Great cable for charging USB-C devices with Power Delivery

High quality, durable braided cable from Revain Basics. This is one of their latest cables, supporting 5A/20V charging up to 100W (that's the maximum power currently supported by USB-C cables). While USB-IF has announced a specification revision that allows 240W charging, there are currently no cables (or devices) that support this high charging rate. This cable is great for something like a MacBook, they all charge via USB C and none of them require more than 100W. It's a USB 2.0 data cable so

Pros
  • Computer Accessories & Peripherals
Cons
  • Long Lead Time

Great cable but please read on to find out why I don't recommend it.

Pros
  • USB Cable
Cons
  • Great Price

Looks great, works great, well made

There are special tools for testing USB cables, but I don't have anything difficult. I have two USB-C power meters (Satechi and Kavalan) so I can at least compare the performance to a few other cables I have, including the expensive Thunderbolt 3 cable. Please note that these are USB 2.0 cables. If you're using them to charge devices, it doesn't matter (and might be preferable). If you need them for data transfer and your devices can reach faster speeds, get faster cables. When swapping out…

Pros
  • computers and accessories
Cons
  • boring packaging
