I can’t help but rave about the convenience of 2-in-1 USB-C cables. With so many devices in my collection that charge via USB-C, these cables have become a lifesaver. It’s not uncommon for me to need to charge multiple devices simultaneously, and these cables make it a breeze. Whether I’m charging my Nintendo Switch and MacBook Air or my Google Pixel 9 Pro and Kindle, I can do so without hogging multiple ports on my power adapter.
Right now, there are a couple of models on the market that offer lightning-fast 140W passthrough charging speeds at their lowest prices ever. Anker’s braided option, available in black or white starting at $14.99 ($3 off) from Amazon and Anker, is one of them. If you’re willing to splurge a bit for a longer cable, Native Union’s recycled 6.5-foot Belt Cable, with its animal-free leather strap, is discounted to $23.99 ($6 off) in black or a stylish zebra pattern directly from the manufacturer.
Although the two cables vary slightly in length, their functionality remains the same. Both cables support USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps when connected to a data source, with only the first connected device able to transfer data. Additionally, they intelligently distribute power based on the devices connected, prioritizing the higher-powered device for faster charging.
Pairing these cables with a high-quality wall adapter can further enhance your charging experience. Anker’s four-port 140W charger, featuring three USB-C ports and a USB-A port, is a great option. Originally priced at $99.99, Prime members can now snag it for $79.99 on Amazon.
