UGREEN 45065 3m Braided USB-C Cable, 100W, 480Mbps
Overview
UGREEN 45065 is a extra-long braided 100W charging and USB 2.0 data cable in the 3m configuration. Its ceiling is Up to 100W (20V/5A) for charging and Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0) for data; no video output or monitor extension.
What it does well.
Charging explained without the guesswork
Maximum: Up to 100W (20V/5A).
Negotiation: USB Power Delivery 3.0 and PPS-compatible charging when charger and device support the negotiated profile.
The cable does not push maximum power into a device. USB Power Delivery negotiation lets the charger and device select a supported voltage/current combination. Battery state, temperature and system load can change the observed rate during a session.
For full rated power: use a charger port rated for at least the required wattage, avoid multi-port power sharing during the test, and confirm the device accepts that input level.
Key features
Data ceiling. Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0). Marketing file-transfer examples are laboratory illustrations; storage and host speeds determine real results.
Video capability. No video output or monitor extension. A monitor may fit physically yet receive no signal.
Backward compatibility. When a faster host meets a slower cable or peripheral, the link normally falls back to the common supported mode; it does not upgrade the slower device.
The USB-C shape trap. USB-C describes the connector, not a single feature set. Charging power, USB speed, DisplayPort Alt Mode and Thunderbolt certification must be checked separately.
Use scenarios
Desk charging. Use the 3m reach between a suitable USB-C charger and compatible laptop, tablet or phone.
Power-bank kit. Connect compatible USB-C power banks in the supported direction; check which power-bank port is input/output and its wattage.
File sync. Move ordinary files at up to Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0) when both connected devices expose a compatible USB data mode.
Charging-first travel. A practical travel lead for charging and basic data; pack a separate full-feature video cable if presenting from USB-C.
Setup and usability guidance
- Step 1: Check the required job before connecting: charging only, ordinary USB 2.0 sync, high-speed storage, display, dock or eGPU.
- Step 2: Confirm both endpoints are USB-C and that 3m is the intended length. Similar family products can have different capabilities.
- Step 3: For charging, use a suitable USB-C power adapter and a device that supports the required USB Power Delivery profile. Maximum for this cable is Up to 100W (20V/5A).
- Step 4: For data, connect directly and verify the host reports the expected class. This model is rated Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0).
- Step 5: Do not troubleshoot a monitor with this cable: this SKU has no display path.
- Step 6: Insert straight and fully. Route a relaxed loop, keep plugs dry and disconnect by the housing rather than the cable.
Compatible devices and systems
Compatibility class: USB-C laptops, tablets, phones, power banks, Steam Deck, Switch and USB-C accessories that use USB 2.0 data; 3m reach is useful where charger placement is distant.
Phones and tablets. USB-C iPhone models, compatible Galaxy/Pixel phones, iPad USB-C models and Android tablets can use the functions their ports support. Lightning models need another cable.
Laptops. MacBook, Windows, Chromebook and other USB-C laptops can charge only up to the charger/device/cable common limit; data/display capability varies by port.
Handhelds and accessories. Steam Deck, Switch, power banks, cameras and controllers may charge or sync when their manuals permit USB-C-to-USB-C operation.
Docks, displays and storage. This SKU is not intended as a dock-to-display or high-speed storage cable; choose a full-feature USB4/Thunderbolt cable.
What this product does
- Connects two compatible USB-C ports with the 3m model.
- Carries negotiated charging up to Up to 100W (20V/5A).
- Carries data up to Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0) on compatible equipment.
- No video output or monitor extension.
- Provides the physical build: Double-braided nylon cable, aluminium-alloy housings, laser-welded connector structure, long strain relief and E-Marker chip.
What this product does not do
- not for video, Thunderbolt, USB4, 5Gbps/10Gbps data or a high-refresh monitor; not a USB-A cable; 100W is a ceiling, not forced output.
- It does not include a charger or raise a charger/device above its own designed limit.
- It does not guarantee a named charge time, file-copy time or display mode under every battery, thermal, storage and operating-system condition.
- It does not repair a damaged device port, worn battery or unstable charger.
- It does not prove compatibility from connector shape alone; the device and source must support the intended function.
What to do
Match SKU and length. Order SKU 45065, 3m. Similar UGREEN variants may differ in power, speed, display and LED features.
Check the full chain. Verify charger port, host port, dock/adapter, peripheral and display specifications—not just the cable headline.
Leave connector slack. Use a gentle service loop so device sockets do not carry the cable weight or repeated side force.
Test directly first. Remove hubs and adapters when diagnosing. Confirm basic charging/data/display directly, then rebuild the system one component at a time.
What not to do
Do not force a plug. Stop if a case, debris or misalignment prevents full insertion. Clean only with devices powered down.
Do not knot or crush. Do not trap the lead under chair wheels, doors or furniture, and do not wind it tightly around a charger.
Do not use when wet. Keep ports and connectors dry. Disconnect damaged, hot, corroded or discoloured equipment and have it checked.
Do not rely on a headline alone. A maximum wattage or resolution is conditional. Confirm the profile, interface and complete route.
Warnings and limitations
Heat: mild warmth can occur during high-power charging; stop use if a plug or cable becomes abnormally hot, smells burnt, arcs or shows damage.
Charging: Up to 100W (20V/5A) is a maximum rating, not a promise that a device will request it. Multi-port chargers can lower output when other ports are used.
Data/display: Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0); no video output or monitor extension. Real performance depends on every component.
How to choose the right UGREEN USB-C cable
Charging only / basic sync. Choose a 480Mbps model whose wattage meets the device. 45065 is Up to 100W (20V/5A) and Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0).
Fast SSD or dock. Choose 5Gbps, 10Gbps, 20Gbps, 40Gbps or 80Gbps only when both host and peripheral can use it.
External monitor. Choose a cable that explicitly supports video and the required resolution/refresh; many charging cables do not.
High-power laptop. Match the laptop’s requested wattage. 5A cables need compliant E-Marker electronics; 240W requires USB PD 3.1 equipment.
Troubleshooting
No charging. Check charger power, correct port, device USB-C charging support, connector seating and debris. Test without a dock or adapter.
Charging is slow. Use one charger port, verify the PD profile and watch for device heat, high workload or battery-health settings that reduce charge rate.
No data. Some charger ports are power-only. Try a known data-capable host port, confirm device mode/unlock state and test a different peripheral.
No display. Expected for this SKU: it has no video output. Use a full-feature video-capable cable.
Connection drops. Remove strain, hubs and adapters; reseat straight; update host/dock firmware; and test each component separately to find the failing link.
Unexpected warmth. Stop high-power use, inspect for damage and retry with certified compatible charger/device equipment in a ventilated area.
Final compatibility check
Match SKU 45065, 3m, Up to 100W (20V/5A), Up to 480Mbps (USB 2.0) and No video output or monitor extension. Check every charger, port, dock and destination in the route before ordering.
