11 Best USB-C Cables (Review) In 2021

Our top pick in our search for the best USB-C cables you can find for your smartphone, tablet, or toothbrush (hey, it’s 2019, you never know) is the JSAUX Fast-Charging USB-C Cable which is available in a pack of 2 with either 3.3’ and 10’ or dual 6’ lengths.

Take your pick from 6 colors and enjoy fast charging every time you plug it in. The military grade fiber is durable, and there’s also an 18 month warranty in case of any issues. For home use, it’s great, and compatible with a variety of devices, however, it’s surprisingly heavy, so if you like to pack light, look elsewhere. In any case, it makes a useful electronic gift for your loved ones.

The Cileen USB Type C Extra Long Charging Cable is the perfect cable for those who don’t want to traverse all the way across the room to check their phone is charging. The 10’ length is hugely convenient even if you might trip over it during a midnight trip to the bathroom.

Likely you won’t, though, and with fast charging and 480Mbps data transfers it’s a versatile option to have. The tangle-free strap is also awesome for those on the go, while the braided exterior means it can handle twists and turns much better than simple plastic coated options.

A real leader of the tech accessory industry is Anker and the Anker Powerline+ USB-C Cable continues the superb form you expect.

You can pick from 2 colors and select either 3’ or 6’ to enjoy fast syncing (5Gbps max) and charging with a product that you can trust. It lasts 5 times longer than other options with a near unmatched durability and extensive compatibility to ensure you can enjoy fully charged devices regardless of your preferred brand, although while extensive it doesn’t cover everything so check before you buy.

Despite the basics part of the name, AmazonBasics USB-C Charge Cable and other Amazon-made products often prove to be just as good as higher-end name brand choices. This USB to USB-C cable is no different, with a reversible design to save plugging in hassle and 480Mbps transfer speeds that stand up to the best of them.

There are different pack sizes available, and you can buy as many as 10 if you’re prone to misplacing your cable for a highly reasonable price. However, while plentiful, there is no fast-charging capability, so those who need their phone fully charged immediately may find better luck with other options.

The Anker Powerline+ USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable comes in a pack of 2 and boasts a double braided exterior to ensure durability for the busy man on-the-go. For high-speed lifestyles, you’ll get high-speed charging and wide compatibility for those who like to dip their fingers in different brands to get the best of the best.

It’s a USB to C cable with a secure connection to prevent any early morning panics you’re only at 25% battery, but the 3’ full length isn’t as long as we’d like, so unless you can deal with being away from your phone while it charges, you’ll have a problem. It makes a cool Christmas gift for tech lovers in your life.

For charging and connecting C ports to C ports, the Anker Powerline+ C to C 2.0 Cable is a secure and reliable choice that will last a long time and provide high-quality data transfer for those who love to watch movies on their phones.

It lasts 6 times longer than standard options and the lifetime warranty is also there to give you peace of mind. There’s also high bend tolerance and tough welded connectors for assured lifespan. As for the exterior, you’ll get a stylish (although maybe not entirely necessary) carry pouch to ensure protection.

Even though USB-C is all the rage now, there are still some options that demand USB to Type-C cable capability and the ZECEEN Fast-Charging Metal USB-A to USB-C Cable is the way to do this. It boasts long life and wide compatibility which when combined with super speed charging and data transfer makes it an attractive prospect for just under $14.

The exterior makes it tangle-free and also resistant to bending and twisting, with a 12 month guarantee to help you get over any bumps in the road. Be careful though as the prongs get a little hot during use and could burn you or your fancy new leather couch. For a more portable charging solution, check out our guide to the best power banks.

As we near the end (sort of) of our list of USB-C chargers the CHOETECH Hi-Speed USB-C to USB-C Cable is a great mid range choice that offers fast charging and fast syncing if you want to go a little over budget without overspending.

It comes in a pack of 2 with one 3.3’ and 6.6’ cable to suit your bedroom, living room, or even car needs. There’s also an 18 month guarantee and a 500+ bend lifespan that show durability, which is always a worry with cheaper options. However, the port feels a little tight which could prove an issue when removing it as you don’t want to yank it too hard and damage the inside.

Simple but still reliable, the Cable Matters USB-C Cable is the kind of cable you turn to when you’re sick of the flash and the fizz of the more expensive options which promise you the world but just end up leaving you at the altar. It delivers fast transfer rates and universal compatibility that stands up to more expensive options, and it’s also durable.

While it may get a little hot during use, you should expect that from something so cheap, and as long as you don’t charge overnight, you’ll be fine. It’s not a USB Type-C cable that will set the world alight (in a good way) but it does the job it needs to with no fuss or hassle.

If you’re looking for the best USB-C cable and don’t consider money an issue, the BELKIN USB-C Cable is perfect. It’s easy to plug it and remove and compatible with a wide range of devices that will give you no issues unless you’ve bought something sketchy off eBay.

The 10Gbps data transfer is the real main event, though and it can transfer movies and music quicker than you’ve ever seen. It’s also future-ready, so it will work with next-gen devices without a problem. We only wish it was longer, as 3’ doesn’t allow us to charge and browse without digging out the old extension plug.

Our final pick and also choice for the best value USB-C cable charger is the MARGE PLUS USB-C Cable. At less than $7, it’s an absolute steal, with 3 in a pack, 5 colors to choose from, and a generous 18 month warranty, it’s just what those who don’t care about labels and brands are looking for.

The double braided exterior is durable and the wide compatibility stretches across a range of devices for almost universal acceptance. The connection is solid but might be too tight with some devices which you wouldn’t think is a bad thing, but for those who like their ports in pristine condition just be careful.
