Finding super long charging cables that keep you from falling out of bed at night is pretty easy these days, but do you sometimes want a super short one to plug into a nearby port? They may be surprisingly expensive, but the Beats USB-C cable is only 8 inches long and today you can get it for $7.60 instead of the usual $19, an impressive 60 percent savings. It has the perfect cable length to use if you’re charging your headphones from your phone or a power bank, or you just don’t want a long cable snaking around your desk.
This cable is small on purpose, which is great. At 8 inches long, it’s perfect for storing in your jacket pocket, travel bag, or in your car console. If you have a designated spot for your phone right next to your car’s USB port, like I do, a long cable just gets in the way.
Don’t be fooled by the size because this short cable supports up to 60W, so it will still quickly charge phones, tablets, and other USB-C gear, including your Beats headphones or AirPods. It can also handle data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds, which is great if you need to quickly move some files too.
For $7.60, this Beats USB-C cable is an easy pick if you want a compact, fast, and travel-ready cable. So grab one while it’s still on sale.
