StarTech.com USB-C to USB-C Cable w/ 5A PD - M/M - White - 2 m (6 ft.) - USB 2.0 - USB-IF Certified

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £13.49 ex-VAT on a 2m USB‑C to USB‑C lead, this StarTech cable is a sensible “boring but dependable” choice—especially if you want something you can leave on a desk for charging and general device syncing without thinking about it. The USB‑IF certification and the fact it’s rated for up to 5A PD means it’s less likely to be one of those mystery cables that works… until it doesn’t. In day-to-day UK office use (laptops, docking stations, phone chargers, power banks), that reliability tends to matter more than fancy branding.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it as the cheapest option if you’re doing high-speed data transfers all day long, because it’s positioned as a USB 2.0 cable—so don’t expect “fast file movement” between devices. Also, if you’re trying to push the absolute top end of charging on very power-hungry setups, you’ll want to ensure your charger and device are actually compatible and aligned with the same PD profiles; the cable rating helps, but it’s not a magic override. Overall: good value for power + everyday syncing in a business environment, just don’t expect it to be a speed demon.
