Review on πŸ”Œ 0.45ft (14 cm) Black USB C Flat Cable - Afterplug Fast Charging Cord, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Durable & Tangle-Free for Power Bank, Car Charger, Android Auto, External SSD, Charging Station by Jacob Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For modern laptops with USB-C/Thunderbolt ports.

My new Dell XPS 9710 has Thunderbolt/USB-C ports. Luckily, you can use any of them as needed. The curse is the lack of native ports for other formats. I've mostly switched to USB-C/TB3 dongles from my other laptops and Apple devices, so I have a few breakout boxes and connectors, but sometimes you need a 1:1 cable specifically for simplicity and ergonomics. What I like about Afterplug is the short ribbon cable. They are designed to extend the existing cable as much as possible and route it to the outside. which I like as I usually connect my cables and run them vertically and flat. It's capped at 5Gb/s compared to the faster Gen 2 10Gb/s spec, but works as advertised. 5/5

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • So far so good
