Review on πŸ”Œ CBUS 5A 100W USB-C Cable: Fast Charge, PD Compatible with MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, 4K/5K Displays by Mark Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Delivers goods - but be careful, this is not a lightweight.

Let me get one thing straight first, this cable is 100% as advertised. This is a full speed, full performance USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cable. Capable of delivering 100W of power and 10Gbps data rates all day long, it feels very solid and well built. It also easily connects to all USB-C devices (USB-C female on both ends). So, in terms of functionality, it delivers goods and then some. It's also good looking, matches the black theme of many cables/chargers (usually everything in that range is black or white) and comes with an integrated Velcro strap to tie it neatly when not in use. Why is that? Rating only 4 stars and not 5 then? Because the cable - presumably because it's so well built, maybe too much - is very heavy for a 6 foot cable and VERY stiff to the point where it's difficult to route it the way you want it . For cables you run around your desk or use in a permanent installation this isn't a problem and I'd say buy it. But if you intend to use it on the go - which I've been aiming for - this is definitely something to consider as the stiffness means you can spend a little more time unwinding and rewinding it each time you use it . So I'm deducting a star. Otherwise great cable at a great price!
