£16.19 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
For £13.61 ex-VAT, a 4m USB‑C to USB‑C lead is in a sensible “use it every day without drama” price bracket. StarTech’s the kind of brand I trust for boring reliability, and the USB‑IF certification + 5A PD claim is exactly what you want if you’re charging laptops/phones at a desk (or running power across a rack/cable run where you don’t want to fiddle). The white finish is also nice in office setups where cables inevitably end up visible—less “industrial loom” energy.
That said, I’d only recommend this if you actually need the length. Four metres is fantastic for cable management, but it’s also where you can get disappointed if you were expecting high-speed USB data performance—long passive USB-C cables tend to be more about charging/power than bulk transfers. Also, if you’re planning to use it for video docking or “everything over one cable” scenarios, I’d sanity-check your dock’s requirements; this is a USB 2.0 cable, so data-heavy workflows won’t love it. Overall: good value for powering/charging from a distance in a UK office—just don’t buy it for high-speed data or all-in-one docking expectations.
