The Best Fast Charging Cables That You Can Buy

Even though you cannot buy time with money, you can save time with money. In this era, fast charging cables are undeniably one of those items for which you pay money to reduce your waiting time while your device charges. Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 5 is the latest fast charging technology in the industry as of now.

You are misinformed if you think that only the power brick determines how fast your device charges. The charging cable plays an equal role as well. We have put together a list of the best fast charging cables that you can buy.

1. AmazonBasics

There is truly no sector in which Amazon has not ventured into with their sub-brand AmazonBasics. Its USB-C to USB-C cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps and a charging speed of up to 3 Amps. The double braid design allows the cable to be bent up to a 95-degree angle 2000 times without breaking.

AmazonBasics also offers a USB-A to USB-C cable, which is also double braided. It also supports 10Gbps data transfer and 3 Amps charging. It is offered in two lengths: 1 foot and 3 feet. AmazonBasics offers its cables in four distinct shades for those who want a difference from the regular white and black cables.

2. Anker

Anker is a forerunner in the charging industry. The Anker Power Line III Plus USB-C to USB-C cable is USB-IF approved. It is six feet long. It can deliver charging at a maximum power of 60W. Its fiber braided cable can withstand 35,000 twists and jerks.

Anker also offers a Thunderbolt 3 cable certified by Intel. This cable supports a charging speed of up to 100W and a data transfer speed of up to 40Gbps. The Thunderbolt 3 cable is backward compatible and works with older versions of USB-C chargers. However, it is only 1.6 feet long.

3. Cable Matters

Although Cable Matters may not be a well-known name in the charging industry, it is a budget-friendly option. The gold-plated USB-A to USB-C cable facilitates data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps and a 5V charging capability. The gold plating makes it look premium at an affordable cost.

Cable Matters is one of the leaders in releasing a Thunderbolt 4 cable with charging support of up to 100W. It supports a data transfer speed of up to 40Gbps and is significantly long at 6.6 feet.

4. Belkin

Belkin’s Thunderbolt 3 cable is a good choice for a fast charging cable. The Thunderbolt 3 technology facilitates video resolutions of up to 4K and a fast-charging speed of up to 100W.

Although none of the smartphones available in the market support 100W fast charging as of now. You can make use of it while charging your laptops and tablets. The Thunderbolt 3 cable is 2.6 feet long.

5. Apple-exclusive Cables

Don’t worry, Apple fans. We have got you covered as well. Apple has its own Lightning port, which makes things complicated. It offers USB-C to USB-C charging cable for i Pads and Mac Books. Sadly there is no protection against bends and twists.

Apple’s USB-C to USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cable is the best in the Apple charging lineup. Despite its short length of 2.6 feet, you can use it to charge six devices at the same time. You can transfer data at a maximum speed of 40 Gbps and charge at a maximum of 100W.

The USB-A to Lightning or the USB-C to Lightning is the one to go choose for charging your compact Apple devices like iPhone and iPod. They are available in two lengths: 3.3 feet and 6.6 feet. The USB-C to Lightning cable supports charging with 29W, 61W, and 87W adapters.
