StarTech UCC-3M-10G-USB-CABLE · 3 m

A named 3 m active USB 10Gbps cable with separate 60W power, DisplayPort Alt Mode and electronic-marker evidence.

Also called UCC-3M-10G-USB-CABLE active retimer USB C 3m StarTech 3m 10Gbps 60W

Keep exact-product power, data, display, construction and length evidence separate.

The useful distinction

Identify the exact manufacturer model and length. A USB-C outline or a similar product name is not an exact cable match.

Cable / adapter note · not an individual product specification

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

A named 3 m active USB 10Gbps cable with separate 60W power, DisplayPort Alt Mode and electronic-marker evidence. [C342A]

The UCC-3M-10G-USB-CABLE datasheet’s cable-level power specification and feature text state up to 60W Power Delivery. [C342B]

The StarTech cable datasheet documents DisplayPort 1.4 Alt Mode with HBR3 and lists its high-resolution performance examples with DSC. A resolution headline is not an unqualified display-mode guarantee. [C342C]

StarTech describes both an active retimer and a certified electronic-marker chip in this named cable. The chip wording does not establish that the whole cable assembly has an independently matched USB-IF certification record. [C342D]

The StarTech datasheet’s selected protocol list names USB 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and DP Alt Mode 1.4. The inspected list does not establish USB2 fallback or a USB4/Thunderbolt link mode; a Thunderbolt-compatible title is not such a qualification. [C342E]

Exact product3 m · active retimer · USB up to 10Gbps [C342A]
Cable powerUp to 60W; not measured device charging [C342B]
Display scopeDP 1.4 Alt Mode; DSC-qualified examples [C342C]

A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

No physical inspection, negotiated-mode capture, charging measurement, certification database match or hardware interoperability test was performed.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Match the exact product and length.
  2. Check each required data, display and power capability separately.
  3. Confirm the host, device and charger requirements; a cable specification does not upgrade them.

Common questions

Questions this record can help resolve

How do USB-C cable power and data markings differ?Read watts and data rates independently; a power-only USB 2 marking is not a no-data verdict.Does a USB logo prove an exact cable is certified?Separate program rules, public listing scope and an authentic exact-product match.Is an e-marked USB-C cable necessarily active?An electronic marker and signal-conditioning electronics answer different questions.What should I check on a long active USB-C cable?Keep exact length, retimer construction, USB modes, display conditions and power separate.
