StarTech.com USB-C Cable with Power Delivery (5A) - M/M - 4 m (13 ft.) - USB 2.0 - USB-IF Certified

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £14.98 ex-VAT for a 4m USB‑C to USB‑C cable, this is priced like a “proper backup cable” rather than a premium everyday main lead. StarTech is usually decent on build and consistency, and the key practical win here is the Power Delivery support up to 5A—so it’s more capable than the cheap, slower USB‑C cables that can leave your laptop charging sluggishly (or negotiate awkwardly). If you’ve got a dock setup, want a longer run from a power brick to a laptop, or just need one reliable cable for a meeting room / shared office, this is exactly the kind of cable that saves hassle.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting miracles for video/data performance—USB 2.0 speeds are fine for peripherals (like keyboards, mice, firmware updates, basic devices) but not for anything you’d want to move files quickly. Also, if you’re running genuinely high-power charging, cable quality and connector fit matter—so if your devices are picky or you’ll be bending it around edges, make sure your routing is sensible. Overall: a sensible, trustworthy choice for UK businesses that need a long, PD-capable cable for docking/charging; less attractive if you need fast data transfer or are mainly charging from a very specific high-draw power adapter setup.
