USB-C Cables

Every TOP-UP USB-C cable carries 60W Power Delivery and real data lines. Those two facts decide almost everything about whether a cable works the way you expect, and they are exactly what the cheap cables leave out.

Why cable choice changes charging speed

A charger can only deliver what the cable allows. A USB-C cable without the right internal wiring negotiates down to 15W or less no matter how powerful the wall plug is — which is the single most common reason a fast charger feels slow. There is no way to tell by looking. Every cable in this collection is rated for 60W, which is more than any phone or tablet can draw.

Choosing a length

• 1.15 ft — car consoles and power banks. Nothing loops around the gearshift.
• 3.3 ft — the standard desk and nightstand length.
• 6.6 ft — wall socket to bed, sofa or back seat without an extension lead.

On each product page you can switch length and colour without going back here — the selectors sit under the price.

USB-C to USB-C, or USB-A to USB-C?

Match the charger, not the phone. New wall plugs, laptops and recent cars use the oval USB-C port. Older bricks, most car ports and laptop hubs use the flat rectangular USB-A. Several cables here ship with a USB-A adapter so one cord covers both — though a USB-A port caps out near 12W whatever cable you use.

For wired CarPlay and Android Auto the requirement is different again: the cable must carry data, not just power. The CarPlay collection groups the cables built for that, and the troubleshooting guide explains why most cheap cords fail in a car.

Do the colours change anything?

No. Every colour in a family is the same cable with the same rating and the same braided jacket. Colour exists so cords stop getting mixed up in a household or a shared office.
