Charging speed

Frequently asked questions
Will the USB-C cable charge my phone at 120 W?
Only phones with a matching 120 W fast-charge mode reach that figure with the USB-A version; most phones charge through this USB-C cable at their own normal speed, and the supplier lists some major phone brands as not supported at full power.
What does the display on the USB-C cable show?
The small LED display in the USB-C cable's plug shows the power flowing through it in watts, so you can see how fast a device is charging.
What is the difference between the two cable versions?
The USB-A to USB-C cable is rated 120 W, and the USB-C to USB-C cable is rated 100 W, for laptops and phones charged from a USB-C power adapter.
Can the USB-C cable transfer files?
Yes, the USB-C cable carries data at up to 480 Mbps, enough to move photos and documents between a phone and a computer.
