Fasgear USB C Cable (USB 3.1 Gen 2) – 100W USB-C PD, 10Gbps and 4K@60Hz (3ft, black)
Product description
Quick overview
This Fasgear USB-C to USB-C cable is aimed at people who want one lead that can do more than basic charging. On paper, it combines USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer up to 10Gbps with USB-C Power Delivery up to 100W, plus a video mode for 4K at 60Hz. That mix is useful if you’re charging a laptop and also moving files or pushing video to a USB-C monitor.
It’s a fairly specific type of cable: it’s not just about “works with USB-C”. It’s about matching the capability of the devices on both ends. If either side is capped (for charging or video), you’ll naturally get a lower result.
Key takeaways
The headline features are straightforward: up to 10Gbps data transfer, up to 100W power delivery (with an E-marker chip mentioned), and 4K@60Hz video output. It also notes support for Quick Charge QC 3.0 and PD fast charging when paired with a PD charger.
A small but important limitation is that actual performance depends on the phone/laptop and display capabilities. For example, the cable’s 4K@60Hz output requires both the laptop and monitor to support 4K resolution, and charging power will depend on what your device can draw.
There’s also a practical value angle here: for desk setups, one USB-C lead that handles power + data + video can reduce cable clutter—though the description also cautions that power transfer watts depend on the laptop, so results can vary.
What you’ll notice day to day
If you use USB-C for work and home (laptop to monitor, charging at the desk, occasional file moves), this cable is designed to cover those scenarios without swapping leads. A concrete example: imagine plugging your USB-C laptop into a compatible USB-C display while charging and transferring a large folder. With the stated 10Gbps capability, the cable is meant for faster copy times than older USB-C/USB 2.0 class cables, though the entry is careful to note that real speeds depend on the file type and size.
For media habits, the 4K@60Hz support is intended for smoother playback on a compatible monitor—streaming videos or watching TV on a larger screen. Again, the key condition is that both devices need to support the relevant resolution.
Tech specs
- Type: USB-C to USB-C cable
- Data transfer: up to 10Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 2)
- Power delivery: up to 100W (mentions E-marker chip, up to 20V/5A max)

Compatibility & requirements
The listing provides a long compatibility statement, naming many USB-C devices and models, including iPhone 15 series, iPad Pro (11-inch), iPad Pro (12.9-inch), MacBook Pro (13-inch/15-inch) and MacBook Air models, along with various Samsung Galaxy models and several other USB-C laptops and devices.
That said, it also includes a recurring “check first” theme. It specifically asks you to confirm your mobile supports the PD fast charge protocol, and it cautions that 4K requires support on both the laptop and monitor. If you’re not sure whether your device can use the cable as intended, the sensible approach is to verify your device’s USB-C PD and video support before expecting the top-end figures.
Pros
- Strong “all-in-one” intent: charging + high-speed data + video output in one USB-C cable
- Up to 10Gbps data transfer is aimed at speeding up large file moves
- Up to 100W power delivery (with E-marker chip mentioned) suits higher-power USB-C charging use cases
- 4K@60Hz video output is useful for compatible USB-C monitor setups
- Includes an 18-month warranty per the listing
When it may not suit you
This cable is not a great pick if you only need a basic charging lead and you don’t care about data transfer or video. In that situation, a simpler cable can do the job without paying for extra capability you won’t use.
It can also be disappointing if you’re expecting the full 4K@60Hz or max charging wattage while using equipment that’s capped or doesn’t support the relevant protocols. The listing is clear that power transfer and video performance depend heavily on the laptop, charger, and monitor.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want a single USB-C cable for a desk setup—charging a compatible laptop while also handling faster data transfers and video output to a USB-C display, and you don’t want to juggle multiple leads.
You may want to skip it if your devices don’t support PD fast charging, or if you’re aiming for 4K@60Hz but your laptop and monitor only support lower resolutions/refresh rates. It’s also not the most sensible choice if you’re buying purely for casual charging.
If you’re buying for travel, home and office use as described, this cable’s feature set lines up well—but make sure you check your phone’s PD support and both sides’ 4K capability before relying on the headline numbers.
Mini FAQ
Does this cable charge at full 100W?
The listing states power delivery up to 100W with max 20V/5A, but it also notes that power transfer watts depend on the laptop/device. So you’ll only see the top-end charging if your device can request it.
Will it fast charge iPhones and other phones?
It claims PD rapid charging with a PD charger and specifically asks you to confirm your mobile supports the PD fast charge protocol. For some phones, you may still get charging but not necessarily “fast” on the exact terms you expect.
Can it do 4K at 60Hz to any monitor?
Not automatically. The listing notes that both the laptop and monitor should support 4K resolution, and it frames the 4K@60Hz output as part of the cable’s capability.
Is the 10Gbps speed guaranteed?
No. It says up to 10Gbps, and the listing is explicit that actual transfer depends on file size and type.
What’s included?
The listing says you get 1 pack of the USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 to Type-C cable and an 18-month warranty.
