What this cable is and who it is for

The StarTech USB2C5C1M is a 1 metre USB 2.0 cable with USB‑C male connectors on both ends. It delivers up to 100 W of power at 5 A for fast charging laptops, tablets and phones, while data moves at 480 Mbit/s. The USB‑IF certified build uses aluminium‑Mylar foil with braid shielding and nickel‑plated conductors for reliable daily use. It suits anyone who needs a single cable for charging and basic sync between two USB‑C ports.

How it fits into a setup

Plug one end into a USB‑C wall charger, car charger, power bank or docking station and the other into a USB‑C laptop such as a MacBook Pro, MacBook or Chromebook Pixel. The same cable works with Thunderbolt 3 ports for power delivery, though data remains at USB 2.0 speeds. No driver or software is required; the connection is purely passive and draws whatever the host and source negotiate up to the 5 A limit.

What it replaces and when to upgrade

This cable replaces any older USB‑C to USB‑C lead limited to 3 A or lacking USB‑IF certification, giving you the full 5 A rating for demanding laptops. It is not for users who need USB 3.1, USB 3.2 or USB4 data rates, nor for video output over USB‑C. If your workflow moves large files or drives external displays, choose a cable rated for the higher speed tier instead.

Questions about this item

Does the 480 Mbit/s data rate limit how quickly I can move large files?

The cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbit/s, so large file transfers will be slower than with a USB 3.x or Thunderbolt 3 cable.

Will the cable get warm or draw more power when charging a laptop at 100 W continuously?

It is built to deliver up to 5 A and 100 W with aluminum‑Mylar foil and braid shielding, so it handles sustained high‑power charging without overheating.

Do I need a USB‑C charger or power bank that supports 5 A output to get the full 100 W?

Yes, the source must supply up to 5 A over USB‑C Power Delivery; a lower‑rated charger will only provide its maximum current.
