USB-C to USB-C cable MediaRange MRCS245 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) 2 m 5 Gbit/s 60 W Black

MediaRange MRCS245 is a 2 m USB-C to USB-C cable designed for combined data transfer and power delivery. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum data rate of 5 Gbit/s and power delivery up to 60 W. The cable has gold-plated contacts to improve connectivity and resistance to corrosion, and its black finish suits a wide range of devices and work environments.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed data synchronization and charging in a single USB-C to USB-C connection. Gold-plated connector contacts help maintain stable electrical contact and reduce oxidation over time. The 2 m length offers flexibility for desktop and mobile setups without excessive slack, and the cable is plug-and-play with common operating systems.

Suitable for

• Transferring large files between laptops, tablets and smartphones at up to 5 Gbit/s
• Charging USB-C laptops, tablets and phones that accept up to 60 W power delivery
• Extending the reach of existing USB-C chargers, power banks and docks
• Everyday data sync and charging in home, office and mobile environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and power delivery up to 60 W; it is not suitable when devices require higher transfer rates (such as USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 3/4) or higher power delivery (for example, some high-performance laptops that need more than 60 W). It also does not provide video capabilities beyond what is supported by USB-C alternate modes unless the connected devices explicitly support display over USB-C.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-C to USB-C
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: 5 Gbit/s
• Power delivery: up to 60 W
• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the USB-C plug to the host device (charger, laptop or power bank) and the USB-C socket to the target device (phone, tablet or laptop) to enable data transfer and charging. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional drivers for standard file transfer and power delivery operations. For optimal charging, ensure the power source and the receiving device both support the negotiated power profile up to 60 W.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your devices support USB-C power delivery and the required power level (up to 60 W).
• Confirm that 5 Gbit/s transfer speed meets your data throughput needs; for faster rates, look for higher-spec cables or interfaces.
• Check whether your use case requires video over USB-C; verify alternate mode support on your devices if needed.

Recommendations

Use the cable for everyday charging and data sync between modern USB-C devices. To maintain connector condition, avoid excessive bending at the ends and store the cable loosely coiled. When pairing with high-power chargers, verify that both charger and device negotiate power delivery correctly before prolonged use.
