I’ll never stop gushing about 2-in-1 USB-C cables. They’re really nice to have because, at this point, I’ve amassed so many devices that charge via USB-C. It’s also common for more than one to need recharging at a time, which is where they come in handy.
Anker’s discounted 2-in-1 USB-C cable is a great way to spend £9 (£3 off). It’s fast, smart and a more efficient use of your wall adapter’s precious ports. A couple of models offering up to 140W passthrough charging speeds are currently matching their lowest price to date – including Anker’s braided option available from Amazon and Anker in black or white starting at £9 (£3 off). If you don’t mind paying a bit more for a slightly longer cable, Native Union’s recycled 6.5-foot Belt Cable, featuring an animal-free leather strap, is down to £17 (£6 off) directly from the manufacturer.
While the two cables are slightly different lengths, functionality is identical. Both support USB 2.0 speeds topping out at 480 Mbps when connected to a data source and only the first device connected can transfer data. They can also automatically allocate power across devices, depending on the speed of your wall adapter, sending more wattage to the higher-powered device.
There are plenty of wall adapters that pair well with these cables too – the kind delivering speedy charging speeds to your connected devices. One example is Anker’s own four-port 140W charger offering three USB-C ports and a USB-A port. Normally £65, it’s currently down to £59 at Amazon for Prime members.
