Eaton U420-01M-G25ARA USB-C to USB-C Cable, USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10 Gbps, 100W Power Delivery, Right-Angle Plug, 1m

The Eaton U420-01M-G25ARA is a high-performance USB-C to USB-C cable designed to provide reliable connectivity for modern electronic devices. Measuring 1 meter in length, this cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 standards, enabling rapid data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. It is engineered to handle demanding power requirements, featuring a 5A (100W) power delivery rating that makes it suitable for charging laptops, tablets, and smartphones efficiently. With its Thunderbolt 3 compatibility and a specialized right-angle connector, this cable offers a versatile solution for both professional workstations and home office environments.

Advantages

This cable stands out due to its robust construction and high-speed performance capabilities. The inclusion of a right-angle plug significantly improves usability in tight spaces, preventing cable strain and allowing for a cleaner setup behind desks or against walls. By supporting Power Delivery 3.0, it ensures that high-capacity devices receive the necessary power for fast charging. Furthermore, the reversible USB-C connectors eliminate the frustration of incorrect orientation, ensuring a seamless connection every time. Its compatibility with Thunderbolt 3 devices adds an extra layer of flexibility, making it a future-proof accessory for a wide range of hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops to docking stations
• Fast charging of smartphones, tablets, and high-power laptops
• Data synchronization between external hard drives and computers
• Use in confined spaces where a straight connector would be obstructed

This cable may not be suitable for devices that do not feature a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port. Additionally, while it supports high-speed data transfer, it is not intended for applications requiring video output over long distances or specialized proprietary charging protocols that deviate from standard USB Power Delivery specifications.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Connector type: USB-C male to USB-C male (one right-angle)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbps
• Power delivery: Up to 100W (20V/5A)
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 2
• Compatibility: USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 devices

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one of the reversible USB-C connectors into the port of your host device, such as a laptop or wall charger. Insert the second connector into your peripheral or mobile device. Because the connectors are reversible, they can be plugged in regardless of orientation. For the right-angle connector, ensure it is oriented to minimize cable bending and strain against the device port. Once connected, the cable will automatically negotiate the required power and data transfer speeds supported by your connected hardware.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices are equipped with USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports
• Ensure your power adapter supports the 100W output if you intend to charge high-power laptops
• Check if the 1-meter length is sufficient for your specific workstation layout

Usage recommendations: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or heavy objects resting on the cable. Always disconnect by pulling the connector housing rather than the cable itself to prevent internal wire damage.
