USB 3.1 USB-C Male to USB-C Male Data Cable

Type-C to Type-C is where the connector finally keeps its promises: both ends reversible, both ends carrying the same full USB 3.1 link. This cable moves data at up to 10 Gbps — the 128b/130b encoding that doubled USB throughput — and carries power up to 100 W when paired with a USB Power Delivery charger, so a laptop can charge and talk to its drive on one lead.

It is the cable for external SSDs that outgrow USB 2.0, for docks that need the full link, and for PD charging between modern chargers and phones, tablets and notebooks. Both connectors are the same reversible Type-C male, so orientation stops being a thing you think about. As with every USB 3.1 assembly, 10 Gbps requires both devices to support it; the cable does not invent speed the ports do not have.

FAQ

Do I get 10 Gbps on any laptop?
Only if both ports support USB 3.1 Gen 2; on 5 Gbps ports it runs at 5, and on 2.0 ports at 480 Mbps. The cable passes what the ports give it.

Is it a Thunderbolt 3 cable?
No — it is a USB 3.1 data/PD cable. Thunderbolt-specific features such as dual 4K daisy chains need a certified TB3 lead.
