What it does well.
Short charging cable; no display signal
The half-metre lead is useful when devices sit close together. Its USB-C connectors support charging and USB 2.0 sync, but the cable does not carry monitor video, high-speed USB 3.x data, USB4 or Thunderbolt.
Key features
- Up to 100W USB-C charging at 20V/5A for compatible laptops and other high-power PD devices.
- Integrated E-marker helps compatible chargers and devices recognise the cable's 5A rating.
- Supports PD 3.0, QC 4.0 and FCP charging environments, subject to connected-device compatibility.
- USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbps for normal file sync and accessory connections.
- A 0.5m braided cable reduces excess slack between nearby equipment.
Use scenarios
Connect a laptop to a charger placed directly beside it on a desk or charging shelf.
Link a USB-C power bank to a phone, tablet or handheld console without a long loose cable.
Charge a USB-C device from a hub or dock that provides a compatible PD output.
Transfer routine files between two nearby USB-C devices at USB 2.0 speed.
Setup and usability guidance
Measure the intended path first; 0.5m is deliberately short and may not reach a floor outlet from a desktop. Leave enough slack for both connector housings so neither port carries cable tension.
Connect to a compatible USB-C charger and device, then let them negotiate the charging profile automatically.
For 100W operation, the source and receiving device must support 100W PD; a lower-rated component reduces the result.
For data, use a USB-C computer port that supports data and approve any device access prompt.
Remove by gripping the plug housing and store in a loose curve rather than folding the cable tightly.
Compatible devices and systems
- Works with compatible USB-C PD laptops, tablets, phones, handheld consoles and power banks within the available charging profile.
- Can be used with lower-power USB-C products because compliant devices request only the power they accept.
- USB 2.0 data operation requires data-capable ports at both ends.
- It is not compatible with Lightning-only ports or USB-A ports without a separate adapter, and adapters may change capabilities.
How real-world performance is decided
Advertised maximums describe what the product can support under a compatible setup; they are not a promise of constant power or speed. The connected source, cable or adapter, receiving device, active ports, software, battery state and temperature can each set a lower operating limit.
For this exact model, the practical starting point is: 0.5m compact length ā¢ 100W / 20V 5A ā¢ PD 3.0 & E-marker ā¢ 480Mbps USB 2.0. Confirm the required connector and use the verified specifications below when planning the complete signal or charging path.
Check before buying

Questions buyers ask.
How long is SKU 35985?
It is 0.5 metre / 1.6 feet. Other lengths in the same UGREEN family use different SKUs.
Can it charge a 100W laptop?
Yes, if the laptop and USB-C PD charger support a compatible 100W profile. Actual input is controlled by the laptop and source.
Is the cable suitable for a power bank?
Yes. Its short length is convenient between a USB-C power bank and a nearby device, provided the ports support the required input or output direction.
Does it support monitor video?
No. This model is charging plus USB 2.0 data only; it does not carry DisplayPort Alt Mode video.
What is the maximum data speed?
The supported USB 2.0 maximum is 480Mbps. Real transfers can be slower depending on the connected devices.
Why is an E-marker important?
It communicates the cable's supported 5A capability to compliant USB-C power equipment during power negotiation.
Can it be used with a 30W phone charger?
Yes. The cable can carry lower negotiated power; the charger and phone will set their shared supported rate.
Does it support USB4 or Thunderbolt?
No. Choose a certified USB4 or Thunderbolt cable when high-speed data, PCIe tunnelling or display support is required.
Is a charger included?
No. The verified package item is the 0.5m cable only.
What if half a metre is too short?
Do not run it under tension or join questionable extenders. Choose the separately identified 1m, 2m or 3m family SKU that fits the installation.
