HangTon USB-C to USB-C 100W Fast Charging Braided Coiled Cable
Product description
What this is
A USB-C to USB-C charging and data cable designed to power up to 100W and transfer data at USB 2.0 speeds, with features aimed at a broad range of devices from laptops to smartphones and cameras.
What it’s for
If you use devices that support USB-C power delivery, this cable aims to provide fast charging and reliable data transfer. It’s pitched as compatible with a variety of brands and models, including newer iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Android phones, and many laptops. The braided, coiled design adds durability and twists less easily in daily use.
Build and durability
The cable uses an aluminium shell on the connectors and a braided black nylon jacket. The coiled design helps it stay tidy and resists fraying, while a 4mm wire diameter suggests a relatively sturdy profile for everyday charging needs. An integrated E-Mark chip is included to recognise charging protocols and adjust power output for safety and speed.
Charging performance
Output specs list up to 100W max (20V 5A) and 88W (20V 4.4A), with other options like 10V and 5V configurations, subject to the power source. It supports PD (Power Delivery) and QC3.0 protocols, which helps it negotiate the best charge with compatible devices and adapters.
Data and compatibility
The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbps, suitable for quick file transfers between cameras, laptops, phones and paired peripherals. It also claims full CarPlay, Android Auto, HiCar and CarLife support, enabling screen mirroring from a compatible phone to a car display.
Practical usage notes
On the practical side, the cable length is 18 inches when coiled and expandable up to 2 metres, which is handy for charging from a wall plug or reaching a car USB port. If you’re frequently plugging into a car, the ability to extend to 2m could reduce neck-craning and keep the setup neater.
Limitations and caveats
While the cable advertises high-wattage charging, actual delivery depends on the charger and device compatibility. It’s not a video/display cable, the data transfer rate is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, so it’s not ideal if you’re hoping to run high-bandwidth media or live display from a device. If you prioritise charging speed for a single laptop well above 100W, you may still need a dedicated high-capacity solution.
Who it’s for
This cable fits users who want a single, robust USB-C to USB-C cable for fast charging and general data transfer across multiple devices — phones, tablets, laptops, cameras — and who value durability from a braided design. It’s a pragmatic choice for those who need CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity alongside charging and data tasks.
Who it isn’t ideal for
If you mainly require high-speed video output or extremely high data throughput beyond USB 2.0 speeds, this cable may not meet those needs. It’s more about versatile charging and everyday data transfer than premium media throughput.
Before you buy
Check that your charger and device support the PD/QC profiles listed (20V, 5A or 4.4A). Verify that your car’s CarPlay/Android Auto setup is compatible with wired connections if you plan to mirror to the car display. Consider whether you need a longer reach than 18 inches when coiled.
How it compares to simple cables
Compared with basic USB-C cables, this option emphasises higher wattage delivery, smart protocol recognition, and a tougher braided build. If you only need a simple charge-and-sync cable for low-wattage devices, a cheaper, lighter alternative might suffice, if you demand rapid charging for multiple devices, this offers a stronger feature set.
What you get
In the box you’ll find the USB-C to USB-C cable with its braided exterior and the built-in E-Mark controller that helps negotiate charging. The description does not specify additional accessories, so plan accordingly for your charging setup.
FAQ
- Will this cable charge my MacBook Pro quickly? It supports up to 100W, which is suitable for many modern laptops that use USB-C PD. Actual charging speed will depend on the charger and the device’s PD profile.
- Can I use this for data transfer with a camera or phone? Yes, it supports USB 2.0 data at up to 480Mbps, suitable for transfers of photos and smaller files.
- Is it guaranteed to work with CarPlay in the car? The product claims full CarPlay, Android Auto, HiCar and CarLife support, enabling mirroring from supported devices to a car display.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you prioritise a sturdy, high-wattage charging cable with smart protocol recognition and a braided, coiled design for everyday versatility. It makes sense for mixed-device households or users who want one cable to cover multiple devices. Not the best option if your needs are strictly high-bandwidth data transfer or video output, or if you require a longer cable for flexible car seating.
