Product description
This USB‑C cable delivers fast charging and high‑speed data in a compact 1 metre length, suited for laptops, tablets and external SSDs. It supports power delivery up to 240W and offers a high transfer rate for moving large files or driving an external display, making it a practical option for mobile work and multimedia setups.
Key Points
The cable is built to the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 specification and supports data rates up to 20Gbps, so transferring large files between a computer and an SSD is considerably quicker than with older USB 3.1 cables. It includes an E‑Marker chip to manage the power profile and ensure the cable negotiates the correct current with compatible chargers and devices. ⚡
Video output is supported via DisplayPort Alternate Mode, allowing 4K@60Hz or 2K@165Hz where the host device and monitor accept this mode. This makes the cable useful for extending or mirroring displays from modern laptops and tablets. 🎬
Durability improvements are apparent in the reinforced aluminium connectors and laser welding on metal parts, which the manufacturer indicates reduces risk of breakage and improves long‑term reliability. Consider that video output requires device support for DP Alt Mode according to the device specifications.

Usage Recommendations
Use this cable for high‑power laptops that accept 5A PD charging, such as many recent ultraportable and workstation models, and for fast file transfer to NVMe or SATA SSDs in enclosures. When connecting to an external monitor, check that the laptop or tablet supports DisplayPort over USB‑C before expecting 4K output. For everyday charging of phones and smaller tablets the cable works without issue, although smaller devices will draw only the power they require.
A practical nuance: while the E‑Marker allows high current delivery and negotiation, actual charging speed depends on the charger and device capability. Also, some Thunderbolt hosts may operate differently with USB‑C cables, so if full Thunderbolt bandwidth is needed confirm compatibility with your specific laptop or hub.
