StarTech USB315CC2M 2 m USB-C Cable — 5 Gb/s, 60 W
USB-C male-to-male; passive 2 m; 5 Gb/s, 3 A / 60 W, DP Alt Mode. This record is SKU-specific; connector shape alone does not establish protocol or capability.
CLASSIFICATION: Data, peripheral, and high-speed cables. Verify exact SKU and the connected host/peripheral requirements.
SKU-specific interface and capability
| Exact product SKU | StarTech.com USB315CC2M |
|---|---|
| Generation and connector pinout | Reversible 24-contact USB Type-C male at both ends; the model supports USB 5 Gb/s data, USB-PD charging to 3 A, and DisplayPort Alt Mode as listed by StarTech. Pinout summary: USB Type-C reversible 24-contact; USB 5 Gb/s differential lanes and CC orientation/PD control. DP Alt Mode uses negotiated alternate lane assignment on capable devices. |
| Length and construction | 2 m (6.6 ft), passive copper cable. Distinct 2 m SKU; do not assume its length or signal integrity characteristics are those of USB315CC1M. |
| Signaling rate | Up to USB 5 Gb/s (USB 3.2 Gen 1); manufacturer lists DP Alt Mode video up to 4K at 60 Hz, contingent on compatible source/display and supported mode. |
| Power limits | Up to 60 W at 3 A (up to 20 V for compatible USB-PD negotiation). Not rated for 5 A/100 W or USB-PD 3.1 EPR 240 W; charge rate is limited by all connected equipment. |
| Compatibility limits | USB-C connector fit alone does not promise USB4/Thunderbolt or greater than 5 Gb/s. The longer passive 2 m lead must be treated as this product’s specified assembly; verify the connected endpoints support DP Alt Mode and the desired resolution/refresh. |
Compatibility & handling
- Identify both receptacle types, the exact SKU, protocol generation and direction before connecting; similar-looking USB connectors can carry different pinouts and capabilities.
- Maximum rate and power are ceilings, not guarantees: the full host/cable/peripheral chain must support and negotiate the same mode.
- Do not use the lead to defeat a port’s current limit, connect unlike power pinouts, or assume charging/video support from connector fit.
