UGREEN 60128 Type C Cable 2M Review: A Deep Dive

The UGREEN 60128 2-meter USB A to USB C cable has been my daily driver for several weeks now, and I’ve put it through its paces with various devices. This review will delve into its performance, durability, and overall value, offering a balanced perspective on its strengths and weaknesses.

This cable boasts a nylon braided exterior, gold-plated connectors, and a premium aluminum alloy casing, all promising increased durability compared to standard cables. The specifications claim a 10,000+ bend test cycle, which I haven’t personally verified, but the cable certainly feels robust in hand. It supports fast charging protocols like QC 3.0, Quick Charge 2.0, Samsung AFC, and Huawei FCP, which is a major selling point. The stated 3A fast charging capability was indeed achieved during my testing.

I tested the UGREEN 60128 with various devices, including my Samsung Galaxy S21, iPad Pro, and a MacBook Pro. Fast charging was consistently achieved on my Samsung phone, reaching speeds comparable to the original cable. Data transfer speeds were also satisfactory, with no noticeable lag or interruption during file transfers. The cable’s length is perfect for reaching across a desk or bedside table. The snug fit of the USB-C connector into various devices is a welcomed feature. I have experienced no disconnections or charging inconsistencies during extended usage.

However, there were some minor issues. Although not significant, the cable is slightly stiffer than some other braided cables I’ve used which may be a minor inconvenience to some.

  • Good length (2 meters)
  • Snug fit USB-C connector

While the slightly stiffer feel may be a minor drawback for some, it doesn’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would confidently recommend this cable to anyone needing a durable and efficient USB C charging solution.
