USB-C 2.0 cable for everyday charging

This six-foot USB-C to USB-C 2.0 cable connects phones, tablets, laptops and power banks for charging and data transfer. It is USB-IF certified and rated for up to 15 W at 5 V/3 A. The male-to-male connectors fit any USB-C port without adapters. It suits users who need a reliable lead for daily power and sync tasks.

Steady 480 Mbps transfer under load

Data moves at up to 480 Mbps across the copper conductors during sustained file copies between smartphones, tablets, laptops or hard drives. The USB 2.0 signalling maintains that rate without the higher-lane bursts seen on faster standards. Charging holds at the rated 15 W continuously, so devices draw their allowed current without throttling. It is not for users who need multi-gigabit sustained throughput.

15 W power ceiling decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 15 W (5 V/3 A) maximum power delivery. Devices requiring higher wattage or Power Delivery negotiation above that level will charge more slowly or not at all. Buyers whose gear demands more than 15 W should select a cable rated for higher power. This cable meets the needs of phones, tablets and low-power laptops within that limit.

Questions about this item

Does the 15 W charging limit create noticeable heat during all-day use?

The cable is rated for 15 W at 5 V and 3 A, so sustained operation stays within a modest power envelope that does not generate significant warmth.

What charger or port must I already have to reach the 15 W fast-charge rating?

You need a USB-C power source that can deliver 5 V at 3 A, such as a 15 W wall charger or a laptop port rated for that current.

Will this 2.0 cable slow down an external SSD that I keep from an older laptop?

Data transfers are capped at 480 Mbps, so an older SSD will run at USB 2.0 speeds rather than its native rate.
