UGREEN 60W USB-C 5Gbps Cable with 4K Video, 1.5m (50751)
Overview
UGREEN 50751 is a 1.5m USB-C male-to-male cable that combines three functions supported by modern USB-C equipment: Power Delivery charging, USB data and DisplayPort Alt Mode video. It is designed for customers who need more than a basic charging lead but do not require USB4 or Thunderbolt-class bandwidth.
What it does well.
Key features
At a glance
One cable, three distinct USB-C jobs.
Charging path. Connect a compatible USB-C PD charger to a compatible phone, tablet or laptop. The negotiated output is limited to 60W and 3A.
Data path. Move files between USB-C hosts and peripherals at up to 5Gbps. Actual throughput depends on both ports, the device and storage speed.
Video path. Carry video to a USB-C display or USB-C video adapter only when the source port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
Physical build. USB-C male connectors use nickel-plated contacts and aluminium connector housings in the exact 1.5m grey model.
Up to 60W charging—when every part of the power chain agrees
Power delivery
The cable is rated for USB Power Delivery charging up to 20V/3A, or 60W. That is suitable for many USB-C phones, tablets and notebooks whose charging requirement falls within this ceiling.
- Use a charger with enough rated output for the device you want to charge.
- A device that requires more than 60W may charge more slowly or may not maintain charge during heavy use.
USB 3.1 Gen 1 bandwidth for practical file and peripheral work
Data transfer
Model 50751 supports a signalling rate up to 5Gbps, making it useful for external SSDs, compatible hubs, phones, tablets and computers that also expose a 5Gbps USB data connection.
- A USB 2.0 port or peripheral will operate at its lower supported rate.
- Charging-only USB-C ports do not gain data capability from this cable.
4K@60Hz is available only through a video-capable USB-C path
Display connection
UGREEN lists video up to 4K at 60Hz for this model. The source USB-C port must output DisplayPort Alt Mode, and the display or adapter, operating system and selected resolution must support the requested mode.
- Connect directly where possible while diagnosing a blank or unstable display.
- Select a supported resolution and refresh rate in the operating system.
Use scenarios
Real-world applications
Where model 50751 fits naturally.
USB-C laptop charging. Pair a USB-C PD charger with a compatible notebook that accepts no more than the cable's 60W ceiling for office, hotel or commuting use.
External storage. Connect a 5Gbps USB-C SSD or enclosure to a computer for backups and project files, with the actual rate set by the slower device.
USB-C monitor. Link a DisplayPort Alt Mode source to a compatible USB-C display for video up to the listed 4K@60Hz mode.
Compatible devices and systems
Device and system fit
Match the connector and the required USB-C feature.
USB-C phones and tablets. Compatible for charging and data when the mobile device exposes those functions; video requires that the device specifically supports USB-C display output.
USB-C laptops. Works with notebooks using USB-C PD charging up to 60W and with USB-C data/video ports according to the laptop's own specification.
USB-C storage and hubs. Suitable for compatible 5Gbps peripherals. A hub's downstream ports, display features and power needs remain governed by that hub and the host.
Setup and usability guidance
Connection workflow
Connect the right ports for the job.
- Inspect both USB-C ports and the cable plugs; do not connect if a plug is bent, contaminated, wet or damaged.
- For charging, connect the cable between a compliant USB-C PD charger and the device's USB-C charging port.
- For data, connect a USB-C host data port to the peripheral and wait for the operating system to recognise it.
- For video, confirm DisplayPort Alt Mode on the source first, then connect the source directly to the compatible USB-C display path.
- If a function does not work, test the cable with one known-compatible device and remove docks or adapters from the path.
Understand the three advertised maximums
Realistic performance
The 60W, 5Gbps and 4K@60Hz figures describe separate supported capabilities. They do not mean every USB-C device can use all three, and they do not override the specifications of the charger, host, peripheral or display.
Charging result. Limited by the lowest rating across charger, cable and device. Heavy laptop workloads can consume power faster than a sub-60W charge source supplies it.
File-copy result. Limited by the slower USB interface and storage media; protocol overhead means a file-copy figure will be below the 5Gbps signalling rate.
Display result. Limited by source video capability, display, adapters and settings. A data-only USB-C port produces no picture.
Function scope and boundaries
Function scope and boundaries
- Connect one USB-C male port to another USB-C female port.
- Carry USB Power Delivery charging up to 60W at 20V/3A.
- Carry USB 3.1 Gen 1 data at a signalling rate up to 5Gbps.
- It does not turn a charging-only or data-only USB-C port into a video output.
- It does not provide USB4 or Thunderbolt bandwidth or certification.
- It does not support a 100W or 240W claim; the verified ceiling is 60W.
Check before buying
Important limitations
Confirm these points before buying or connecting model 50751:
- Both ends are USB-C male; confirm that both devices have USB-C female ports.
- For laptop charging, confirm the laptop accepts USB-C PD and that 60W meets its practical power requirement.
- For 5Gbps data, confirm both USB-C ports and the peripheral support USB 3.x data rather than USB 2.0 only.
- For display use, confirm the source port explicitly supports DisplayPort Alt Mode or USB-C video output.
Good practice
Good practice
- Use certified chargers and devices whose ratings fall within the 60W/3A cable limit.
- Keep connectors clean, dry and fully inserted.
- Troubleshoot charging, data and video as separate functions.
- Do not assume every USB-C port provides charging, data and video.
- Do not use the cable if the jacket, plug or port shows heat damage or deformation.
- Do not sharply bend, twist, crush or pull the cable by its jacket.
Warnings and limitations
Safe operation
Warning 1. Stop using the cable if a connector becomes unusually hot, loose, discoloured or damaged. Disconnect power before inspecting it.
Warning 2. Keep the connectors away from liquid, dust and conductive debris. Never insert a wet connector into a powered port.
Warning 3. Video capability is determined by the source USB-C port. A blank display is not proof of a faulty cable until Alt Mode support and settings are verified.

Verified technical details
In the box
A charger, hub, display adapter and external device are not included. This package contains one 1.5m cable.
Questions buyers ask.
Can this cable charge a laptop?
Yes, when the laptop supports USB-C Power Delivery input and its requirement is within the cable's 60W ceiling. A higher-power laptop may charge slowly or lose battery under load.
Does it support 100W charging?
No. Model 50751 is verified for up to 60W at 20V/3A, not 100W or 240W.
Is this only a charging cable?
No. It also supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data up to 5Gbps and compatible USB-C video up to 4K@60Hz.
Will it make any USB-C phone display video?
No. The phone or tablet must already support video output through its USB-C port. The cable cannot add DisplayPort Alt Mode.
Why is my external drive slower than 5Gbps?
5Gbps is the interface signalling ceiling. The drive, enclosure, files, host port and protocol overhead determine real transfer speed.
Can it connect a USB-C laptop to a USB-C monitor?
Yes, if the laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and the monitor accepts USB-C video. The selected resolution must also be supported by the full path.
Does it work with a Thunderbolt port?
A Thunderbolt USB-C port can generally use compatible USB and DP Alt Mode functions, but this cable is not a Thunderbolt cable and does not provide Thunderbolt bandwidth.
Is an E-marker required for this cable?
The verified maximum is 3A/60W, so this listing does not rely on a 5A E-marker claim. Do not use it as a 100W or 240W cable.
What should I check if charging is slow?
Check the charger's output, the device's accepted PD profile, battery state, workload and whether both plugs are fully seated. The lowest-rated component sets the result.
What is included in the box?
One UGREEN 50751 USB-C to USB-C cable in the verified 1.5m length. A charger and other devices are not included.
