Reddit reviews Anker PowerLine+ C to C 2.0 cable (6ft), High Durability, for USB Type-C Devices Including Samsung Galaxy Note 8 S8 S8+ S9, iPad Pro 2018, Google Pixel, Nexus 6P, Huawei Matebook, MacBook and More

Try anker I have had one in my car and one for my main charging and both are absolutely fine after more than 2 years of use! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LNA0XCU?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Edit: spelling...

I really like Anker products. I have a bunch of their cables and battery packs. Solid products.

Cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LNA0XCU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_F3CACbGF7BG5F

Charger: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GWNYC4W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_71CACbGENHN6Y

I've used quite a few different chargers with my MacBook and MacBook Pro. Yes, a 3A charger for a phone or Chromebook will work fine to charge it overnight or keep it topped up while you work under most scenarios. If you're running VMs, software builds or video editing, the Pro will eat more than 12W and you'll be at a minor deficit but it I'll get you those extra hours. I've also used the MacBook 30W charger (with a PlugBug for travel) with the Pro.

My favorite chargers now, though, are the Anker USB bricks with a type C port on them for travel and home. I use the 40W for travel. It only drives the 3A/12W on the C port but it is nice to have the other ports to charge a phone, headphones, watch and spare battery. Then I keep the 60W version at my nightstand. The USB port on that drives 30W (verified with the System Information app). I use their USB C cable as well. It doesn't do 3.0 transfer speeds but for charging it is perfectly fine and super durable.

I got a USB C HDMI dongle that works with the Nintendo switch and out of curiosity I plugged in my note 8. It booted into Dex. I didn't realize you couldn't just use it anytime.

It was this [MYRIANN 1080P HDMI Type-C Adapter Dock for Nintendo Switch, TV HDMI Converter Cable for Nintendo Switch (Silver)] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07539N7JR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_mc7TOFbPCLFLN)

But it needs more power than a regular USB brick so I got

These work with the switch and my phone went into Dex mode when I plugged it in with these.

I've been using C2C cables from Anker since my S8 days:

They have great build quality and they're nylon braided.

I also use them to charge my XPS13 sometimes, which also charges at 45W.

I have a couple of these for phone and other devices.

Can verify they fast charge

I bought the 30w Anker charger Charger atom PD
And this usb c cable USB-C cable

Here are some accessories I use and love.

Cables:

[6' long USB A to C](http://www.Anker.com/ PowerLine+ USB-C to USB 3.0 cable (6ft), High Durability, for USB Type-C Devices Including the new MacBook, ChromeBook Pixel, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nokia N1 Tablet, OnePlus 2 and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LNAAEJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SD1PybKFCP918)

Charger:

[5 port (1 C and 4 A) charger](http://www.Anker.com/ USB Type-C 40W 5-Port USB Wall Charger, PowerPort 5 for iPhone 7 / 6s / Plus, iPad Pro / Air 2 / mini, Galaxy S7 / S6 / Edge / Plus, Note 5 / 4, LG, Nexus, HTC and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0196JFWXK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JH1PybWXH9ZMT)

That 5 port charger has been amazing. It is routinely use to charge a combination of my daughter's tablet, my Pixel, my wife's iPhone 7 Plus, my Xbox One Controller, mine and my wife's Kindles, and random devices from visitors with no problem. It has charged tablet and both phones simultaneously without any issue and at a very normal rate. I also use my OEM wall charger in the bedroom and the OEM Nexus 6P charger for travel.

Cases:

[Caseology Paralac](http://www.Google.com/ Pixel Case, Caseology [Parallax Series] Modern Slim Geometric Design [Black] [Textured Grip] for Google Pixel (2016) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4HN5XV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_iL1Pyb58J56Y8). This is my work case ( I work 7 days on and 7 days off so I use it every other week) and feels and looks great but isn't as thin as I'd prefer. I generally prefer no case or just a dBrand skin.

This is my home/out and about case. [The Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear.](http://www.Spigen.com/ Ultra Hybrid Google Pixel Case with Air Cushion Technology and Hybrid Drop Protection for Google Pixel 2016 - Crystal Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LX6CDHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6M1Pyb6KC420F)

Honorable mention if you want the thinnest case (note: This case won't fit over a dBrand skin.) [Niilken Nature series. ](http://www.Google.com/ Pixel Case, Nillkin Nature Series Clear Soft TPU Case Back Cover [Ultra Thin] [Slim Fit] for Google Pixel - Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N8VGLYK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DO1PybYSP36XD)

I also found these [Yootech glass screen protectors](http://www.Google.com/ Pixel Screen Protector [5.0"] [2-Pack] [Update Version],Yootech Google Pixel Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Google Pixel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MPY1RPC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oP1Pyb5Y22PEZ) to be more than good enough but they cover screen only and not full front (supposedly due to the subtle curvature of the fines edge).


Of course you can never go wrong with a nice dBrand skin for that finishing touch.


Hope this helps.

I use an Anker Power line and Cable Creations. Both are great. The Anker is 6' the cable creations is 10'. I use the Google type C brick for both.

Anker Powerline+ are my go to cables. My pixel wont be here for a month, but have already bought my some cables to go along with it.
They have USBC to USBC, USBA 3.0 to USBC, pretty much any combo you'd need.

30W does not work at all for me, I had an Anker battery with that output and my RBS would not recognize it. Go with the 45W. Here's what I use:

I would recommend Anker and Aukey from my experience

For 3rd party I've recently found Anker (as others have pointed out) to be top notch:

Wall Charger

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196JB1ZS/

Portable Battery Charger (will also need a micro USB to charge the charger)

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0194WDVHI/

USB 3.0 to USB C

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNAAEJ2/
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0119EIHTG/

USB C (won't work with the portable charger I listed)

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNA0XCU

I do get rapid charging on my USB 3.0 to USB C cables when being supplied by an appropriate adapter (that Power IQ thing Anker does ;) ), so don't be too thrown off by not going USB C to USB C.

I only have one dash charger (It's just called One Plus Fast Charge now) and I haven't tried the new cables on it as its at work.

USB-C to C: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01LNA0XCU

usb3 to C - 3ft: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01HF0YGCK

usb3 to C - 6ft: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01NGTUJ4Y

True, I will eventually get one of the larger chargers (probably one of the Anker ones with the C-port and ~4 A-ports as well) but just wanted something relatively inexpensive as a backup while traveling so I didn't need to worry about taking the one that came with it.

I did read some review someone did on this sub that tested out an ~80 watt charger and said it seemed to charger slower than the included ~30 watt one.

For reference, the cables I did end up buying yesterday were these for the C-to-C and these for the C-to-A. I've always had good experiences with Anker. I also picked up this hub, again mainly for traveling so I could hook it up to the TV if necessary. Doesn't have power pass thru but figured it would suit my needs for the near future and I could use it if/when I upgrade my MBP and loose all the ports on that.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNA0XCU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have had this one for some months now and I'm very happy with it. I totally recommend it, very fast and reliable. Also I combined it with this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNA0XCU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have been using this charger and yes, it does rapid charge the Pixel. It is pretty heavy for its size and seems to be very top quality: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G5B069C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use these cables with that charger and yes, the cables matter when it comes to rapid charging: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNA0XCU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Anker cables are nice! I bought this one because it’s red. And a lot longer than the stub that Apple includes in the box.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Durability-Including-Matebook/dp/B01LNA0XCU

If you need to buy a cable you're looking at ones that are PD or Power Delivery 2.0 compatible.

I love these Anker cables https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LNA0XCU/?coliid=I353B2E3K7OS3T&colid=1XUOXJ13FSK5Y&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

The channel I linked actually has a comparison video of the Dell and the Lenovo, check that out too.

I prefer the Dell ones because they tend to last longer and I also like the carbon fiber / metal design. I know people who are more into keyboards and so prefer Lenovos. The Aero is a gaming laptop with matching dimensions, not the best for portability.

If you can, have a look at them in person, see which one you like best.

For a charger, you can look at something like these:

• brick: https://smile.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Dynamic-MacBook-Nintendo/dp/B07W8M7T5W/
  
• cable: https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Durability-Including-Matebook/dp/B01LNA0XCU/

I've been using these for the longest time. Absolutely excellent quality, and they're braided too. USB-a to USB-c and USB-c to USB-c

Grab the Anker power line cable I absolutely love it! https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Durability-Including-Matebook/dp/B01LNA0XCU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=usb+c+to+usb+c+anker&qid=1555971504&s=gateway&sr=8-3

I bought great cable from Anker 6ft Grey or Red available. Quality product and works perfect

Thanks for the help, I've ended up going for this anker cable

Oh man, i had the same question for weeks. I decided to buy the Google Pixel charger and with no doubt in my mind is the absolutely best charger for the Switch. Get it!.

The other "problem" was the USB C cable. I ordered 2, one from Amazon Basics and one from Anker. Those are the best. I really really like the Amazon Basics cable, is the one im using with my Google Pixel. The Anker cable has better quality (well, not really. Is just sturdier) but is double the cost (I bought it so i can have one to use with my Power Bank). If you only need it for the Pixel then get the Amazon Basics cable.

Hope that helps!

Anker is good: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-PowerLine-Durability-Including-Matebook-Gray/dp/B01LNA0XCU/

but Amazon's own brand is fine, particularly for £5.49: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Double-Braided-Type-C-Silver/dp/B07CWFNWBW

For some reason, the plain plastic cable is £6.99 on .co.uk (I bought a two-pack of these for €7 on .de a while back): https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-USB-Type-C-2-0-Cable/dp/B01GGKZ1VA/

Of the above, I have all three. Amazon's braided cable is a quality product and I'd definitely recommend it for day-to-day use. I use it to charge my laptop and my Pixel; the plain ones are 'extras' in the car or the kitchen drawer.

These are all USB 2.0 cables, so they'll be slow for moving data but will still charge as fast as any device allows.

ETA: hell, the 3m Amazon braided cable is still only £5.49. I'd get that one for sure.

Looks like an Anker, if anybody is interested.

I really doubt you need to worry about frying your devices. Also, if you want to charge to the max, you'll need new cables. Those USB A cords don't usually cut it. You'd be better off buying some usbc to lighting cables and usbc to usbc cables to keep around the house.

Don't worry about 3.0 cords either. Sounds like you'll need 2.0 cords only.
