A direct link between two USB-C devices
This Xtorm Original cable joins two USB-C connectors: the power source on one end, the device to be charged on the other. It suits situations where your power bank, portable power station or mains charger has a USB-C output and the smartphone, tablet or laptop you want to recharge uses the same port. No adapter is needed; you plug in and the link is made.
The PD designation refers to the Power Delivery protocol. However, the data sheet gives neither a maximum power nor a data rate, so read your device’s manual and the cable maker’s documentation before counting on a particular charging speed.
Who it is for and how it is used
Home users
At home, a one-metre cable reaches a wall socket near the floor from a sofa or a bed without strain. When travelling, it slips into a pouch next to the power bank to revive a phone between two visits. The black finish blends into a bag, a car console or a worktop.
Professionals
Tradespeople, maintenance technicians and event crews often keep a spare in the toolbox to get a site tablet or a badge reader running again. The length stays reasonable, which limits clutter on a workbench or behind a stand.
Build and dimensions
The information available is limited to the Xtorm brand, the black colour and a length of 1 m. No sheath material or weight is stated, so nothing can be claimed about flexibility or the toughness of the covering. Look the cable over when it arrives: a snug connector and a sheath free of kinks are the first signs of a sound cord.
Setting up and good habits
- Switch the device off or to standby if you can, then plug the straight connector into the source.
- Connect the other end to the device you want to charge, pushing gently without force.
- Check that the screen shows charging before you walk away.
For a permanent setup in a vehicle or shelter, hold the cable in place with a soft tie so it is not pulled with every movement.
Strong points
- Two identical ends, so there is no risk of mixing up the connectors.
- One-metre length, a balance between reach and clutter.
- Xtorm brand, as stated on the product sheet.

Safety
Do not exceed the limits given by the device and by the power source. Never pull on the cable to unplug it; hold the connector instead. Keep it away from heat sources and moisture, and stop using it if the sheath is split or the connector gets unusually warm.
Care and storage
Coil the cable in a wide loop without folding it sharply, and keep it dry. A slightly damp cloth is enough to clean the sheath; let the contacts dry fully before plugging in.
