UNDERSTANDING USB-C

Charging Power and Data Speed Are Independent

USB-C describes the connector interface. It does not by itself tell you how much charging power, data bandwidth or video capability a cable provides.

Watts

Power & Charging

Defines how much electrical power the cable can carry between compatible devices.

Device charging requirement
Cable power rating
3A / 5A current capability
E-Marker where required
Gbps

Data & Signal

Defines the cable's data bandwidth and signal-related capabilities.

Data transfer speed
High-speed storage support
Docking applications
Video capability where supported

USB-C Cable Power Rating

The cable's maximum capability should also be checked separately. Depending on the USB-C cable specification, power capability may be identified as 60W or 240W.

DATA TRANSFER

Choose a USB-C Cable by Data Transfer Speed

Data performance should be selected independently from charging power. Basic synchronization, external storage, docking stations and high-performance peripherals can require very different data bandwidth.

VIDEO CAPABILITY

Not Every USB-C Cable Supports Video

USB-C describes the connector interface, but the connector alone does not guarantee video output.

For monitors, docking stations and display applications, video capability should be confirmed separately from charging power and data transfer speed.

The host device, cable and connected display must all support the required video functionality.

BASIC

Charging Cable

Primarily designed for charging. Video output should not be assumed.

DATA

Charging + Data Cable

Supports data transfer, but video support still depends on the specific cable design.

FULL-FEATURED

Video-Capable Cable

Designed for compatible video, docking and full-featured USB-C applications.

FAQ

USB Type-C Cable Questions

Common questions about charging power, data speed, video and USB-C cable compatibility.

No. Charging capability and data performance are separate cable characteristics. A cable can provide high charging power while supporting basic data transfer, while another cable may provide high-speed data with a different power capability.
No. The 240W specification describes cable power capability. Data performance must be checked separately.
Device charging power and maximum cable power capability are different values. A cable capable of carrying up to 60W can also operate in a system using a lower charging power.
No. Video capability depends on the cable design and the capabilities of the host and display device.
Match the cable to the interface performance supported by both the computer and external SSD. Depending on the hardware, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, 20Gbps, 40Gbps or higher bandwidth may be appropriate.
Electronic marking is used where the cable needs to communicate defined cable capabilities to connected equipment. It is particularly important for higher-current USB-C cable designs.
