Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cable fast-charge my laptop?
This cable supports up to 15 W (5 V / 3 A) charging, which is sufficient for phones, tablets, and very light-load laptops like the MacBook 12". For high-wattage USB-C laptop charging (45–100 W), you need a USB-C to USB-C Power Delivery cable such as the PowerUp USB-C to USB-C Cable.

Does it support USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 hosts?
Yes. The RiseUp is fully backwards compatible with USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) hosts. The cable operates at the host port's maximum supported speed.

Why braided nylon instead of rubber?
Braided nylon resists fraying, tangling, and wear far longer than standard rubber cables. Combined with aluminum connectors, the RiseUp is rated for thousands of plug cycles.

Will this cable transfer data faster than my old USB 3.0 cable?
Yes — if both the host and the device support USB 3.2 Gen 2. The RiseUp cable is capable of the full 10 Gbps transfer rate, twice what USB 3.0 can provide.
