USB-C to USB-C cable for charging and data

This USB-C to USB-C cable connects two USB-C devices for charging and data transfer. It measures 6 ft (1.8 m) and supports USB 2.0 speeds up to .48 Gbps. The flat black copper construction resists tangling and fits tight spaces. It is also Thunderbolt 3 compatible.

Suits users linking phones.

Buyers who need a simple cable to charge a tablet or sync a phone will find the length and speed adequate. The Female-to-Female terminal gender note appears to be a data error; the cable is male-to-male. Users who require USB 3.x or Thunderbolt 3 data rates should look at a higher-speed cable.

USB 2.0 at .48 Gbps sets the performance ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the .48 Gbps USB 2.0 data rate. It handles charging and basic file moves but will bottleneck large transfers or video output that demand more bandwidth. Match the cable speed to the port capability before buying.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 6 ft length or is there a shorter version listed?

The product facts only list a 6 ft cable, so that is the single length available for this model.

What does the 0.48 Gbps speed mean when I plug this cable into my laptop?

It means the cable runs at USB 2.0 rates, so file copies and syncs will be noticeably slower than with a USB 3 or Thunderbolt cable.

Is the Thunderbolt 3 label on the box a full Thunderbolt connection or just a physical fit?

The cable is Thunderbolt 3 compatible in form only; the 0.48 Gbps limit caps data to USB 2.0 speeds even on a Thunderbolt port.
