This 1-metre charge cable is made with a woven design — with USB-C connectors on both ends — and is ideal for charging, syncing and transferring data between USB-C devices. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Anker USB-C Thunderbolt 3 Cable is shorter than we’d like, but there’s a practical reason: Thunderbolt 3 cables longer than 1.

The latest addition to PD is Extended Power Range (EPR), which allows USB-C cables to carry up to 240 watts (they used to be limited to 100W). To test power draw, we used the 13-inch laptop, a Satechi ammeter, and a first-generation Google Pixel phone, and we noted the maximum power-draw readings on the ammeter as well as on the laptop’s System Report.But in practice, we found all of them cumbersome to use—an inelegant method of addressing different standards and legacy connectors. That means you can just use a USB-C to USB-C cable to transmit video from your laptop to your monitor. Charge your MacBook, Chromebook, gaming laptop, iPad and other high-powered USB-C devices with a durable cable that delivers safe and optimal charging speeds. Keep your USB-C devices charged or easily sync music and photos from any USB-A port with durable USB-C to USB-A cables you can use just about anywhere. Plug the USB connector into a charger or computer and the reversible USB-C connector into your device/docking station, you're now ready to charge and sync!

The quality is great and I love that it’s a textured wrapped cord and not just the cord so it doesn’t get tangled easily and will last longer. This USB-IF certified, braided nylon cable should do the trick and offers reasonably speedy charging and data transfer to boot. The 1-foot option is handy if you are charging a device from a laptop and want to keep your desktop relatively uncluttered. When you purchase a new mobile phone, the manufactures only offer 3 to 6 months warranty on the cable and 1 year on the phone.Pair the USB-C Charge Cable with a compatible USB-C power adapter to conveniently charge your devices from a power point and take advantage of fast-charging capabilities. Cable (3 feet) performed well in our tests, and its braided cable makes it a bit sturdier than both our Belkin and Anker PowerLine II picks. Why you might prefer it: The Belkin Boost Charge USB-C to USB-A Cable is your best bet for charging a phone, tablet, or other small USB-C device on a USB-A port. They boast an eco-friendly build with a flexible knit fabric finish crafted from certified recycled plastic and aluminum that looks (and feels) lovely and promises to last.
