USB 2.0 Type-C cable, 3 m length

This USB 2.0 cable connects two USB-C devices over a three-metre distance. It suits users who need a longer reach for charging or syncing without moving their equipment. The male-to-male design fits standard Type-C ports on laptops, phones, tablets and power banks. It is built for everyday power and data tasks at USB 2.0 speeds.

480 Mbit/s data rate and 5 A power delivery

The cable carries data at up to 480 Mbit/s, which is the full USB 2.0 specification. It also supports up to 5 A current for 100 W power delivery, allowing it to charge compatible laptops and fast-charge mobile devices. Buyers who require USB 3.x or Thunderbolt data throughput should choose a different cable.

Plug-and-play with shielded construction

Both ends are 24-pin USB-C male connectors that insert directly into any Type-C port; no drivers or adapters are needed. Aluminium-Mylar foil with braid shielding helps reduce interference during charging and data transfer. The three-metre length adds flexibility but may increase voltage drop on very high-current loads compared with shorter cables.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbit/s speed mean when I connect two devices?

The cable runs at USB 2.0 rates, so data moves at up to 480 Mbit/s — fine for syncing phones or peripherals, but not for high-speed video or fast external drives.

How does the USB-IF certification and 5 A rating affect what I can plug in?

USB-IF certification confirms the cable meets the official USB 2.0 Type-C specification, and the 5 A rating lets it deliver up to 100 W of power for charging laptops or other USB-C devices.

Will the 3 m length and 24-pin connectors fit my laptop and charger without adapters?

Yes — both ends are standard USB-C male plugs with 24 pins, so they mate directly with any USB-C port on a laptop, charger, power bank or dock.
