UGREEN USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C Cable — Nickel Plating, Aluminium Shell, 1.5m Gray (Model 50751 / US161)
The UGREEN US161 is a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C to Type-C cable that handles charging, high-speed data transfer, and 4K video output through a single connection. At 1.5 metres, it suits desk setups where a short cable would create tension and a longer cable would produce excess slack. It targets users with modern USB-C laptops, tablets, and smartphones who need a durable, multi-function cable that works across charging, syncing, and display scenarios.

Use Cases and Applications
Single-cable laptop-to-monitor connection
For users with a USB-C laptop and a 4K display that accepts USB-C or DisplayPort input, the US161 carries video, data, and charging through one cable. This reduces desk clutter significantly compared to running separate display, data, and charging cables. The 1.5-metre length gives enough reach for most desk arrangements without excess slack. Note that both the laptop and the monitor must support DP Alt Mode for video output to function.
Charging tablets and smartphones at a desk
At 60W, the cable delivers sufficient power for iPad Pro, Galaxy Tab S-series, and most Android smartphones when connected to a compatible USB-C PD charger. Users who already have a 60W or higher GaN charger can use this cable instead of the shorter cable typically included with a device, gaining more reach without compromising charge speed.
Fast file transfers between USB-C devices
Content creators, photographers, and IT professionals regularly transfer large volumes of data between laptops, external SSDs, and cameras. At 5Gbps, a 10GB folder of RAW files transfers in approximately 16 seconds, compared to around 3 minutes over USB 2.0. The 1.5-metre length also provides comfortable reach between a laptop and a drive placed to the side of a desk.
Travel and multi-device carry
A single USB-C cable that handles charging, data, and video reduces the number of cables needed in a travel kit. The nickel-plated connectors and reinforced strain relief make the US161 more durable than thinner PVC charging-only cables that are prone to fraying at the connector end after regular packing and unpacking.
