| Connector type | USB-C to USB-C | USB-C to USB-C | USB-C to USB-C | USB-C to USB-C | USB-C to USB-C | USB-C to USB-C | All cables ensure basic physical compatibility with modern USB-C ports. |
| Cable length | 2 meters | 4 meters | 1 meter | Not specified | 1.8 meters | Not specified | Length determines reach: the 4-meter ShiverPeaks offers extended placement freedom, while the 1-meter StarTech minimizes desk clutter. |
| Application | Charging and data transfer | Charging up to 240W, USB 3.2 | Charging and syncing | Charging and data transfer | Charging and file transfer | For M.2 NVMe/SATA SSDs | Most cables are general-purpose, whereas the UGREEN D320 is specialized for external storage drives. |
| Special features | Gray color, durable build | Orange color, high power | Black color, standard design | Magnetic shielding | Black color, standard build | High-speed data for SSDs | Advanced features like magnetic shielding on MONROE or high wattage on ShiverPeaks expand specific use scenarios. |
◎ An evaluation of usage scenarios and buyer suitability is presented in the following table.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Everyday device charging at home or in the office | UGREEN L705 | The balanced 2-meter length and practical gray finish provide convenient reach for daily tasks. |
| Powering high-performance laptops at a distance | ShiverPeaks USB 3.2 | The extended 4-meter length and 240W power support suit demanding workstations. |
| Compact desktop accessory connection | StarTech | The short 1-meter length prevents tangled wires on a crowded desk. |
| Working with external solid-state drives | UGREEN D320 | Engineered specifically for high-speed file transfers with M.2 NVMe and SATA storage. |
The UGREEN L705 cable offers a well-rounded solution with a standard 2-meter length for daily charging and synchronization across phones, tablets, and laptops. Compared to the alternatives, it provides broader general utility than the storage-focused UGREEN D320, greater reach than the short StarTech option, and straightforward usability without the specialized heavy-duty specifications of the ShiverPeaks model. It is best suited for everyday users looking for a reliable, no-fuss connection for standard mobile devices.
