Connection logic
How it fits into your setup
A 60W charging cable with USB 2.0 data limits
Connect a USB-C charger or host to a compatible USB-C laptop, tablet, phone or accessory. The cable is rated up to 60W at 20V/3A, while the actual charging level is negotiated by the charger and receiving device.
USB Power Delivery 2.0 and compatible Quick Charge operation depend on both endpoints. A device that accepts less power draws less, and a charger with a lower output cannot be raised by changing only the cable.
The data link is USB 2.0 up to 480Mbps and video output is not supported. That makes the cable suitable for charging and routine syncing, but not for high-speed storage, display connections or full-featured USB-C docks.
Real-world workflows
Use scenarios
Use scenario 1
Charge a compatible USB-C laptop that accepts 60W or less from a suitable USB-C charger.
Use scenario 2
Charge phones, tablets, headphones, controllers, power banks and handheld devices at their negotiated rates.
Use scenario 3
Synchronise ordinary files between a USB-C computer and supported phone or tablet.
Use scenario 4
Use the 2m reach where a wall charger or desktop port is farther from the device.
Step-by-step
Setup and usability guidance
Connect the cable between a compatible USB-C charger and device for charging.
Use a charger whose per-port output matches the device requirement up to 60W.
For data, connect a USB-C host to a compatible peripheral and approve access prompts if shown.
If charging is slow, check charger rating, device input limit, power sharing and connector cleanliness.
If data is not detected, confirm both ports support data and test without a dock or extension in the path.
Match the complete system
Compatible devices and systems
Compatibility check 1
Suitable for compatible USB-C MacBook, MateBook, Chromebook, XPS, ThinkPad, iPad, Galaxy, Pixel and other devices that accept USB-C charging or USB 2.0 data.
Compatibility check 2
Fast-charge results require a charger and receiving device that share a supported protocol. A device rated above 60W may charge more slowly or display a low-power message.
Compatibility check 3
Some USB-C ports are charging-only or data-only; check the host and device specifications.
What this product does
- Carries negotiated charging power up to its 60W rating.
- Transfers USB 2.0 data between compatible USB-C devices.
- Provides a 2m connection for everyday charging and synchronisation.
- Works with lower-power devices at the level requested by those devices.
What this product does not do
- It does not support video or monitor extension.
- It does not provide more than 60W or raise the charger’s output.
- It is not USB 3.x, USB4 or Thunderbolt and is not intended for fast SSD transfer.
- It does not add Power Delivery or Quick Charge support to incompatible equipment.
- It does not convert USB-C to USB-A, Lightning or another connector.
Important limitations
Check before buying
Use this checklist to confirm the exact model suits the intended job.
- Confirm 60W is enough for the intended laptop or device under its normal workload.
- Check that both endpoints use USB-C and that the 2m length can be routed without tension.
- Use this model for charging and USB 2.0 data rather than video or USB 3.x storage speed.
- Verify the charger supports the required PD or QC profile; protocol support must exist at both ends.
- A power adapter is not part of the verified package contents.
What to do
- Use compliant USB-C chargers and keep connectors fully inserted.
- Keep ports clean and dry and unplug by holding the connector housing.
- Store the cable in loose coils to protect the conductor and strain relief.
- Choose a separately verified video or high-speed data cable for those applications.
What not to do
- Do not expect a device requiring more than 60W to receive its full rated input.
- Do not use the cable for a USB-C monitor, video dock or Thunderbolt accessory.
- Do not pull by the cord, crush it under furniture or bend tightly at the plug.
- Do not continue using a cut, loose, wet or abnormally hot cable.
Safe and realistic operation
Warnings and limitations
Warning 1
60W is the cable maximum; actual charging is limited by the charger, device and selected port.
Warning 2
USB 2.0 data is capped at a stated 480Mbps and real file transfer is lower.
Warning 3
Compatibility lists are examples, not a guarantee for every revision of a named device.
Warning 4
A charging connection can work even when data does not, and a data connection can work without fast charging; verify each required function.
Practical first checks
Troubleshooting guide
| If you notice | Check this first |
|---|---|
| Device charges slowly | Verify the charger output, selected port and device charging profile. A 60W-rated cable cannot compensate for an underpowered charger. |
| Laptop loses battery during intensive work | The workload may exceed the negotiated charging input. Use a charger and cable combination that meets the laptop manufacturer’s requirement. |
| External drive transfer is slow | The cable is limited to USB 2.0 at 480Mbps. Select a USB 3.x-rated cable for high-speed storage. |
| USB-C display remains blank | Video output is not supported by model 10306. Use a display-capable USB-C or Thunderbolt cable for monitor connections. |
| Connection is intermittent | Reseat both plugs, try another port and remove strain from the connectors. Stop using the cable if the jacket or plug housing is damaged. |

Helpful answers
Product-specific FAQ
Can it charge a laptop?
Yes, when the laptop accepts USB-C charging at 60W or less and the charger provides a compatible output. Higher-power laptops may charge slowly.
Does it support 100W charging?
No. This model is rated up to 60W, 20V/3A.
Can it connect a laptop to a monitor?
No. It does not support video output or DisplayPort Alt Mode.
What is the data speed?
Up to 480Mbps under USB 2.0, subject to host, device and protocol overhead.
Does it require a driver?
The cable itself does not. A connected phone, tablet or peripheral may require operating-system permission or its own software.
Why is fast charging not active?
Check that charger and device share a supported PD or QC mode, that the charger port has enough output and that no other port is reducing available power.
Can I use it with a lower-power phone?
Yes. Compatible devices negotiate only the supported current and voltage; the cable does not push 60W continuously.
Does cable direction matter?
No for ordinary USB-C charging and USB 2.0 data. Both ends are USB-C male and compatible equipment negotiates the connection.
Can it safely charge a phone that needs less than 60W?
Yes, when the charger and phone are compatible. The device negotiates the power it accepts; the cable’s 60W value is a maximum rather than a forced output.
Can it connect a USB-C dock to a monitor?
It is not a full-featured display cable and does not support video. Use the dock and monitor cable types specified by their manufacturers.
Is a USB-C charger included?
No charger is confirmed in the package. The verified item is the 2m USB-C to USB-C cable.
