High-power USB-C cable designed to deliver fast, smart charging for laptops, tablets and phones, UGREEN USB C Cable. Durable construction and intelligent voltage negotiation ease worries for commuters and mobile professionals. Is 240W capability relevant for everyday use and most USB-C devices?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Charge Performance: PD 3.1 support enabling up to 48V/5A for 240W charging with an onboard E‑marker for negotiation
  • Best for: Frequent travellers and professionals who need rapid top-ups for USB-C laptops and tablets
  • Not ideal for: Users who require video output over USB-C or an on-cable charging speed display

PD 3.1 enables high-power delivery and an E‑marker chip negotiates safe voltage and current. Robust materials and laser welding are lab-tested for long-term durability.


Rapid Recharges – Thanks to PD 3.1 and 48V/5A support

PD 3.1 standard negotiates higher voltages and currents via the E‑marker chip, allowing up to 48V/5A power delivery that reaches 240W. Manufacturer claims include charging a MacBook Pro 16" to 88% or an iPad Pro to 92% in around 35 minutes under compatible conditions.

Significantly reduces top-up time for compatible laptops and tablets, useful for short breaks between meetings or travel.

Smarter Battery Protection – With an advanced E‑marker chip

E‑marker circuitry communicates with connected equipment to select the correct voltage and current profile and to prevent unsafe power delivery. Intelligent negotiation reduces risk of overvoltage during peak charging.

Helps preserve battery health by matching supply to device needs, making repeated fast charging safer over time.

Built to Last – With high-strength nylon, aluminium shells and laser welding

High-strength nylon braid, aluminium alloy connector shells and laser-welded joints combine for mechanical resilience in laboratory tests. Tests report over 30,000 bending cycles and more than 20,000 plug insertions.

Handles daily use, travel and frequent plugging without fraying or connector failure, so confidence in longevity is higher than typical cheap cables.

✨ The 4 Key Reasons for UGREEN USB C Cable
  1. Durable construction – Survives 30,000+ bends and 20,000+ plug cycles in lab tests
  2. Broad compatibility – Works with MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro/Air, ThinkPad, Surface and major phones
  3. USB 2.0 data transfer – 480Mbps for routine file syncing between devices
  4. Intelligent negotiation – E‑marker chip negotiates voltage/current to protect batteries
