AI-generated summary
For £21.49 ex‑VAT, this C2G 1.8m USB‑C to USB‑C lead feels priced like a “proper work cable” rather than a throwaway spare. I’d buy it for desks, home offices, or comms racks where you want a decent length for cable management without having to rely on sketchy bargain cables. It’s also the kind of option that makes sense if you’re powering/charging equipment that expects a higher power USB‑C negotiation (the 20V/5A angle), rather than just slow charging off whatever cable happens to be in the drawer.
That said, I wouldn’t pay this price if your use is just basic data to a laptop dock/printer/scanner. For everyday USB 3.2 Gen 1 data at normal distances, cheaper cables often do the job just fine, and cable spend becomes hard to justify unless you’re actually seeing better reliability or you’re confident this particular lead is being used for higher‑power devices. If you need one or two cables for reliable daily use—especially in a setup where power delivery matters—this is a sensible procurement pick. If you’re bulk-buying for low-risk peripherals, I’d look for a better value option.
