What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about data rate: its details field says "480 Bits Per Second", while the feature text claims 480 Mbps. The 240W rating and stated 5 Amps and 48 Volts also appear together without clarifying operating conditions. Treat these as listing claims and check the intended device and charger requirements before relying on a particular charging or data rate.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People who want a USB-C charging lead that coils neatly for storage or car use.
Buyers seeking a short USB-C to USB-C cable for supported phones, tablets or laptops.

Less suited to

Anyone needing USB-C video output to a monitor or TV.
Buyers who need a cable longer than 1 m or depend on a confirmed data-transfer rate.
