USB-C Cable Buying Guide: Charging, Data and Video

Learn why USB-C cables differ in power delivery, transfer speed and display support.

Same connector, different capabilities

USB-C describes a connector shape. Cables can support different charging, data and video features.

Match charging requirements

Check the charger, device and cable ratings. High-power charging may require an electronically marked cable.

Match transfer speed

A cable intended only for charging may not support fast data transfer or external displays.

Choose the right length

Longer cables may have different performance limits; check the product specifications.
