Anker or Belkin? They are all from the same chinese factory.
The ones that come w/ phones are usually the best I've found. Try to locate some Samsung or Motorolla brand cables if you don't want the e-waste crap that amazon sells. Buy 2 at a time so you're ready for the next breakage. |

Depends on what you're doing with it.
just charging? Want something that lasts? Get something that's braided Charging and syncing data? Get a name brand (Anker, Ugreen, Apple, Belkin). Make sure it's both a "charge" and "sync". if charging a laptop or larger tablet.. you want a cable that says "PD" or Power Delivery. |

I buy the USB-C cables in like 5 packs. The colored braided ones from amazon. We use them at work with R&D and a device farm. We put more "plug it in and un plug it" cycles on our cables than the common man by a factor of like 10. And we pipe data over them millions times more than the average user.
IMO, they hold up exceptionally well given the $3-4 price tag for each one. Eventually they give up the ghost and only work when plugged in a certain direction. My highest quality USB-C cable is a monster thick $40 apple thunderbolt cable. I tend to only break out that bad boy when I need thunderbolt data transfer performance. SSD over thunderbolt can saturate the bandwidth of the USB-C cable. I step it up to the fancy cable and get double the data transfer speed. |

Get high watt rated ones - you can actually push 100 Watt through these - if you get one rated for it. Get one video rated for even better quality than that.
I just get AMAZON multipacks or even TEMU. I like the ones with the little LED DISPLAY of how many Watts are flowing, neat. And also means they made it rated high enough to actually flow high watts. |

Most USB cables are crap. Braided outside sheaths are much better. Anker and some of the higher end brands gets you a little more robust metal end. Use case dictates what you need to look for. The above listed advice on charging, data and PD is correct. Where I work now we power and get touch screen data for industrial kiosks via USB C. |

Depends on use. If uploading data I’d recommend a couple brands with 3.2 2nd Gen cables but generic rough use outdoors? Probably Nomad or if you want Walmart type access I guess Anker.
GE Phillips has some cables at the Navy Exchange for $11 if you want cheap and use military bases. There’s plenty of brands depends on use but most are 2.0 |

If uploading data this guys reviews are relevant so for my phone and purposes his review was helpful although he didn’t cover a couple brands I expected he mostly works off Amazon listings buys them reviews them then hopes YouTube pays him for views or Amazon referrals. I don’t use Amazon so I bought direct from the companies since none were available at the military base exchanges

Anker braided are all I use but make sure the cable you are buying does what you want it to do.
USB-C is the connector not the capability of the cable. Some are charge only. Some charge and transmit data. Some are capable of Thunderbolt. |

Apple contributed it to the new QI 2 wireless charging standard, so any Android phone that will support it will have the magnets in it. I really dig that feature, though I am using an iPhone currently. I've got a few other accessories that work with MagSafe. |

Another for Anker, but I did buy a 5 pack of 6ft cords branded JSAUX from Amazon 2 summers ago that are mainly used at work and on the patio that have held up great.
ETA: they charge and can be used to connect your phone to a PC for data transfer. |

The one that came with my GoPro is sturdy and I've been using them for data transfer on different devices and for charging. I even brought with me on a few trips. Only problem is it's a short cable.
