ACT USB 3.0 10GBPS 60W USB-C (Straight) To USB-C (Up/Down Angled) 1M

ACT USB 3.0 10GBPS 60W USB-C (Straight) To USB-C (Up/Down Angled) 1M | Angled routing in a one-metre cable

The useful difference here is the connector layout: one USB-C end is straight, while the other is angled up or down. That can make the cable easier to route when a straight plug would stick out awkwardly from a device. It suits anyone who needs a USB-C-to-USB-C connection and wants that change in direction at one end, rather than a straight plug at both ends. The cable is one metre long, with a stated data rate of 10Gbps and a power rating of 60W. Those figures make it a practical option when both data and power are part of the connection you need. The honest point to keep in mind is the length: one metre gives you a defined reach, so it’s best when your devices can sit fairly close together. The angled end is the reason to pick this particular layout.

Choosing the connector layout

Think about where the cable will leave the device. The straight USB-C plug goes at one end; the angled USB-C plug at the other changes the direction the cable takes as it exits. That may help keep the connection neater in a tight spot, though the result depends on how your devices are positioned. The up/down angle is part of the product’s connector description, so check that its orientation suits the way you plan to route the cable. With one metre between the ends, this is a considered short-reach option rather than a long run across a desk or room. If that matches your setup, the combination of a straight and angled end is the main reason to choose it.
