What this cable is for

The StarTech USB31CCV1M is a three-foot USB-C to USB-C cable rated for 10Gbps data transfer and 100W Power Delivery 3.0 charging. It supports DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode for video output up to 8K at 30Hz and is Thunderbolt 3 compatible. The cable suits users connecting laptops, phones, docking stations or tablets that use USB-C for data, power and display.

Sustained performance

USB-IF certification confirms the cable meets USB 3.1 Gen 2 electrical and mechanical standards for reliable 10Gbps throughput. Shielding uses aluminium-Mylar foil with braid over 32 AWG conductors to maintain signal integrity during extended transfers. Nickel-plated connectors resist oxidation that can degrade contact resistance over time.

Build and daily use

The TPE jacket is rated for more than 10000 insertion cycles and over 4000 bends, indicating durability for frequent connect-disconnect routines. Male-to-male 24-pin connectors fit standard USB-C ports on devices such as MacBook Air, Pro, Surface Book, Galaxy Book, iPad Pro and Galaxy S series. The one-metre length balances desk reach with minimal cable clutter.

Questions about this item

Does the cable get warm when delivering 100W power all day?

The cable is rated for 100W Power Delivery 3.0 and uses 32 AWG conductors with aluminium-mylar foil and braid shielding, so normal operation at full load stays within its thermal design.

What must my devices already have to use the 10Gbps data rate?

Both ends need a USB Type-C port that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 signalling at 10Gbps.

Will this work with my older USB 3.0 Type-C laptop and a Thunderbolt dock?

Yes — the cable is Thunderbolt 3 compatible and backward compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) and USB 3.0 Type-C hosts, while still providing up to 100W charging.
