Maxhood USB C cable 240W, 5 inch
Product description
If you need a compact USB C to USB C cable that can handle fast charging and quick data transfer, this Maxhood cable is built for everyday kit. The 90 degree right angle design helps when ports are tight or you want a cleaner setup for charging, video, and reading 📱. With a short 5 inch length, it also helps reduce cable clutter at home and keeps your portable setup tidy.
The Maxhood Short USB C to USB C Cable is positioned for modern USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 workflows, including charging via PD 3.1, while staying flexible for daily use. It uses a flat, soft FPC cable design aimed at durability and easy handling, so it bends with less fuss around desks and bags. Whether you are connecting a phone, a MacBook, an external SSD, or a docking station, you get one cable that covers both power and high speed data needs 🎧.
Key points
The right angle connector is a practical detail that can make a noticeable difference when you are gaming, watching videos, or reading e-books with devices close to the table. The flat short profile is also useful for travel, because it is lightweight and space friendly, yet designed to stay flexible. When you plug in and start using it, the aim is a simple, comfortable experience without the cable getting in the way.
On top of the physical convenience, the cable is designed to support high speed transfer and high power charging under USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 standards, according to the manufacturer. It also includes an eMarker chip to help manage charging safely by automatically adjusting current and voltage. If you want a single USB C to USB C lead that can cover power, data, and video outputs, this is a straightforward option to consider.
Worth noting, this cable is short at 5 inch, so it is best suited when you want a direct connection between devices or dock ports, rather than long distance routing.

What to know
In daily use, this cable is intended to cover several common scenarios, from charging a phone or laptop to connecting accessories like external SSDs. It is described as a Thunderbolt 4 USB 4.0 PD 3.1 Type C cable, which matters if your devices support those capabilities and you want consistent performance across a mixed setup. For video, it is listed as supporting 8K at 60Hz output, so it can be useful when you are sending higher resolution content through compatible docks.
For speed, the cable is specified as meeting the USB 4 cable standard, with data transfer up to 40Gbps, according to the manufacturer. That can help when you are moving files or transferring audio and video quickly between a laptop and storage. For charging, it is designed to support PD 3.1 up to 240W and should also work with lower power charging modes such as PD 3.0 and PD 2.0.
Who it’s for
It makes sense if you want a short USB C cable for a tidy desk setup, a portable charger connection, or a dock connection where space is limited. It also suits people using a mix of devices like iPhone 15 or 14 models, MacBook, Galaxy S23, external SSDs, and docking stations, as listed for compatibility by the product description. You may want to skip it if you routinely need a longer reach between devices, because 5 inch is compact by design and can be restrictive in some layouts.
