USB-C to USB-C cable with 5 A power delivery

This 1.8 m cable connects two USB-C devices and supports up to 5 amps of power delivery for charging laptops, phones or powering external drives. It is certified to the USB 3.0 standard and rated for 5 Gbps data transfer. The cable also works with Thunderbolt 3 ports for compatible hosts and peripherals.

USB 3.0 5 Gbps limit and Thunderbolt 3 compatibility

The USB 3.0 interface caps data throughput at 5 Gbps, so large file copies will not reach the higher speeds of later USB 3.1 or USB 3.2 generations. Thunderbolt 3 ports accept the cable for data and power, but the link remains limited to the USB 3.0 signalling rate rather than full Thunderbolt bandwidth.

Replaces shorter or lower-current USB-C cables

This cable replaces shorter USB-C leads that cannot span the distance between a wall charger, power bank or laptop and the device being powered. It also upgrades from cables rated for only 3 A, enabling 5 A charging where both the charger and device support that current. The jump is worth it when you need the extra length and the higher power-handling in a single certified cable.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1.8 m length or a shorter cable for my setup?

The 1.8 m length gives you extra reach for charging a laptop from a wall outlet or connecting a USB-C hard drive across a desk without strain on the connectors.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my laptop?

It delivers USB 3.0 transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, so large files move quickly between a USB-C drive and your computer.

Is the USB-C connector limited to USB 3.0 or does it support Thunderbolt 3 ports?

The cable is Thunderbolt 3 port compatible and USB-IF certified, so it works with Thunderbolt 3 hosts while maintaining 5 Gbps data and 5 A power delivery.
