UGREEN USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 Cable (100W 4K@60Hz) Overview
The UGREEN USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 Cable (model 80151 or similar variants), available since 2023, is a robust, braided USB-C to USB-C cable optimized for mid-range performance in charging, data syncing, and video output. At 1m (or available in 1.5m/2m lengths), it’s tailored for everyday use with laptops, smartphones, and monitors, supporting up to 100W power delivery for fast charging while enabling 4K@60Hz video transmission via DisplayPort Alt Mode. Unlike higher-spec models, this Gen 1 version caps data at 5Gbps, making it a cost-effective choice for users who prioritize charging and basic connectivity over ultra-fast transfers. Its durable construction, including nickel-plated aluminum shells and multi-layer shielding, ensures reliability in home, office, or travel scenarios.
