Which USB-C Cable for Powerbank? (Recommendation)

teacherer on 12/05/2017 - 13:53

Hey guys
Just bought an anker powerbank and I'm looking for a USB c to USB c cable, about 30cm (1ft) long to use with it.

I'm keen on blitzwolf build quality but can't find any under 1m (3.3ft).

I understand usb cables need to be rated for fast charging as well so I don't want to buy a rubbish one.

Any recommendations please?

AmazonBasics via Amazon
Anker
Apple - high premium though

  None of those guys do a 30cm one on ebay from what I can find except if they're part of an expensive multi pack

    You didnt try Link Amazon
    Its USB 2.0 data speeds, but supports the 5v 3amp charging rate.
    
    By the way, you should look for cables that are Certified by USB-IF, otherwise they could damage your device. There was a report on it by a Google engineer Benson Leung. Not all cables made equal.

      You're right I forgot to try that one
      I see it is usb-if
      I hope the blitzwolf ones I bought a couple months ago are ok
      I'm gonna grab the Amazon one I suppose
      Cheers

How about this one

Monoprice Palette Series 3.1 USB-C to USB-C Cable with PD - 6 inch Black

though not quite as long as you'd like.
