USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 cable for charging and data

This two-metre cable connects any USB-C phone, tablet or laptop to another USB-C device such as a charger or multiport adapter. It carries up to 3 A for fast charging and provides 5 Gbps bandwidth for moving music, photos or video. The reversible connectors remove orientation frustration. It suits users who need a single cable for both power and data.

Check port version and power needs

Verify that both host and peripheral have USB-C ports before ordering. Confirm the charger or power bank can supply the 3 A the cable is rated for if fast charging is required. Ensure the laptop or device supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data rates to obtain the full 5 Gbps throughput. The 2 m length may be excessive for desktop use.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous maximum current the conductors warm slightly but remain within the 30 AWG rating. Extended file transfers at 5 Gbps do not throttle because the cable is passive and has no active electronics to overheat. Voltage drop across the 2 m run stays low enough that most devices maintain their negotiated charge rate throughout long sessions.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the 124284 cable and do I need anything else to use it?

The package contains the single 2 metre USB-C to USB-C cable. No extra adapters or drivers are required; plug both ends into USB-C ports on your charger, laptop, phone or peripheral and it works immediately.

The listing mentions USB 3.1 Gen 1 and 3 A charging — which capability should I base my choice on?

Choose by the task: if you mainly move large files between a laptop and an external SSD, the 5 Gbps data rate is the deciding factor; if you primarily need fast charging for a phone or tablet, the 3 A current rating is the key figure.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I copy files to an external drive?

The 5 Gbps figure is the cable's maximum signalling speed; actual throughput depends on the host controller and the drive, but the cable itself will not bottleneck transfers that stay within the USB 3.1 Gen 1 specification.
