I don’t know what the situation is like in your home, but I think I have gremlins that come out at night to steal my charging cables. There’s really no other way (cough cough) to explain why they always go missing. Surely it can’t be my tendency to loan them out or shove them into bags I use a couple of times a year and forget all about.
Well, if you have gremlins like me, it’s not a bad idea to stock up on charging cables, especially super-fast USB-C cables like this one by Anker. Right now, you can get a two-pack of 3-foot cables for $8 or a two-pack of 6-foot cables for $10. Not bad at all!
These are 60W USB-C cables, which means they’ll recharge your devices quite fast as long as you have a power adapter that supports up to 60W of charging. And these are USB-C-to-USB-C, by the way, so you’ll need a USB-C power adapter. They’re covered in braided nylon, so they’re a lot more resistant to twists and bends and will last you longer.
Obviously, if you like charging devices while at your desk, you can get away with the shorter ones. But if you like to charge your phone while doomscrolling in bed, the longer ones may fit your needs better.
Stock up on charging cables (or upgrade the ones you already have) with these Anker two-packs now that they’re even more affordable. Whether you get the 3-foot cables or the longer 6-foot cables is up to you.
