The only thing better than a durable, braided USB-C cable is one that can charge two gadgets at the same time. That’s exactly what Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable does, and it’s $4 off its normal $25.99 price if you’re an Amazon Prime member. With it, you can charge a duo of gadgets ranging in power requirements, from your phone and Steam Deck to your wireless earbuds, controller, tablet, laptop, and whatever else you own that gets a charge from that near-ubiquitous port. As for me, this will be great for charging the electric snot sucker that we use with our infant. (This is a real thing — parents will know.)
In a world where you can easily find 3-in-1 cables that can charge via Lightning, USB-C, and micro USB, I totally get it if you feel like a two-headed USB-C cable isn’t the most novel idea. But what makes Anker’s cable stick out is its uncompromising charging speed. The cable can support up to 140 W speeds when connected to the right wall adapter, meaning it can deliver full-speed charging potential for a high-end MacBook Pro. It can adapt to the wattage necessary to recharge other gaming and non-gaming devices at their fastest-possible charging speeds, too.
Whether you need something that can deliver top speed charging or not, this Anker cable is a good, futureproof purchase if you’re fully invested in devices that charge via USB-C. I do wish that it was longer than four feet, but it’s a flaw I’m willing to overlook since this single cord is doing the job of two.
