What this cable does
A PPA International USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 10 Gbps data transfer and Thunderbolt 3 support. It suits users who need a single reversible cable for both high-speed file moves and high-power charging on compatible laptops and peripherals.
The spec that decides fit
USB 3.1 Gen 2 with an embedded E-Mark IC and 56K resistor ensures the link negotiates full 10 Gbps throughput and safe power delivery. Without the E-Mark chip many hosts fall back to lower speeds or limited charging current.
Behaviour under sustained load
The E-Mark IC maintains negotiated voltage and current during long transfers or extended charging sessions, preventing the throttling seen on unmarked cables. Reversible USB 3.1 Type C connectors stay locked in through repeated plug cycles.

Questions about this item
What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when the cable is connected between two devices?
The 10 Gbps figure is the maximum data throughput of the USB 3.1 Gen 2 link; actual speed will match the slowest port in the chain.
Which interface standard does the cable use and what does that limit in practice?
It uses USB 3.1 Gen 2 with an embedded E-Mark IC, capping data at 10 Gbps and enabling Thunderbolt 3 compatibility where the host supports it.
What physical length and connector style does this cable need to fit my setup?
The cable is 6.5 ft long with reversible USB-C plugs on both ends, so it reaches across a desk and inserts either way up.
