UGREEN USB-C to USB-C Charger Cable (60W fast charge, 2m) for MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Galaxy & Pixel
Product description
What this cable is for
If you’re tired of having the “right” charger cable only when you’re at home, a decent USB-C to USB-C charging lead becomes one of those boring-but-essential purchases. This UGREEN cable is built around 60W fast charging, aiming to keep Type C devices topped up quickly while staying reasonably tough for everyday cable life.
On paper, the pitch is simple: a USB-C cable that can deliver up to 60W (20V/3A) for compatible devices, plus support for data syncing at up to 480Mbps. It’s also described as having a nylon jacket, an aluminium case, and reinforced strain relief to reduce the usual stress points where cables fail.
That “on paper” bit matters, because 60W isn’t the same thing as “every device will charge at 60W”. The actual charging speed depends on what your charger and your device negotiate, so it’s worth checking your device’s charging capabilities if you care about the fastest possible charge.
Key features that matter day to day
The parts of this cable that are most likely to be noticeable in real use are the build details and the practical extras.
UGREEN states the cable has a high-strength nylon jacket and an aluminium case, with thicker and longer strain relief between the head and the cable. It’s also said to pass 30000+ bending tests (without twist, tug, and tangle) and to achieve a strong connection feel based on 20000+ plug tests. In plain terms: it’s designed to survive the repeated bending and plugging that happens when you keep cables in bags, at desks, and around the house.
There’s also multi-protection built in for safer 60W fast charging. While that doesn’t turn any cable into a warranty-proof magic item, it’s a sensible baseline if you’re charging phones, tablets or laptops regularly.
Charging performance: the realistic expectations
This lead is rated for up to 60W (20V/3A). If your compatible devices support fast charging over USB-C, you can reasonably expect faster charging than you’d get from basic, lower-power leads.
However, there’s one limitation clearly flagged: it’s a USB C 2.0 lead and does not support video output. That means you shouldn’t buy it expecting it to run a monitor or dock display over the cable.
Also, fast charging only helps if your power adapter can supply the right output. If you already have a suitable USB-C charger, this cable is more likely to “do its job” as intended. If not, the cable can’t create charging power out of thin air.
Data syncing at up to 480Mbps (plus a common workflow)
One useful angle here is the inclusion of data sync, rated up to 480Mbps. The description claims that 1G files can be transferred within 30 seconds.
If you’re the sort of person who routinely moves photos from a phone to a laptop while the phone is charging, this is the kind of cable that fits that workflow. For example: you connect your USB-C phone to a USB-C laptop, start copying a batch of photos, and keep the phone topped up rather than juggling separate charging and data cables.
As always, real-world speeds vary based on your device, the laptop’s port, and what software is doing in the background—but the headline support is there.
Compatibility: where it’s meant to fit
The compatibility list in the description is broad, including (among others) iPad Pro 2024, iPad Air 5, MacBook Pro M3/Air, iPhone 16/15 Plus/Pro/Pro Max, Galaxy S24/S23 Ultra, and Pixel 8 Pro. It also mentions devices like Surface and various other USB-C devices.
Worth noting: compatibility is described in terms of “most USB C laptops/tablets/smartphones” and the examples provided. That generally suggests it’s aimed at everyday USB-C users, not a niche spec-only setup.
What could disappoint you (a couple of limits to consider)
This cable will likely feel like money well spent if you just want a reliable USB-C cable for charging and data. But it may be less satisfying if your expectations are more “do-everything”.
- It does not support video output, so it won’t help with USB-C display use.
- The fast charging claim is capped at 60W, so if you own devices that need higher charging wattage for the best experience, you may find this feels more mid-range than top-tier.
Also, if your main goal is ultra-heavy-duty, industrial-grade cable longevity, the listed tests are reassuring—but still, it’s described for everyday durability rather than extreme use.
Pros
- Up to 60W fast charging rated (20V/3A), suitable for compatible USB-C devices
- Built-in multi-protection for 60W fast charging
- Nylon jacket with aluminium case and reinforced strain relief for daily wear and tear
- Supports data syncing up to 480Mbps (useful for moving photos/files while charging)
Cons
- No video output support (not for monitor/dock display)
- 60W performance depends on your charger and device negotiation, so results may vary

The information provided focuses on the cable itself, no extra accessories are mentioned.
Is it worth it?
This UGREEN USB-C to USB-C Charger Cable is a solid pick if you want a single cable for charging plus data syncing, and you value reinforced build details for the kind of bending and plugging that happens in real life.
You may want to skip it if you specifically need video output over USB-C, or if you’re chasing the highest possible charging wattage beyond the 60W cap.
If you’re buying for a MacBook/iPad/iPhone/Android device and you already have (or plan to use) a suitable USB-C power adapter, it makes sense as an everyday charging/data lead. Just do a quick check that your devices actually support the fast-charge profile you’re hoping for.
