It also supports USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbps.

100W USB-C PD Fast Charging

The Mcdodo CA-5580 supports up to 100W maximum charging power with a 5A current rating. When connected to a compatible USB-C Power Delivery charger and a device that supports the required power profile, it can deliver high-power charging for suitable electronics.This makes it a useful cable for compatible USB-C laptops, tablets and smartphones. Whether you are charging a laptop at your workstation or powering a phone with a suitable PD adapter, the CA-5580 offers one cable for different USB-C charging needs.Charging note: The 100W rating is the maximum supported power, not a guaranteed charging speed for every device. The charger, cable and connected device must all support the required voltage, current and charging protocol. A device that accepts 30W, 45W or 65W will draw power according to its own charging capability.

Key Features of Mcdodo CA-5580

E-Marker Chip for 5A High-Power Charging

High-power USB-C charging requires the cable to communicate its supported electrical capabilities to compatible charging equipment. The Mcdodo CA-5580 includes a built-in E-Marker chip for this purpose.The E-Marker communicates supported cable capabilities, including the 5A current rating, to compatible USB-C devices and chargers. This helps the charging system determine whether the cable is suitable for the requested power level.For the advertised 100W output, use a compatible 100W USB-C PD charger and a device capable of accepting the required power. The cable alone cannot increase a device's maximum charging speed.

Transparent Connector Housing with Dual-Sided LED

One of the most distinctive features of the CA-5580 is its semi-transparent connector housing. The casing provides a technology-inspired appearance by allowing parts of the internal connector design to remain visible.Integrated LED lighting on both sides adds a visual detail when the cable is in use. It also helps you locate the connector area in darker environments, such as a bedside table or dim office workspace.The LED is a lighting indicator, not a digital charging display. It should not be described as showing exact charging wattage, current or battery percentage.

1.2-Metre Length for Everyday Convenience

The Mcdodo CA-5580 measures approximately 1.2 metres, offering a practical length for common charging setups. It provides convenient reach for connecting a smartphone, tablet or laptop to a nearby USB-C charger.Use it at a desk, beside your bed, in an office or while travelling. Its manageable length also makes it easier to store in a laptop bag or gadget pouch when you are on the move.

Nylon Braiding and Aluminium-Alloy Construction

A charging cable needs to handle repeated connection, movement and storage. The CA-5580 combines a nylon-braided exterior with aluminium-alloy connector components and semi-transparent PC housing elements.The braided exterior gives the cable a textured finish, while the connector housing provides a distinctive appearance around the USB-C plugs. This construction is suitable for everyday handling, although careful use is still important.Avoid sharply bending the cable near the connector, pulling it out by the wire or placing heavy objects on it. Disconnect the cable by holding the connector housing to help reduce unnecessary strain.

USB 2.0 Data Transfer up to 480Mbps

The CA-5580 supports charging and data synchronisation through its USB-C to USB-C connection. Its listed data-transfer speed is up to 480Mbps, based on the USB 2.0 standard.This is suitable for everyday file transfers and compatible data-sync tasks between USB-C devices and computers. However, 480Mbps is not the same as the higher transfer speeds offered by USB 3.x cables.Important: Do not confuse this model with other Mcdodo 100W USB-C cables that support 10Gbps data transfer or 4K video output. The CA-5580 specifications identify USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbps. If you need a cable for an external display or high-speed storage, choose a model that explicitly supports those functions.

Compatibility with USB-C Devices

The Mcdodo CA-5580 uses USB-C male connectors at both ends, making it suitable for compatible USB-C charging equipment and devices.

• USB-C laptops: Compatible MacBook and Windows laptops that support USB-C charging and the required PD power profile.
• USB-C smartphones: Compatible Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Xiaomi and other USB-C smartphones.
• USB-C tablets: Compatible tablets that support charging through USB-C.
• USB-C accessories: Supported gadgets and accessories that accept USB-C charging or data connections.
• USB-C chargers: Compatible PD power adapters with suitable output specifications.

Compatibility note: USB-C connector compatibility does not automatically mean 100W charging. Actual performance depends on the device's maximum input power, charger output and supported charging protocol. This model should not be advertised as a 4K video-output cable or a 10Gbps data cable.
