USB C Cable 5M 3.1A fast charging cable

This extra-long USB-C cable of 5 metres from APCUWCQ gives more freedom to charge and sync devices across a room or vehicle while seated away from power outlets. It combines a long reach with fast charging capability, making it practical for living rooms, bedside tables and back seats where standard cables fall short.

Key Points

The cable supports up to 3.1 A according to the manufacturer and is compliant with USB Type-C specification version 1.1. Its extended 5 m length lets you use a phone or tablet comfortably while it charges. The braided nylon jacket and aluminium connector housings aim to improve durability and resist everyday wear. Note that to obtain the fastest charging speeds you will need a compatible fast-charging adapter and a device that supports fast charging.

Technical Specifications

• Name: APCUWCQ USB C Cable 5M
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum current: 3.1 A (manufacturer specification)

Advantages

The long run of this cable reduces the need to remain close to sockets, which is useful when charging from floor-level plugs or shared outlets in public spaces. The 3 A-capable design means higher charging current than many older 2 A cables, so charging times can be shorter when paired with a suitable adapter. The cable’s construction targets longevity, with a braided outer layer that resists tangles and a reinforced joint that helps prevent fraying at common failure points.

Usage Recommendations

For faster charging, use an OEM or QC3.0 fast-charging adapter and confirm that your device supports higher charging currents. Keep in mind that not all Type-C devices will fast charge with this cable; device compatibility and the adapter used determine final charging speed. The cable is convenient for connecting phones to a laptop or for car passengers who want to charge while using a device, but the extra length means it should be routed carefully to avoid tripping hazards.

Practical Tips

When storing the cable, coil it loosely to preserve the braided sheath and the reinforced joints. If you use the cable in a vehicle, secure excess length to prevent snagging or accidental yanking of the port. For data transfer, expect speeds up to 480 Mbps which suits typical file syncing and backup tasks, though large media transfers will take longer compared with modern higher-bandwidth standards.

The product comes as a single nylon-braided Type-C cable and includes after-sales support via the seller’s customer service for queries or issues according to the original listing.
