For a 1‑metre USB‑C cable with 100W power delivery, £44.42 ex‑VAT is on the pricey side—but Kensington’s cables are usually well‑made, and that matters in a business environment where these things get plugged/unplugged constantly. If you’re replacing a cable that’s started to feel loose, charging becomes unreliable, or you need something you can trust for dock setups (laptops + monitors + peripherals), this is the kind of cable that’s less likely to be “fine until it isn’t.” The short length is also genuinely practical for desks and dock placements—no need to manage a long cable that will just get in the way.
That said, I wouldn’t buy this on cost alone if you just need a standard “works for charging” lead for the occasional use. Plenty of cheaper USB‑C cables will do basic charge reliably; the difference is longevity and consistent performance under higher power. If your team is running high-power docking scenarios every day and you want to reduce the annoying failure rate that comes with budget cables, then it’s a sensible upgrade. If you only need low-to-mid power or occasional use, there are better value options that won’t leave you feeling like you paid a premium for something you won’t notice.
