The UGREEN USB C to USB C Cable is a USB-C cable built to combine high-power charging, high-speed data and 4K video output in a single lead. It brings practical convenience for professionals who switch between laptop, tablet and monitor setups frequently. Does the build and compatibility make it the sensible choice for everyday heavy use?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Data Transfer: 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 speed for rapid file moves
  • Best for: People who need one cable for fast charging, video and backups
  • Not ideal for: Setups that require cable runs significantly longer than 1m

Supports 10Gbps data transfer, DisplayPort Alt Mode for 4K@60Hz and PD3.1 charging up to 48V/5A. Built with an E-Marker chip and four-layer shielding for stable transfers and safe high-power charging.


Crisp 4K Video for External Displays - with DisplayPort Alt Mode and Thunderbolt 3 support

DisplayPort Alt Mode and Thunderbolt 3 compatibility allow the cable to carry video signals over USB-C, handling up to 4K at 60Hz (3840x2160). The connector and protocol negotiation pass the necessary video bandwidth from source to monitor.

Use a laptop or phone as a workstation or for presentations, with sharp 4K output to external monitors and TVs, suitable for editing, streaming or mirroring screens.

Extremely Fast File Transfers - with USB 3.1 Gen 2 at 10Gbps

USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard supports up to 10Gbps SuperSpeed data rates, enabling very rapid transfers of large files. The cable’s connector wiring and shielding maintain the required signal integrity for those speeds.

Move multi-gigabyte projects between drives and laptops quickly, making backups and large media transfers far less time-consuming.

High-Power Charging in Minutes - thanks to 240W PD3.1 (48V/5A)

Power Delivery 3.1 supports up to 48V and 5A, enabled by an intelligent E-Marker chip that negotiates voltage and current to match the connected device safely. Robust internal construction and safety logic help prevent over-voltage and over-current events.

Charge compatible laptops and devices rapidly; for example the MacBook Pro 2023 can reach around 88% in roughly 35 minutes, reducing downtime between tasks.
