Personal computer accessory designed for fast, tidy USB-C charging, UGREEN Retractable USB C Cable. Ideal for travellers and commuters who want neat cables and quick top-ups. Is it the compact 100W lead worth carrying in daily kit?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Charging Speed: Up to 100W PD 3.0 (20V/5A) with automatic voltage/current negotiation
  • Best for: Frequent travellers and commuters who need compact, high-power charging
  • Not ideal for: Users who require USB 3.x data speeds or a fixed long cable

Retractable USB-C lead with four adjustable lengths and auto-rewind. Built-in E-Marker enables high-power PD charging for compatible laptops and devices.


Rapid Laptop Top-ups - With 100W PD 3.0 and E-Marker smart chip

Built-in E-Marker negotiates voltage and current up to 20V/5A under PD 3.0, so connected chargers and hosts agree the safest highest power. Manufacturer notes a MacBook Pro can reach about 42% battery in 30 minutes under the stated conditions.

Fast replenishing of laptop batteries during short stops makes the lead useful for work trips and busy commutes. Reliable power negotiation reduces the risk of undervoltage or overcurrent on compatible kit.

Clutter-free Desk and Bag Management - With a 4-step retractable length and secure locks

Four preset extension lengths (0.36m, 0.6m, 0.82m, 1m) lock internally when pulled to each position, and a gentle tug releases the spring for neat retraction. The auto-rewind mechanism removes the need to coil cables manually.

Adjustable lengths stop excess cable from tangling on desks and in bags, while rapid retraction keeps pockets and wallets tidy. Handy when switching between a laptop on a desk and a phone on the move.

Built to Withstand Daily Use - With reinforced springs and robust construction

Military-grade springs claim more than 5,000 cycles, and the assembly endures over 15,000 plugs and 20,000 bends. Cable jacket uses supple, flexible PVC for wear resistance and flexibility.

Durability statistics suggest the lead copes with frequent plugging and retracting over extended periods. Suitable for commuters and users who pack and unpack cables repeatedly.
