The StarTech 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (1 m) supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds to offer up to 10 Gb/s data transfer for the Mac or certain Windows PC's as well as USB Type-C phones, tablets or storage drives. The 1 m / 3 ft USB-C male to male cable should also be able to use USB Power Delivery for pass through charging.

The StarTech 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (1 m) uses the USB logo on its packaging which means that the cable has been USB-IF certified.

Using the GRL DI20 cable tester to test the insertion loss through the StarTech 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (1 m), we can see minor violations of the USB specification limits. The StarTech 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (1 m) however has much better overall signal integrity performance when compared to the Hama USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C Cable (1 m) even though they are the same length. The Hama USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C Cable (1 m) has a lot more energy loss at higher frequencies compared to the StarTech 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (1 m)- this means there is less chance of USB compatibility issues especially for higher speed USB link rates like 10 Gb/s.
