Cloud Backup vs Local Backup: Which Does Your Business Need?

£26.42 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £22 ex-VAT, this is one of those “use it every day” USB‑C cables that tends to pay for itself if you actually need a **right‑angled connector** and **power + video in one go**. The right angle is genuinely practical for docks, monitors, and tight server racks where straight cables always end up getting bent, stressed, or blocking the adjacent port. If you’ve got a laptop dock setup and you want a single cable experience (charging plus DP Alt Mode video), StarTech is a safe bet—these are usually built with better strain relief and consistency than the £5–£10 throwaway options.
I’d recommend it for office and light IT rack use: managers working from docks, desktop replacements, shared meeting-room rigs, or anyone standardising a fleet on USB‑C docking. That said, if you only need charging (no display) or your setup is loose and cable runs are short, you’re probably overpaying—there are cheaper cables that will do the job. Also double-check your source/display expectations (especially if you’re chaining docks or expecting higher-refresh/odd monitor resolutions), because not every USB‑C port behaves identically across older laptops.
