USB-C to USB-C cable for 100 W charging

This six-foot cable links two USB-C devices such as a laptop and a docking station or a smartphone and a charger. It carries USB 3.1 Gen 1 data at up to 5 Gbps and supports Thunderbolt 3 hosts. The 5 A rating delivers up to 100 W of power for fast charging.

Thermals noise and power draw

The copper conductors handle the rated 100 W load without active cooling, so the cable runs silently and adds no fan noise to your setup. Power loss over the 6 ft length stays within USB-IF limits for 5 A operation. No external power adapter is required for the cable itself.

Build quality and daily connectivity

Male-to-male USB-C plugs on both ends fit current laptops, MacBooks, Chromebooks and Ultrabooks with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports. The black jacket resists tangling during frequent connect and disconnect cycles. Single-cable design keeps desk clutter low for travel or permanent docking.

Questions about this item

How do I connect this cable to a Thunderbolt 3 port, and what mistake should I avoid?

Plug the male USB-C connector straight into the Thunderbolt 3 port until it clicks; forcing it at an angle can bend the pins inside the plug.

Will the copper conductors or the connectors need replacement after extended use?

The copper conductors are solid-core and rated for the cable's lifetime; only the USB-C connectors may wear if inserted and removed repeatedly.

At what point does the 5 Gbps data rate become the bottleneck during a long file transfer?

The 5 Gbps limit of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface is reached as soon as the host controller saturates the link, regardless of cable length.
