Why you might prefer it: The Anker USB-C Thunderbolt Cable is rated for 100 W charging, so it'll charge the 15-inch MacBook Pro or any high-powered laptop. USB 2.0 data transfer rates (up to 480 Mbps) Our next pick will, and it's often cheaper than the Anker, but it is a bit bulkier and has a shorter warranty, so most people who don't have a 15-inch Pro should get this one.

It won't charge a large laptop, like the 15-inch MacBook Pro, at full speed though. But for charging your smartphone or laptop, an affordable cable with reliable charging capabilities is all you need, and this one fills the bill. If you want a faster cable, you'll have to give up length, as top data speeds are only available on cables 3 feet long and shorter. The 6-foot length is convenient for charging while sitting on a couch or in bed.įlaws but not dealbreakers: As mentioned above, this cable's data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0. It's USB-IF certified, and it's backed by Anker's lifetime warranty. Why you might prefer it: The Anker PowerLine II USB-C to USB-C 2.0 Cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds and carries power up to 60 W (we confirmed this in our testing), which is all you need for charging a USB-C phone, USB-C tablets (including the new iPad Pro), and most most laptops short of the 87 W 15-inch MacBook Pro. USB 3.1 Gen 2 data transfer rates (up to 10 Gbps)įor charging phones, tablets, and laptops It's also only 3 feet long, but since you'd likely be using this type of cable to connect a laptop to a storage drive, dock, or monitor-and not reaching from your nightstand to your bed, for example-we don't think it's a dealbreaker.

Plus it's USB-IF certified-meaning that it meets a set of criteria designed by the USB Implementers Forum, a nonprofit company run by Apple, Intel, Microsoft, and other tech giants.įlaws but not dealbreakers: It's more expensive than most USB-C cables, though most of the cheaper ones either can't transfer data at high speed, aren't rated for 100 W charging, or have a shorter warranty. It feels sturdy and well-built, comes with a handy Velcro fastener, and has a lifetime warranty backed by a company we trust.

And with USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds of up to 10 Gbps, it moves data as fast as a non-Thunderbolt USB-C port will currently allow-that's fast enough to transfer a full-length HD movie file in about 3 seconds.
As long as you're using the right charger, it supports up to 5-amp/100-watt charging, so it'll charge any USB-C device, even a 15-inch MacBook Pro, at maximum speeds. It meets USB-C specifications, like all cables we considered for this category (cables that violate these specs can possibly fry devices). Why we love it: Anker's PowerLine II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable can do it all. *These cables and adapters were all rated by their manufacturers and confirmed in our testing for 60 W however, most USB-A devices are limited to around 15 W (though some proprietary fast-charging protocols can exceed that).
