A good USB-C cable is one of the best investments you can make for everyday value. You charge your phone every night, right? Not to mention all the other devices, such as tablets, headphones, and peripherals. A slow USB-C cable will charge slowly and take up time you can’t get back, while upgrading to a faster one will give you that time back for just a few dollars.
Right now, Amazon is selling this 2-pack of Anker Fast Charging USB-C Cables for just $9.99. That’s close to its all-time low price of $8.99 and works out to just $4.50 per cable.
Each cable delivers up to 100W of charging, which is fast enough to take a modern phone from 0% to 50% in about 15 to 20 minutes, or a 16-inch MacBook Pro from 0% to 100% in about 2 hours. Of course, you’ll need a fast power source, whether it’s a power bank or a wall charger capable of 100W. (Don’t have one? Check out this 100W Anker 3-Port Charger or this 165W Anker Laptop Power Bank.)
These are 6 foot cables, which can be a selling point or a deal breaker depending on your exact needs. At this length, they’re great for charging your devices while you’re at your desk, on the couch, or in bed; You won’t feel tied to the wall. But if you’re on the go, winding up a 6-foot cable can be a hassle and you’ll need a proper laptop bag or backpack instead of stuffing it in your pocket. It’s made of braided nylon, so it will withstand wear and tear, but you still don’t want to bend it too much.
A double pack of 6-foot 100W USB-C charging cables is always a smart buy when they’re marked down to $9.99. If you’re still using the old cables that came with your devices, it’s time to move on. You will notice the difference immediately.
