16-inch USB-C flat cable for 10 Gbps data

This 1.3 ft male-to-male cable carries USB 3.1 Gen 2 signals at 10 Gbps and delivers up to 5 A for charging laptops, phones or power banks. It works with any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port, making it a compact spare for travel or desk use. The short length keeps clutter low while still reaching adjacent ports.

Reversible plugs and flat profile simplify daily

Both ends insert either way up, so there is no wrong orientation when you plug in. The flat construction resists tangling and bends easily around tight corners in a bag or behind a monitor. No drivers or software are required; the cable is recognised immediately by the host device.

10 Gbps ceiling and 16 in length define

The USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface caps throughput at 10 Gbps, so faster USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 hosts will still negotiate down to this rate. The fixed 16 in reach suits side-by-side devices but cannot span a typical desk or connect floor-standing gear. For longer runs or higher bandwidth a different cable is necessary.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cable is delivering 10 Gbps data and 5A power after connecting it?

Use a USB-C power meter to verify 5A current draw and run a large file transfer to an external SSD; sustained speeds near 10 Gbps show the link is operating at USB 3.1 Gen 2 rates.

What comes in the box and do I need a separate charger or adapter?

The package contains only the 16 in USB-C flat cable with male-to-male plugs; a USB-C wall charger, power bank or host device must be supplied separately.

Should I choose the 16 in version or a longer length for docking-station use?

The 16 in model is intended for tight spaces such as a laptop bag or desk dock; if the docking station sits farther away, select a longer cable instead.
