Hyper HyperDrive Next - USB cable - USB-C (M) to USB-C (M) - USB4 - 1.2 m - black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £15.12 ex-VAT, a Targus USB‑C to USB‑C cable like the HyperDrive Next is one of those “good enough, don’t overthink it” buys—especially if you just need reliable charging and everyday USB‑C data in an office or small fleet. The length (1.2m) is handy for laptops on desks or docking setups where you want a bit of slack without cluttering. In practice, the value here is less about some magic capability and more about getting something that’s consistent, decent quality, and unlikely to be the weak link in a daily workflow.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if you’re expecting it to be the hero for high-performance USB4 use cases—like demanding high-speed external storage or tight video workflows where cable quality variability really matters. For those scenarios, spend time matching the cable to your specific device expectations (and cable ratings your IT team actually cares about). Also, if you’re buying for lots of staff, make sure you’re standardising the whole ecosystem (ports/docks/devices), because a “good cable” can still be bottlenecked by the other side. For general office charging/data around USB‑C laptops and docks? Yes, it’s a sensible, cost-effective pick.
