The Anker USB-C to USB-C Cable is a 6-foot braided cable rated at 240W of charging power, USB-IF certified, and finished in a bio-based nylon exterior that resists tangles and withstands 20,000 bends. USB-C connectors on both ends work with laptops, tablets, phones, earbud cases, and anything else that charges over USB-C. Data transfer speeds top out at USB 2.0’s 480Mbps, since this cable focuses on charging rather than high-speed data transfer or video output.
An affordable USB-C to USB-C cable for all your potential connectivity uses
USB Power Delivery 3.1 is the standard behind the 240W rating, which is the maximum wattage the current USB-C spec supports. A 240W-rated cable is required for the newest laptop chargers, since a lower-rated cable would cap the output even if the wall brick and laptop both support faster charging. The actual wattage delivered depends on the wall adapter and the device, so plugging into a 30W adapter charges a phone at 30W and a 140W adapter charges a MacBook Pro at 140W.
An example of what 240W enables in practice, a 16-inch MacBook Pro reaches 50% charge in about 26 minutes on a 140W wall adapter and this cable. An iPhone 16 Pro Max reaches 50% in about 29 minutes on a 30W adapter. Charging speeds scale automatically with the adapter and device, so no manual settings or switches are involved on your end. USB Power Delivery negotiation between the two ends of the cable also automatically selects the highest supported wattage.
Bio-based nylon is the material Anker uses for the outer braid, with 46% of the exterior made from plant-derived materials such as corn and sugar cane. The braid resists knotting and tangling in a laptop bag or coiled up on a desk, and the 20,000-bend lifespan means the cable holds together through years of daily plugging and unplugging. Connector housings are reinforced at the base of each USB-C plug to prevent fraying at the stress points where most cables fail first.
USB-C to USB-C connectivity works with every laptop, tablet, phone, and accessory that uses USB-C on both ends, from a MacBook Pro to a Nintendo Switch to a set of AirPods Pro. Data transfer speeds top out at USB 2.0’s 480Mbps rate. The cable is a charging cable first, engineered around Power Delivery rather than high-speed data or video output. A silicone cord organizer also ships in the box for keeping the cable coiled between uses.
Anker sells a range of USB-C cables at different lengths, power ratings, and material builds, from silicone-coated 60W cables to armored 240W braided models like this one. The 6-foot bio-braided 240W cable shown here is mid-lineup for charging a laptop, tablet, or phone at full speed. At $10, down from $12, the current sale takes $2 off the list price. Anker’s 24-month warranty comes standard on every cable in the line.
