon Braided
Product description
What it is
The CLEEFUN 5M USB-C to USB-C cable is a long, braided charging lead designed to connect USB-C devices to a charger or computer. Built with a nylon braid and an aluminium shell, it aims to offer durability and a tangle-free experience over extended lengths. On paper, it supports USB Power Delivery up to 60W with compatible chargers and devices, and data transfer up to 480 Mbps.
Who it’s for
This cable targets users who need extra reach—think charging from a desk, in a car, or while relaxing on a sofa or bed. If you regularly use high-wattage chargers or want a single cable for a variety of USB-C devices, it could fit into that everyday carry or home-office setup. It’s commonly routed as a long replacement for shorter USB-C leads, rather than a dedicated, high-speed data cable for professional workflows.
What stands out
On the positive side, the 5-metre length is the main differentiator. The nylon braid, reinforced connectors, and internal copper wires are chosen to promote durability and longer lifespan, with some built-in protections for over-current, overheating, and short circuits. For casual daily use, this can translate to a practical, reliable charging option that reduces the need to cradle devices near a wall socket.
The limitations to consider
It’s important to note that this cable does not support video output, and its data transfer is limited to USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps). Real charging speed depends on the wall charger and the connected device, the cable supports up to 60W Power Delivery, but you’ll only see that performance when paired with a compatible charger and device.
Compatibility and caveats
The listing covers a broad range of USB-C devices—from Samsung Galaxy flagships to Pixel phones and some Chromebooks. However, it’s not guaranteed to be universal for every USB-C device, particularly where video output or very specific PD profiles are required. If you primarily need fast charging with minimal fuss and a long reach, it could work well, if you rely on live video output or top-tier data transfer, you may want to look elsewhere.
Practical use cases
Imagine charging a phone from a bedside table or a laptop in a coffee shop while you work from a sofa. The extra length can reduce the need to bend cords or move devices around to reach a charger. It’s also handy for in-car use where the charger is tucked away but the phone sits on the front seat.
Before you buy: what to check
- Ensure your charger supports the 60W Power Delivery profile and that your device is PD-capable to approach the maximum charging potential.
- Remember this is USB-C to USB-C, compatibility with non-C ports will require adapters and may nullify performance expectations.
- The cable emphasizes durability through nylon braiding and robust connectors, but long cables can be prone to more wear over time if bent sharply or pulled.
How it compares implicitly with alternatives
If you prioritise speed and data transfer, shorter USB-C cables or cables marketed specifically for high-speed data might be a better fit. For travel or home-use scenarios where distance matters and you’re not pushing top-tier data throughput, this 5 m option offers a sensible balance of reach and durability without the fuss of bulky adaptors.

FAQ
- Is video output supported? No, this cable does not support video output.
- What is the data rate? Data transfer is USB 2.0 up to 480 Mbps.
- Will it charge my device at 60W? It supports up to 60W PD with a compatible charger, actual speed depends on the charger and device.
Decision time
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you need extra length for charging from a distance and value a durable, braided build. It suits casual, everyday charging scenarios and reduces cable management hassles in larger spaces. It may not be the best choice if you require video output or the fastest data transfer for work.
