Overview

The Monoprice Palette Series USB-C to USB-C 2.0 Cable (model 114987) is a compact 3-foot cable designed for everyday connectivity between USB-C devices. With a male USB Type-C connector on each end, it handles the basics well — syncing data at up to 480Mbps and delivering up to 5 VDC at 3A of charging power. The reversible connector design means you never have to worry about plugging it in the wrong way, which is one of the key advantages USB-C holds over older connector types.

What sets this cable apart from generic options is its braided nylon jacket, part of Monoprice's Palette Series line. The braided construction provides genuine resistance to tangling and physical damage from nicks and cuts, giving it a longer useful life than cables with standard plastic insulation. The red color adds a visual accent that also makes it easy to identify among a collection of cables. At 3 feet in length, it is best suited for connecting nearby devices — a laptop to a phone on the same desk, for instance — rather than spanning longer distances.

Key Features

Stay Connected: Featuring a male USB Type-C connector on each end, this USB 2.0 cable is ideal for connecting devices with a Type-C connector to newer laptops with the Type-C connector.

Reversible Design: The reversible Type-C connector is always properly oriented, eliminating a common source of frustration from trying to plug in improperly oriented Type-A connectors.

Versatility: Connect new Type-C devices to new systems with USB-C ports, with 5 VDC, 2.4A of power and 480Mbps data transfer speeds.

Tangle Resistant Braided Nylon Jacket: The braided nylon jacket of the Palette Series protects the cable from nicks and cuts and resists tangling, saving you the time and frustration with ordinary cables.
