ACT USB 3.0 10GBPS 60W USB Type-C Cable 5 Meters

ACT USB 3.0 10GBPS 60W USB Type-C Cable 5 Meters | More reach for USB Type-C setups

A cable that falls short can dictate where your equipment has to sit. The ACT USB 3.0 10GBPS 60W USB Type-C Cable gives you a five-metre connection for setups that need more room between USB Type-C points. Its stated data rate is 10Gbps and its power rating is 60W, giving you two clear figures to compare with your requirements. It’s best suited to situations where the cable route, rather than the equipment itself, is the sticking point: perhaps your devices sit far apart on a desk, or you need a connection to reach across a room. Those are planning examples, not a promise about a particular device combination; suitability depends on what you’re connecting. One honest point: a long cable can be awkward to route neatly. Measure the path and allow a little slack before choosing it. If the distance and ratings suit your setup, this is a straightforward cable to consider.

Planning your cable route

Before buying, think about where the connection starts and ends, then measure the actual route between them. Going around furniture or along a wall can take more cable than measuring in a straight line, and leaving some slack can make placement less fiddly. It’s also worth comparing the cable’s stated figures with the needs of the devices you plan to connect, rather than choosing by length alone. This gives you a simple way to decide whether this cable fits your setup: consider the route, the connection type and the power and data requirements together. If the path is especially long or complicated, sketching it out first may save you from discovering that your chosen cable doesn’t reach comfortably.
