It's new cables time!

Apple's new product release from yesterday's press conference (new iPad Pro, new Macbook Air ,and new Mac mini) all feature USB-C for charging and data transfer, what a pleasant surprise! So we figured it's probably a good time to put these new babies on sale in case you want to stock up some quality USB-C cables!

Offering 25% off these cables with code "WTF5ACABLE":

    P.S. Coupon code stands for Where To Find 5A Cable
    DEFINITELY no swearing word intended

    • unco on 01/11/2018 - 09:01

      Why The Funny 5A Cable code?

  • bbtlovebbt on 01/11/2018 - 09:00

    Cables are cheaper in Joybuy

    • cariDisc on 01/11/2018 - 10:00

      yeah, this one from joybuy has different look but the same 3.5A, for AUD 4.9

        This one doesn't support data transfer on Micro-USB or USB-C just FYI

        • rabidpuppy on 01/11/2018 - 13:48

          Yes this is important to know. I don't want to keep notes on which cables are charge and which are charge+data.

          I see, thanks for the FYI.

          I can live without the data transfer support.
          I almost never use data cable unless I need to backup and switch to new phone.

    Picked up one of each length of the AENZR.

    I think I have a problem, I am obsessed with making every cable in the house usb-c 3.1 gen 2 10Gbps 100W PD3.

    Even though my phone which I don't even have yet is usb-c 3.1 gen 1 18W PD2.

    • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 13:55

      :D

      Just wait till USB-C 4 comes out :p

      also, PD 3???

      • rabidpuppy on 01/11/2018 - 18:34

        Power Delivery 3.0

        • yozza on 02/11/2018 - 18:47

          yeah, got that much :) But haven't read about/seen it at all. What are the improvements over PD2?

          • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 02/11/2018 - 19:02

            @yozza: In short, Programmable power supply (PPS), basically USB-IF had to compromise and introduce some sort of protocol to allow compatibility between various proprietary fast charging protocols.

  • ntb on 01/11/2018 - 09:47

    I got bunch of cables from previous deals but does not have a single device with USB-C :) talking about being an ozbargainer

      Nice prep work. Soon everything will be usb-c. My next laptop & headphones will have to be.

  • mg_k on 01/11/2018 - 09:50

    It says it supports 5A, does that mean it supports Huawei super charge?

    • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 09:52

      AFAIK Huawei SCP adapters use USB-A ports, so you won't be able to plug the USB-C Male plug into the charger
      If the newer ones use USB-C port then Yes!

    Does anyone know how I can tell the max Wattage my existing cables support?

    I've got a bunch that have come with Pixel phones, etc. but have no idea what W they support…

    Thanks!

    • rabidpuppy on 01/11/2018 - 13:50

      Am interested in this answer also.

      • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 13:53

        yeah, another confusing thing with USB-C… all cables looks the same but have different capabilities :S

    • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 14:40

      Best way is with a USB-C tester like the one I used in the pictures to measure output when connected to a 60W+ charger, or check the E-marker chip info (USB-IF requires USB-C Cables that carry more than 3A current to have E-marker chip so that the charger, the device and the cables can communicate with each other and negotiate a Power Delivery output level).

      It's safe to assume the cables won't have it unless specified otherwise, e.g. Apple Macbook Charge Cable, most USB-C cables for laptops, Huawei 5A Super Charge Cable, Oneplus Dash cable, a few Anker powerline cables, some CE-Link(Ugreen) cables etc.

      Some would have 5A markings on the connectors

      • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 16:07

        Thanks!

        apparently, also required "if the Type-C cable is a full featured cable i.e, if the cable either supports either USB 3.1 Gen1 or USB 3.1 Gen2 signaling"

        Presumably any PD capable cable would require E-marker too? (Otherwise how would it negotiate power level?)

        How do you check the E-marker chip info?

        • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 16:26
          +1

          Good summary in that answer, USD PD doesn't necessarily need E-marker, if the cable doesn't have one, then the charger and device should not transmit more than 3A over PD protocol.

          To check e-marker you can use a USB-C tester, not sure if there's a software way of doing it without a tester equipment
          It will show information like in the pictures:

          • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 16:40

            @Mostly Melbourne: 3A is still a lot though, even at 20V, that's 60W…

            Does that mean it's safe to assume any USB-C cable can do 60W?

            Ahh cool, thanks! Do you sell the tester?

            • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 17:04

              @yozza: Chargerlab(a.k.a Chongdiantou.com) work with a number of manufacturers to make these USB testers (FL series, KM series, KZ series etc.), they can be found on aliexpress or ebay, maybe will sell them in the future, but quite a niche market at this stage

              The pixel cables are pretty decent quality and often used as a reference point for comparison testing. For high wattage PD applications, thicker cables (lower AWG core) are usually better

              • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 17:14

                @Mostly Melbourne: ahh ok, thanks.

                Higher wattage = >60W?

                So it's safe to assume any USB-C cable can do 60W?

  • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 13:16

    OP, I'm interested in the Magnetic Detachable (like Mag Safe) option, but would rather an adapter that works with the existing cables I have…

    Do you sell those?

    Thanks!

    • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 13:38

      Not 100% sure if I understand the type of connector your are after, is this it MagSafe 1 or 2 to USB C PD Power Adapter?

      This brand is available on Amazon US too

      • yozza on 01/11/2018 - 13:52

        Apologies, what I meant was a two part adapter:

        first part turns an existing USB-C cable into a Magnetic Detachable cable
        second part plugs into the USB-C port on the device and magnetically connects with the first part

        This way I don't need to buy new cables and can use the adapter on different length cables as required.

        Does that make sense?

        • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 14:09

          I see, Baseus made these before, when I did my tests on "Magsafe" like solutions, I had a chat with the Baseus supplier and they recommended against this particular product which is actually discontinued due to lots of customer complaints.

          It's fine for charging phones etc. at low power levels (comparing to Macbook), but failure rate is alarmingly high

          Maybe there will be something with better quality in the future

    So Aenzr is for data.
    If you just want cables for fast charging then Xiaomi.

    AENZR cable description says also comes with a 30cm option, but cannot find anywhere.

    Would love a short (10-30cm) full featured cable for carrying with powerbanks or to plug into laptop on the go etc.

    • MarketingMostly Melbourne @ Mostly Melbourne on 01/11/2018 - 20:10

      Unfortunately didn't get any stock of the 30cm this time around
