Overview

The Monoprice 138801 Stealth USB-C Charge & Sync Cable is a no-nonsense accessory built to keep your USB-C devices powered and connected. With support for up to 3A/60W of power delivery, it can handle charging duties for smartphones, tablets, and many USB-C laptops from a single cable. The 6-foot length strikes a practical balance—long enough to reach from a desk-mounted charger to your lap, but not so long that excess cable becomes a nuisance. Data syncing runs at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480Mbps), which is perfectly adequate for transferring documents, photos, and general file management.

What sets this cable apart from bargain-bin options is its construction. The nylon-braided jacket resists the tangling and fraying that plagues standard rubber cables, making it a particularly good travel companion. Aluminum-capped connector heads reinforce the points where most cables eventually fail, adding meaningful longevity. The understated black design with a subtle color accent keeps your workspace looking clean while still letting you tell this cable apart from others at a glance. For users who need a reliable USB-C cable for daily charging and syncing without paying a premium, the Monoprice Stealth is a straightforward, well-built choice.

Key Features

Sleek design: Keep your style simple. Using a basic black design with a subtle splash of color, these cables are unobtrusive, while maintaining a bit of color for identification purposes or personal style.

Fast charging: Capable of carrying up to 3 amps/60 watts of charging power, you can quickly charge your USB-C enabled mobile devices and laptops.

Braided jacket: The nylon-braided jacket not only helps protect the cable from nicks and cuts, but also resists tangling, making it the perfect cable for traveling.

Aluminum connectors: The superior structural design of the connectors are capped by aluminum connector heads, resulting in a cable that is much more durable.

Capable of carrying up to 3 amps/60 watts of charging power, you can quickly charge your USB-C enabled mobile devices and laptops.
