Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £16.49 ex-VAT, this looks like a sensible “proper cable” choice if you’ve got USB‑C hardware that actually needs the more serious end of the spec. StarTech’s USB-IF certification and the fact it’s built for high-power USB‑C PD (EPR class) means it’s a better bet than the usual cheap eBay/marketplace leads when you’re charging a modern laptop dock/charger or running high-bandwidth peripherals without babysitting the connection. If you’re setting up a small office desk where reliability matters, a 2m run is also a nice compromise—long enough to reach without turning your setup into cable spaghetti.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you just need a basic phone charger or a “works most of the time” cable. In that case you’re paying for headroom you won’t use, and the extra cost won’t show up in day-to-day value. Also, any fancy video performance (like the high refresh 4K modes) is only as good as the source device, dock, and the rest of your chain—cables are rarely the whole story. Overall: good value for B2B use where you care about dependable USB‑C power and consistent performance, not a no-brainer for low-demand personal charging.
