Data Cables

USB-C data cables are best suited for data connections between a USB-C device and another USB device. Check your devices to see if they both support USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) or USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps). They can also be used to charge, but do so at the same rate as cheaper USB 2.0 cables.

USB-C to USB-C 3.1 – For data transfers between two USB-C devices

Both devices must support USB 3.1 to take advantage of the cable’s faster transfer rate.
