HAMA USB-C E-Marker chip USB 3.2 Gen1, 5 Gbit/s, 240 W, 1.5 m

HAMA USB-C to USB-C cable with E-Marker chip is a universal black cable from the Essential series, aimed at people who want a single solution for fast charging and stable data transfer. It supports up to 240 W power and 5 Gbit/s transfer speed, making it a good choice for both phones and more demanding devices. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB-C) interface and the built-in E-Marker chip ensure that the cable „talks correctly“ with the charger and the device for proper USB PD 3.1 EPR charging. The length of 1.5 m is a convenient balance between free movement and tidiness on the desk.

What you get

With this cable, you can combine up to 240 W USB PD 3.1 EPR charging with data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s, so you don’t have to keep separate cables for „charging“ and „data“. The built-in E-Marker chip tells the charger and the device that the cable supports up to 5 A and high power, which is crucial for laptops and more powerful devices. Double shielding helps for a more stable signal and less interference, especially if the cable runs alongside other power cables and equipment. The gold-plated connectors improve contact and reduce the risk of oxidation with frequent plugging and unplugging. The universal USB-C to USB-C connection makes it suitable for almost any modern phone, tablet, or laptop, as long as they have a USB-C port.

• Support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 with up to 5 Gbit/s data transfer for fast file copying and backups.
• Maximum power 240 W and current up to 5 A, allowing fast charging of compatible devices via USB PD 3.1 EPR.
• Built-in E-Marker chip for correct communication with the charger and safe use of high power.
• Double shielding of the cable for better protection against electromagnetic interference and a more reliable connection.
• Gold-plated connectors for better contact and greater durability in daily use.
• Practical length of 1.5 m, providing freedom of movement without unnecessary tangling on the desk or nightstand.

Who it is suitable for

The cable is suitable if you are looking for a universal USB-C solution for charging and data transfer for phones, tablets, and laptops. It makes particular sense if you use devices with higher consumption via USB-C and want to take advantage of up to 240 W power. If you need a cable for more extreme lengths or higher than 5 Gbit/s speed, you will need to look for another standard.

The most sensible aspect here is the combination of 240 W power, E-Marker chip, and 5 Gbit/s speed in one well-shielded USB-C cable that you can comfortably use for both everyday phones and more serious equipment.
