Nippon Labs USB-C to USB-C Cable, 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2, 100W PD, Braided, 0.5–3 m

A USB-C to USB-C cable built for the demanding end of the spec: 10 Gbps data, 100 W charging and 4K video in one braided lead. An e-marker chip in the connector tells the charger and the laptop that the cable is rated for 5 A, which is what unlocks full 100 W Power Delivery instead of the 60 W fallback that unmarked cables get.

Highlights

• USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 at 10 Gbps, fast enough for external SSDs and 10 Gbps docks; backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.
• 100 W Power Delivery (5 A / 20 V) with a built-in e-marker chip.
• 4K @ 60 Hz video for USB-C monitors and docks that use DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Braided mesh jacket over PVC with aluminum-alloy connector shells that resist fraying, kinks and pull-out at the plug.
• Gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance over thousands of insertions.
• Four lengths: 0.5 m, 1 m, 2 m and 3 m, in black and grey.

Specifications

Which length?

USB signaling gets harder to keep clean as cables get longer, so for the most consistent 10 Gbps throughput to a fast SSD or dock, use the shortest length that reaches. The 2 m and 3 m versions are the ones to pick for charging a laptop from a wall charger across a desk or nightstand, where reach matters more than peak transfer speed. All four lengths carry the full 100 W.
