      • source for 10Gbps?

        the description lists:
        Maximum data transfer rate (Mbps) 100 Mbps

        which is below USB 2.0 speeds so I'm guessing it's incorrect

          Purchased it already.
          Seen on the product specs printed on back.

          Officework website has incorrect description on transfer speed.

          When you visit store and pick up the product users can see the specs printed on the back.

      J.Burrows USB-C to USB-C 3.2 Cable 5A 1.2M White 2 Pack is emarked (I checked it with an USB meter that can read the PD marking). Tested it on a Macbook Pro (it did charge at 20V. However, ideally, it is best to test it on a PC notebook that mandates emarked cable needs to be used for fast charging).

      The cable is much thicker than a typical USB 3.1/3.2 gen 2 cable. The connectors are also quite bulky. The wires are rated 30V max so it's fine for USB PD 3.0 (and that's why it is rated PD 3.0). I did a quick data transfer test, it is okay.

      I still recommend using original cables as much as possible. These could be used for cheap USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosures (for about $15 or less each) you get from AliExpress. I am too lazy to do a test to see the voltage and current differences between this cable and an original cable (the cheap 60W USB 2 cables from J. Burrows are inferior to original as they do charge at slightly lower voltage and current compared to Apple or Samsung original cables).

      • Just want to mention a couple of quirks I encountered during testing:

        • One of my USB emarker readers failed to read the cable's emarking data (tried many times). That particular reader generally tries to decode the data a bit more. No issue with another reader that just reads the raw data.
        • I had to re-do USB 3.2 gen 1 data test on an enclosure with the cable. It wouldn't complete Crystal DiskMark test when I tested it with an Intel Optane SSD inside an enclosure (it did complete fine using another SSD). It did pass USB 3.2 gen 2 data test on another PC so I re-tested USB 3.2 gen 1 and it passed the second time.
        • So what determination have you come to onthw3nsnr their speed?

          I opted for the 240w 2x2 on Amazon for the price

          • @parad0x: These are USB 3.2 gen 2 / 10Gbps.

              @netsurfer: That's 3.2 Gen 1 mate. And before you tell me how wrong I am,.check your facts and bring the.sourcr that said I'm wrong.

              • +4

                @parad0x: It's USB 3.2 gen 2 (which can be either USB 3.2 gen 2x1 or 1x2). USB 3.1 gen 2 = USB 3.2 gen 2.

                Read the wiki yourself. Before you tell me how wrong I am, I've checked the cable's eMarking through multiple meters (and tested power delivery using a Macbook Pro). I've also tested transfer speed of the cable on a PC. If this cable can only do USB 3.2/3.1 gen 1, I would inform people (and personally return mine to Officeworks).

                USB 3.2 gen 2x2 is 20Gbps. As for over-provisioning. I don't bother with USB 3.2 gen 2x2 cables nowadays, I just go USB 4 cables. There are also some USB 3.2 gen 2x2 cables with dodgy emarking data.

                  Not even close bevause as you can see you have a Gen1 and..Gen2 in there, you your statememt in plain English doesn't make sense

                  You're the one whining about their data cables not proving power, I know everything else that follows is completely misunderstood.

                  Read my post. I don't I need wiki, 25yrs in enterprise administration. I know what USB is, which is why I posted the explanations , knowing members would be improperly informed.. You.You're the creator of your own universe, and that's fine if you don't need anything charged in a hurry - just keep blaming the cables. 😂

                @parad0x: USB 3.2 gen 2 is 10Gbps. Stop spreading false information.

                Google: usb 3.2 gen 2 speed

                USB 3.2 Gen 2, also known as SuperSpeed+ 10Gbps, has a theoretical maximum transfer speed of 10 gigabits per second (10 Gbps)

                If that's wrong, go tell Google to fix it. However, it is most likely you are wrong. USB specs / standards is a mess. The fact that someone with so many years of "enterprise" experience can still get confused just shows how confusing it is. USB4 has the same mess.

                • +5

                  @netsurfer: I would like to chime in and just commend @netsurfer for keeping their cool in the face of an online debate where @parad0x has devolved their argument into berating comments, which makes their argument look rather juvenile. Regardless of who is right, the way netsurfer has conducted themselves is mature and level-headed.

      • Can anyone confirm whether USB-IF or Superspeed etc is on the packaging?

        • No USB-IF certified nor Superspeed mentioned. However, both of those are pretty useless due to supplier swapping. My ancient USB-C/USB-C USB 2.0 AmazonBasics cables are USB-IF certified, but they are inferior grade and sometimes won't even charge at 9V or above (because the device refused to attempt to use fast charge with those at times). There were cable makers which changed suppliers after the initial batch received raving reviews (newer batches were inferior).

          • -3

            @netsurfer: All sounds 100% in order to me, you just have no idea what anything you have,.

            You're asking certified data cables, to perform charging. Data cables on the whole,.do not.

            Know what you're buying

            • +1

              @parad0x: 3rd party cables, the first thing I do is test them with the meters I have. If they are e-marked, I would check the e-marking data as well. Sometimes, cables makers put rubbish e-marking data in the cable.

              I have a USB 3.2 gen 2x2 cable that's rated 100W on the packaging, but the emarking data states up to 240W. There are a lot of dodgy cables with rubbish emarking data. I wouldn't use that cable for over 100W (I get that cable for data anyway and it does work for USB 3.2 gen 2x2 speed).

              When you check these cables through the meters and look at the voltage and current (and how fast it ramp up to fast charging voltage / current), you will realise the original cables are better and more reliable.

              • -6

                @netsurfer: What does this have absolutely ANYTHING to do with you incorrectly expecting your USB-If certified cables to change?

                Wow. I'm out. The expert bukmshirers that people would easier believe than.the.Truth k.This place is out of control.

                You're royally screwed when USB4 is everywhere.

                • @parad0x: You want to pretend all USB-IF cables are top quality, be my guest. Apple did recall USB-C cables years ago. Someone with your experience surely know that.

                  USB4 has been around for quite some time. I have multiple USB4 enclosures, Thunderbolt 3/4 enclosures. I even have a PC that has Thunderbolt4 support through CPU PCIe lanes (rather than chipset lanes).

                  240W USB-C power testing is a real pain because of the equipment cost. I only have 2 meters that can check them (most of my other meters can only test up to 100W). This relying on USB-IF logo and what's written on packaging is unsafe, especially for 3rd party cheap cables.

                  ASMedia 2464 USB4 enclosure speed test on Macbook Pro M1 I posted on OZB back in April 2024. USB4 enclosures were already cheap back then.

            • @parad0x: Warning: I just did a test with this cable on a PC that supports USB 3.2 gen 2x2. To my surprise, the PC allows it to operate in that mode and Crystal DiskMark test is showing 2030MB/s (megabytes, not megabits) max sequential read. My USB 3.2 gen 2x2 enclosure uses ASMedia based chipset.

              That is incorrect behaviour. I tested another USB 3.2 gen 2 cable (that particular cable isn't emarked) and with the same test, it operates in USB 3.2 gen 2 mode only.

      • Real-world-experience: keep up the good work ⭐🏆

      • Where to get the original cables? Isnt when buying new phones they didnt supply cables anymore

    • Darn. Bought 2 of the 3 packs already.

      It seems the 5 pack is 60w
      Product code: JBUC5PK60W

    • +3

      5 pack is 60W according to the product code JBUC5PK60W

  • Am I correct that the 5 pack is the colour black? Despite the picture not reflecting this

    • Who knows, description says:

      They come in a black colourway.

      But it also says it's 100W and apparently it's only 60W so anything could be wrong.

    • i purchased the 5 pack 100w black last week (click and collect) and they gave me the 60w white instead. turns put there is mistake in their system. I had to exchange in store for a 2 and a 3 pack (in white)

    • At my local store, the black ones are not discounted.

  • +17

    For those whose brain is already asleep but fingers are still ready to click "Buy Now" with your credit card on the other hand:

    The 5 pack is 60W, 3 pack is 100W USB2.0, and 2 pack is 100W USB 3.2.
    Original price was $20, It was $10 last week and $8 now.
    I will hold on and wait until it drop to $5 :D

    • The 5 pack is 60W, 3 pack is 100W USB2.0

      how did you figure that out? not sure if it is purely by the OW product code, one with 100 [JBUC3P100W] and the other with 60 [JBUC5PK60W]?
      but is that an accurate assumption?

    • Good luck!

    • I got the 3 pack for $5 from West Ryde but still doesn't trigger Super Fast Charging 2.0 on my Samsung.

    Good deal for $8 for USB 3.2 C to C

    given 3.2 usb c cables are indeed expensive and cheap amazon/aliexpress ones are not usb 3.2. (often needed for 4k video, media transfer, fastboot etc etc.)

      Why have local J Burrows when you could have… Wengshini.

      • Because you only need 100w or 10G capable cables and really budget conscious and can have twice as many J Burrows as you can WengShini for a similar price.

        That said, both greats deals, so naturally ordered 2 of each… WengShini can go sit with my USB4 40gbps external SSD enclosure on the shelf for a while longer

        • Ooh, shiny wang!

  • Weird how I sometimes see these bargains before OzB. Needed a USB-C cable Friday didn't want to pay $10+ for one. Saw OW have 2 for $8 thought what a steal. Go in store see 5pk for $10 and scans at $8. Win!

  • The specifications shows USB3.1. Is ir same as 3.2?

    • +6

      USB3.0 = USB 3.1 Gen 1 = USB3.2 Gen 1x1
      USB3.2 Gen 2 = USB3.2 Gen 2x1

      TLDR; Yes… Well, no. But Maybe?

      In other words, the decimal is used to denote a revision of the specification, not the performance of the connection.

      All USB3 cablea/device's, are currently defined within USB 3.2 (of which there are 4 definitions, defining| 3 speeds and separated into 2 interface subdivisions), thus all USB3 should be described using one of the following;

      USB-A, USB-C and/or Micro-USB Interface (Often misrepresented as USB3.1);
      USB3.2 Gen 1x1 - 5Gbps
      USB3.2 Gen 2x1 - 10Gbps

      USB-C Only (misrepresented as USB3.2)
      USB3.2 Gen 1x2 - 10Gbps
      USB3.2 Gen 2x2 - 20Gbps

      The confusion lies in different standards and definitions that are present simultaneously, without standards defined correlation (Type-C 2.3, USB3.2, USB-C - whilst all describing something different can all be used to describe a single cable).

      USB-IF has always. requested vendors not to use revision numbers but to use a simple type definition based on the speed.

      Don't worry the confusion is set to only get worse with USB4, due to the increased feature set the compatibility (or not) with Thunderbolt 3.

      None of this has any provision in aforementioned standards for power (beyond the scope of 5W maximum power defined by USB3), defined by the PD3.1 & QC4.0 standards

    • USB 3.0 (5Gbps) = USB 3.1 gen 1 = USB 3.2 gen 1
      USB 3.1 (10Gbps) = USB 3.1 gen 2 = USB 3.2 gen 2

      The packaging has USB 3.1 gen 2 written on it. Basically, it is the 10Gbps version.

    • USB 3.1 gen 2 is the same as USB 3.2 gen 2.

      The easiest way is to google: USB 3.1 gen 2
      Then, google: USB 3.2 gen 2
      Both are 10Gbps.

      If you can't be bothered understanding USB 3.x, just check the packaging for speed. The packaging show:

      Transfer speed: 10Gbps

    How many USB cables are too much?

  • Guys any suggestions for a 2m+ USB C 3.2? Thank you!

  • +3

    Ordered a 2pk, thanks!
    Got way too many USB-C cables but hardly any (if any at all) would be USB3

  • Does this cable and Wengshini do video display? (Portable monitor) or should I be looking for USB 4.0?

    • That's what dp-alt means, it will do video.

  • sorry for the noob question, what control the charging speed? wattage or the USB version (3.2 vs 2.0)?
    assume the latter is for data transfer speed?

    • Wattage controls charging speed.

    • The device, the cable and the charger negotiate on the charging speed. If your laptop only supports 60W charging, getting a 100W cable and a 100W charger won't change that. iPhones, for examples, don't benefit from 100W cables (that's why Apple released USB-C 60W cables).

      To get >60W charging, you generally need an emarked cable and the cable needs to be rated above 60W (normally 100W or higher). It's possible to have a USB 2 cable that supports 100W charging (and has a emarking chip). There are USB 3.2 cables which only support 60W (no emarking) - most of the cheap USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosures you get from AliExpress (or even retail stores and Amazon) include a short USB 3.2 gen 2 cable that's not emarked because they only want to give you a data cable.

      Sometimes the cable makers tell you the PD version (PD 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 etc…), but most of the time, for low cost ones, they don't bother.

      • dunno if i got dud cables but they're not charging the iphone..keeps going on and off.. no issue with the oem one.

  • Saw this as I was at Bunnings, then popped to the nearby OW to grab a few packs.

    Dude at the counter was wondering what was going on cause every online order seemed to want them xD

    On that Note, Maribyrnong store is almost out. Couple packs left in Aisle H, and couple more at the end cap of Aisle I.

    Wow never thought Id see my one and only review on Officeworks appear on ozb!

    I’m the person who left that Officeworks review a couple of months back. I was hunting for a decent USB-C cable and noticed in store the specs didn’t line up with what was online. Couldn’t believe how cheap these were for what they can actually do, so I grabbed them.

    They’re still working perfectly for me to this day. The only annoying bit is the Officeworks site has the wrong info, which makes the cables look way worse than they really are. I ended up leaving that review and even shot off a message to Officeworks to fix the listing since it’s kinda misleading. No surprise they haven’t fixed it up yet.

    • +2

      Congratulations. You're famous !!!

    • I was surprised it passed 20Gbps test when I tested one (wasn't expect it to operate in 20Gbps mode (gen 2x2), let alone passing that test). I wouldn't use it for 20Gbps though (it is emarked for USB 3.1/3.2 gen 2 (10Gbps)), but it is good to know there is a decent buffer.

      The cables are really thick though.

  • +10

    Since a few people are wondering about the other J.Burrows USB-C cables at Officeworks, here’s a quick breakdown when I was looking into them. The listings on the site are so messy, confusing and flatout wrong.

      How is the USB4 cable? Any good?

  • From my Fnirsi FNB58, one of the two pack 100W cables.

    Detection V1.2

    PD-> PD3.0 105.00W PDO:6
    APPLE-> 5V 2.4A
    PE+1.1
    BC1.2-> DCP 5V 1.5A
    PE+2.0
    SUMSUNG AFC-> 9V 12V
    HUAWEI FCP-> 5V 9V 12V
    HUAWEI SCP-> 3.3 - 12.0V @ 40.0W

    QC3.0-> 20.06V Max
    VOOC/DASH/WARP-3.3-> NONE
    SuperVOOC-> NONE

    I won't interpret it for you. Try Googling the result you're interested in.

    • You were testing your charger with that result, not the cable. I used KM003C and the emarking data indicates CE-Link being the vendor code (not sure whether that's the actual vendor or J.Burrows "borrowed" the vendor ID).

    • There is no quick way to test a cable with a meter. You could check voltage, current, resistance, temperature with an USB meter, and compare it against Apple or Lenovo cable (using laptops).

      • Unless you can explain otherwise?
        From Wikipedia USB standards…
        “ E-Marker
        All Type‑C cables except the minimal combination of USB 2.0 and only 3 A must contain E-Marker chips that identify the cable and its capabilities via the USB PD protocol. This identification data includes information about product/vendor, cable connectors, USB signalling protocol (2.0, Gen speed rating , Gen 2), passive/active construction, use of VCONN power, available VBUS current, latency, RX/TX directionality, SOP controller mode, and hardware/firmware version.[14] It also can include further vendor-defined messages (VDM) that detail support for Alt modes or vendor-specific functionality outside of the USB standards.”

    Note the 2 pack 100W JBUC2P100W are quite thick cables. Not suitable for traveling.

    • not sure why a thick cable is not suitable for travelling? I’d rather travel with a thick cable that doesn’t break, than a thin cable that breaks

      • Whatever works for you. I tend to bring lighter cable, easier to fit.

    • nice! they must be real 100W cables then

    Thanks, picked up a 2 pack 100w cables and a 5 pack 60w cables for…. Yea I dont know why… fomo

  • Someone convince me that I should name drop the store in SA that has heaps of the 2 pack USB 3.1 Gen 2 in stock.

    Even though I bought 2 packs of 2 I feel like gate keeping this after having go search around

    Apart from having some cables lying around in case I ever need them, what are other uses that would justify buying out the stock

    • they might get even cheaper in the future

      • Now this is the ozbargainer mindset I needed!

  • OK thats wierd, I have one pass and I get right through to the stage to buy and it says they are not available for delivery
    but I can pick up from the Trinity Garden officeworks

    • change your preferred store even delivery suburb. In short fiddle around with those and checking out until you find a setup that works for you. How it behaves is also dependant upon what else is in your cart for best results, don;t add other items

  • working properly with apple products?
