The SIIG USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1 Cable is a 1-meter USB-C-to-USB-C cable for people who want to charge and sync compatible laptops, tablets, or phones, with up to 60W Power Delivery and data speeds up to 5Gbps.
Recommended For
- USB-C laptop users who want one short desk cable for charging up to 60W and transferring files at up to 5Gbps.
- People connecting a USB-C laptop or tablet to a 4K display, provided the device’s USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
- Travelers or mobile workers who need a 1-meter USB-C-to-USB-C cable for charging and syncing compatible phones, tablets, or laptops near a charger or computer.
- Users with Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports who need standard USB data, USB Power Delivery, or DisplayPort Alt Mode—not native Thunderbolt-device connectivity.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- At a desk or bedside, use the cable with a compatible USB-C Power Delivery charger to charge a phone or tablet; charging speed depends on the device and charger.
- For a USB-C laptop that accepts up to 60W over USB Power Delivery, use it with a suitable charger for everyday charging; it may not meet the power needs of laptops that require more than 60W.
- Connect a compatible laptop to a USB-C monitor for a single-cable video connection; 4K at 60Hz requires DisplayPort Alt Mode support from the laptop and monitor.
- Use it to transfer files or sync data between compatible USB-C devices, such as a laptop and an external drive; transfer performance depends on both devices and can reach up to 5Gbps.
