This is the only USB-IF compliant USB 3.1 cable that I could find (on Amazon) that ships to Australia.

Down from ~AU$32 delivered, don't know for how long.

Compatibility:
- New MacBook
- Chromebook Pixel
- Google Nexus 6P, 5X
- Microsoft Lumia 950 XL, 950
- OnePlus 2
- Nokia N1 Tablet
- Asus Zenpad S 8.0
And much more to come!

BUG (Benson the USB Guru) says:

The Type-C plug on this cable is a stamped metal part that's been wrapped around to the shape of the plug. It does have a seam on one side. What impressed me about this cable is although it is a USB 3.1 SuperSpeed cable, meaning it has four extra wires to support SuperSpeed mode, it is not substantially thicker than many of the USB 2.0 only cables I've seen. It's quite thin and flexible still.
In conclusion : A high quality charging and data sync A-to-C cable from Spigen! The cable is a great safe way to charge and sync newer USB Type-C devices such as Nexus 6P/5X or Pixel devices with your old Type-A equipment. It is future proof for fast charging USB Type-C devices to come, as well as future proof for USB 3.1 SuperSpeed devices!

USB C to USB C cable is also available for US$1 more. (Actually, the Aukey http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W98I756/ is cheaper at ~AU$15 delivered.)

    It is not expensive for a quality USB-IF compliant (plus USB 3.1) cable.
    I have not seen an equivalent cable from Blitzwolf that is available here. If you have then I'd love a link.

        Not "Benson approved". Could be a good cable, but also could not be…we don't know for sure.

        Who cares? So we're just not going to buy any cables that aren't approved by him from now on?

        @tranqme: By him or the USB-IF, yes exactly.

        Right, we'll just wait after every USB cable is released for him to review it before we buy and start using them.

        @tranqme:

        or the USB-IF

        Plus, nobody is forcing you - if you want to play Russian roulette with your USB C devices you're free to do so.

        I don't feel forced, I'm just tired of reading 'IS IT BENSON APPROVED?' on every damn USB type C cable that gets posted on here, like he's the be all and end all of cable usability.

        McFly on 22/04/2016 - 10:17

        @tranqme: Well, he is, apart obviously from the USB IF.

        @tranqme:

        some people do. (eg. McFly, for one)

        So we're just not going to buy any cables that aren't approved by him from now on?

        that is entirely up to you.

        Right, we'll just wait after every USB cable is released for him to review it before we buy and start using them.

        again, entirely up to you.

        I'm just tired of reading 'IS IT BENSON APPROVED?' on every damn USB type C cable that gets posted on here, like he's the be all and end all of cable usability.

        and I'M tired of hearing "it's Benson approved" when it's NOT ACTUALLY Benson approved!!!

        I have absolutely no interest whether you want a cable that is Benson approved or not! that's entirely your choice!

        what i DO have an interest in is when people make misleading comments. you made an incorrect and misleading comment in your deal, and I merely pointed out that it was incorrect and misleading.

        Hint: Don't make misleading comments, and I won't point out your misleading comments. Simple.

        Thanks for informing me that I have the choice to do what I want, before that I didn't know whether I can live my life the way I wanted to.

  This is another 3.1 Usb A to USB C cable. This is expensive and OP's link is more cost effective but throwing the option for people who want locally.

    Great option for local, but yes, that price.

  I just ordered one from this deal. After currency conversion it was about 18.90

  However, I'd like to point out, you can get it here: https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_to_usb_standard_… for about the same price.

  • 

    McFly on 22/04/2016 - 14:51

    Just a dollar more but USB 2 only.

      telljoolz on 22/04/2016 - 15:32

      Ah thanks for explaining.

  This is a great deal if you're buying in bulk. 4 cables works out to be a bit more than $10 AUD each. Great value for cables that are future proof.
