Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £12.94 ex-VAT, this is the kind of practical “just works” cable I’d keep in the office or throw in the spares drawer rather than treat as a premium, daily-driver for heavy personal use. StarTech’s USB-IF certification and high-wattage PD/EPR support mean it’s less likely to be the annoying cheap-cable situation where a charger negotiates down or a device refuses to charge properly. The 4m length is genuinely useful in a boardroom, at a bench, or where desks aren’t conveniently placed near power.

That said, I wouldn’t overhype it: it’s a USB 2.0 data cable, so if anyone’s expecting fast transfers, they’ll be disappointed. For pure charging—laptops, USB-C monitors, docks, chargers that support PD/EPR—it’s a sensible buy, especially if you want something consistent across users. If you’re buying for a dedicated desk setup where you’ll constantly bend and tug the cable, I’d still sanity-check your environment (tangle risk, wear points) because long TPE-jacket cables take more abuse than short ones. Overall: solid value for charging and basic data, not the right pick if your priority is throughput.
