USB-C cable for charging and data

This 3 ft USB-C to USB-C cable carries Thunderbolt 3 signals and USB 2.0 data at up to 480 Mbps. It connects laptops, tablets, phones or external drives with a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. Nickel-plated connectors and gold-plated contacts resist corrosion. Reversible plugs insert either way up.

Sustained 60 W power delivery

The cable supports Power Delivery up to 20 V 3 A for a continuous 60 W charge. Voltage and current remain stable during long charging sessions so phones, Chromebooks and most laptops reach full capacity without throttling. Data transfer stays at USB 2.0 speeds even while maximum power flows.

Simple plug-and-play installation

No drivers or configuration are required on Windows, macOS or Chrome OS. The only common issue is expecting USB 3 or Thunderbolt data rates; this cable is limited to USB 2.0 bandwidth. Ensure both host and peripheral support 60 W PD if fast charging is needed.

Questions about this item

Will the cable stay cool when carrying 60 W for hours?

The cable is rated for 20 V at 3 A, delivering up to 60 W, and uses standard nickel-plated connectors with gold contacts that handle continuous load without overheating.

What must my devices already have to use this cable?

Both ends need a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port; the cable is male-to-male so it plugs directly into laptops, docks, chargers or phones that expose those ports.

Can I use it with older USB 2.0 peripherals that only have USB-C sockets?

Yes, the cable meets USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, so it will sync and charge legacy USB-C devices at their native speed while still fitting Thunderbolt 3 hosts.
