Baseus Display Cable charging laptop with live wattage reading - Nitecore Singapore

One cable handles your phone, tablet, laptop, and power bank.

KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING AS YOU CHARGE — Plug in and the LED display immediately shows the live wattage output — 65W into a MacBook, 25W into a phone, whatever your charger and device negotiate. No more guessing whether fast charge is actually active.

100W ACROSS YOUR ENTIRE USB-C LINEUP — From a phone drawing 18W to a laptop pulling close to its full 96W limit, this cable handles the complete range. One cable at your desk, one in your bag, and the tangle of device-specific leads goes away.

THE E-MARKER CHIP KEEPS YOUR DEVICES SAFE — At 100W, the chip inside the connector is required — not optional. It negotiates power delivery between your charger and device, stabilising current from fluctuating input voltage so your battery receives clean, steady power throughout the charge cycle.

FAST ENOUGH FOR DATA TRANSFERS TOO — At 480Mbps, syncing a phone to a laptop or backing up files takes seconds. This is a charging and data cable in one — no need to swap cables depending on what you're doing.

ZINC ALLOY CONNECTORS RUN COOLER UNDER LOAD — The zinc alloy shell dissipates heat quickly during high-current charging, keeping the connector temperature low. Combined with the intelligent trickle charging function that protects your battery near full capacity, this cable is built for frequent, long-session use.

WHAT SETS THE BASEUS DISPLAY CABLE APART

Live Wattage Display

Most USB-C cables give zero feedback about actual charging speed. This cable shows real-time wattage on the connector body — so you immediately know whether your charger and device are running at full power or not.

Full 100W — Not 60W

A large number of cables labelled "fast charge" are capped at 60W and don't carry the E-Marker chip required for higher wattages. This cable is verified at 100W (20V/5A) — the full USB-PD specification, not a marketing approximation.

324-Core Copper Construction

8 strands of 324 tinned copper cores increase the conduction cross-section, reducing resistance and energy loss at 100W. This is why the cable can carry full laptop-grade current without the connector overheating during extended use.

iF Design Award 2020

The CATSK-B01 received the international iF Design Award in 2020 — recognition for a product that balances functional engineering (the display, the E-Marker chip, the thermal design) with a clean industrial aesthetic.

The chip that makes 100W safe.

What the E-Marker chip actually does

At voltages above 20V, USB-C cables without an E-Marker chip are a safety risk. The chip inside the CATSK-B01 connector handles two jobs: the power recognition function reads what your charger and device are capable of and sets current and voltage accordingly, and the battery protection function monitors power throughout the charge cycle — including slowing to a trickle charge as your battery approaches full.

The result: stable power delivery from a fluctuating wall voltage, automatic adaption to whatever device you connect, and no overloading of the battery during the final stages of charging.

The live display on the connector body pulls that same data to the surface — showing you the wattage the chip has negotiated, in real time, so you always know your charger is actually performing.

What's inside the cable

324 TINNED COPPER CORES — Arranged across 8 strands, the copper conductors are tin-plated to resist oxidation and maintain stable conductivity over thousands of charge cycles. A larger conduction area means less energy lost as heat at full 100W output.

FOUR-LAYER CABLE CONSTRUCTION — Working outward from the copper core: an environmentally-friendly PE insulation layer, flame retardant TPE for heat and fire resistance, and a tight nylon braid on the outside that exceeds standard industrial bend resistance. The cable moves naturally without kinking or holding coil-set from storage.

ZINC ALLOY CONNECTOR HOUSINGS — Oxidation-resistant and wear-resistant, the zinc alloy shell at each connector end also dissipates heat faster than plastic alternatives during sustained high-current charging — keeping the contact points running at low temperatures even through long charging sessions.

SCIENTIFIC SR STRAIN RELIEF DESIGN — The point where the cable meets the connector is the most common failure spot on cheaper cables. Baseus engineered a 3mm golden-ratio strain relief collar with 360° rotation at the entry point — the cable can flex and rotate at the connector without concentrating stress on any single point, extending the usable lifespan significantly.

Pair with the right charger to get the most out of it.

The cable performs up to the limit of your charger and device — here's what that means in practice.

For phones and tablets, any USB-C charger at 18W or above will deliver fast charging — the cable won't limit the speed.

For laptops, a minimum 45W USB-C charger is needed to sustain charging while the machine is in use. For the full 100W output (charging a laptop at maximum speed), a 100W or higher USB-C charger is required.

The display on the connector shows exactly which wattage is being delivered — so you can verify at a glance whether your charger is delivering enough power for your use case.

Note: Output data measured by Baseus laboratory. Actual performance may vary depending on the charger, device, and ambient conditions.

Why the engineering behind this cable matters

Baseus holds 7+ invention patents specifically in charging technology, with 81+ utility model patents and 111+ appearance patents across their product range. The CATSK-B01 is part of a lineup that has reached 100,000+ users, with each product going through Baseus's own laboratory — 1,300 test standards, 78 pieces of test equipment, and 35 quality engineers before anything ships.

The cable carries CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications, meeting European, US, and international safety and environmental standards. The E-Marker chip inside has been specifically validated for 100W operation — not rated at a lower wattage and pushed higher.

For a cable that will be plugged into a S$2,000+ laptop daily, that engineering history and certification stack matters more than the price on the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the LED display actually show?
The display on the connector shows the live wattage currently being delivered — for example "65W" when charging a compatible laptop, or "25W" when charging a phone. This confirms that your charger and device are negotiating the power level correctly, and tells you immediately if something in the chain is limiting output.

Does this cable work with my iPhone?
iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro, and 15 Pro Max all use USB-C and are compatible. iPhone 14 and earlier use Lightning connectors and are not compatible with this cable.

What charger do I need to charge a laptop at full speed?
A 100W USB-C charger is required for full 100W output to a laptop. A 45W charger or higher will sustain laptop charging while in use, but at a slower rate. For phones and tablets, any USB-C fast charger works — the cable adapts to whatever is available.

Can I use this cable for data transfer as well as charging?
Yes. The 480Mbps transfer speed handles photo syncing, file backups, and phone-to-laptop data transfers efficiently. Note: this cable does not support video output — it carries power and data only, not DisplayPort or HDMI signal.

Why does a 100W cable need a special chip?
USB-C cables operating above 60W are required by the USB-PD specification to carry an E-Marker chip. This chip tells the charger the cable's current rating, preventing the charger from delivering more current than the cable can safely handle. Cables without the chip are limited to 60W maximum by the spec — using an unmarked cable with a 100W charger is a safety risk the CATSK-B01 is specifically designed to avoid.
