When I ordered my new UGREEN charging setup, I also bought a pack of 3 metre USB-C to USB-C 100W cables.
At first, I wondered if they were too long.
Now that I've set everything up, I wouldn't go back to shorter cables.
The Problem with Short Cables
Most charging cables are only 1 metre long. That means you're usually forced to sit next to the wall socket while your device charges.
With a 3 metre cable, I can leave my 100W UGREEN charger on my wall unit and have the cable run neatly behind my chair.
The USB-C connector is tucked into the arm of my chair, ready whenever I need it.
A Permanent Charging Point
One thing I decided straight away was:
This cable is never moving.
People often wonder why charging cables fail. In my opinion, it's usually because they are:
- Walked on.
- Wrapped up and unwrapped every day.
- Pulled in and out of bags.
- Constantly plugged and unplugged.
Leaving the cable in one place avoids most of that wear and tear.
Tested with My Chromebook
I wanted to make sure the cable wasn't just long—it also had to work properly.
I tested it with my Chromebook, and it negotiated full USB Power Delivery with no "low-power charger" warning.
That confirmed the cable supports the charging speeds I wanted.
Worth the Extra Length?
For me, absolutely.
The cable now reaches exactly where I sit without trailing across the room, and I can comfortably use my Chromebook or charge my phone without rearranging furniture.
Sometimes paying a little extra for a longer cable makes everyday life much easier.
If you're looking for a good-quality 3 metre 100W USB-C to USB-C cable, this is the one I'm using:
