Is this cable fast enough to charge a laptop?

Yes, it supports up to 100W with PD3.0, which covers most USB-C laptops. The actual speed depends on your charger and laptop agreeing on the same protocol.

Can I use it to transfer files?

Yes, but only at USB 2.0 speed, up to 480 Mbps. That is fine for photos and documents but slow for large video files or drive backups.

What lengths can I set?

It locks at 36cm, 60cm, 82cm and 100cm. The 36cm setting suits a power bank in a pocket; 100cm reaches across a desk.

Does the retractable reel wear out?

UGREEN rates the spring for 5,000+ cycles and the cable for 20,000 bends. Pull it out gently to the next stop rather than yanking past a setting.

Is it cheaper than a plain 100W cable?

At $16.99 at Amazon as of November 6, 2026, it costs more than many fixed-length 100W cables. You pay extra for the retracting mechanism and adjustable length.

The cable itself, in black. No charger or adapter is included, so you need your own USB-C power source.

Our take on the UGREEN 100W Retractable USB-C Cable

The UGREEN 100W Retractable USB-C Cable is a charging cable that pulls out to four set lengths (36cm, 60cm, 82cm, 100cm) and retracts into a compact reel. It carries up to 100W over USB-C with PD3.0 and QC3.0 support, so it can fast-charge laptops and phones. Data transfer is limited to USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps. At $16.99 at Amazon as of November 6, 2026, it is the only new price we have on record, so there is no recent range to compare it against.
