Fast Charging: The cable can deliver up to 3 amps of charging power, providing for fast charging of phones, tablets, and other mobile devices.
USB 3.1 Gen 1: Transfer music, photos, video, or data to and from a USB-CÂ equipped laptop at speeds up to 5 Gbps.
Reversible Design: The reversible Type-CÂ connector is always properly oriented, eliminating a common source of frustration from trying to plug in improperly oriented Type-A connectors.
There's some misinformation in the comments:
There are two things you need to know that are separate from each other the interface standard and the plug type:
- The USB standard. 2.0 cables can do 480 Mbps, 3.1 Gen 1 (Same as USB 3.0 , thanks USB-IF) cables can do 5 Gbps, 3.1 Gen 2 cables can do 10 Gbps. These can be either Type C or Type A
- The power delivery standard, For power delivery, you need a USB Type C to Type C. Regular cables can do upto 3Amps, But to reach 5A (100W), you need an emarked cable which has a chip inside.
So, you can have type C cables which can be USB 2.0 but be able to do 5A charging. You can also have cables which can be USB 3.1 Gen 2 which are Type A or Type C. But to do power delivery, you need Type C on both ends and e marked (with chip inside ) to do 5A
This cable here is a USB 3.1 but non e-marked so it should work upto 3A (i.e. max 60W)

Planning on buying a Samsung 25w charger for my s21ultra, This should work right?
I think to charge at full 25w you'll need the original Samsung cable, that one I believe is usb 3.1 gen 2, this monoprice one is gen 1, but you should be able to charge it pretty fast. I have not seen a cable that is 6' or longer that supports 25w charging for Samsung phones. I could be wrong though, this is the info I gathered from a year ago when I was trying to find a longer cable for my note 10+.
