Vention Cotton Braided USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Cable 1M Gray (TAAHF) – One Cable for 60W Charging, 5Gbps Data and 4K Video

The Vention Cotton Braided USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Cable 1M Gray (TAAHF) is a full-featured USB-C cable that handles charging, data and video over one connection. Unlike basic USB-C charging cables, which run at USB 2.0 speed and carry no picture, this USB 3.1 Gen 1 cable transfers files at up to 5Gbps and supports 4K video output to USB-C monitors. In addition, it carries USB Power Delivery up to 60W (3A), which fast-charges phones and tablets and powers many ultrabooks. As a result, the same cable can run a USB-C portable monitor, a portable SSD or a laptop charger, so there is less to carry.

For durability, a grey cotton-braided jacket wraps the cable and resists fraying and tangling. Inside, tinned copper conductors sit under aluminium foil shielding, with a slim 4.2mm diameter and a weight of about 36g. However, laptops that need more than 60W, such as some gaming and workstation models, will charge more slowly on this cable. Consequently, a freelancer in Lavington running a USB-C portable monitor or a student in Nyeri backing up to a USB-C SSD gets one tidy cable for several jobs.
