But if you plan to keep it in one place for the most part, or if you have room to spare in your bag, the Nomad’s added bulk might not be too bothersome. So, to test USB-C–to–Micro-USB cables, USB-C–to–Lightning cables, and three-in-one cables, we mainly focused on the build quality of the sheath and housings, and we made sure the metal connectors fit snugly into corresponding ports. With various standards and charging technologies at work, it is much harder than it should be to work out what a cable can do. Certified cables usually have the relevant logo on the connector (for example, Thunderbolt cables have a lightning bolt).

From protecting your posture to adding style to your setup, it’s important to choose the right chair for your needs. Thunderbolt 4 brings various improvements mostly related to the video signal (support for two 4K displays or an 8K display). Few devices are Thunderbolt 3 capable, but if you need top data speeds (up to 40 Gbps) and 100 W charging, this cable is the best we’ve found.We then plugged the USB-C end into the ammeter and the Pixel and noted the maximum power-draw readings on the ammeter. Based on our testing of Lightning and Micro-USB cables in past years—we sent more than 70 cables to a former NASA engineer, who tore them apart to examine their internal components— we’ve learned that there’s little difference in their charging or data-transfer capabilities. To test power draw, we used the ammeter, the Pixel, and a USB wall charger, and noted the maximum power-draw readings on the ammeter.

and meets all electrical, mechanical, and environmental standards, ensuring a safe and optimal user experience. It is rated to carry 100 watts, meaning it can be used to power the beefiest MacBook Pro, and it can transmit data at up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbps). In contrast, our Belkin and Anker PowerLine II picks both have this certification and performed as well as or better than this cable in our testing. Even cables that appear identical may perform differently when you plug them into your phone or laptop. It tops our Best USB Hubs and Docks guide because it plugs in via the attached USB-C cable to give you two USB-A 3.

Pair the USB-C Charge Cable with a compatible USB-C power adapter to conveniently charge your devices from a power point and take advantage of fast-charging capabilities. When you use it with non-Thunderbolt USB-C devices, it functions as a USB-C cable that supports 100 W charging and USB 3. Gen 2 Cable is something of a rarity, a USB-C–to–USB-A cable with fast data-transfer capabilities up to 10 Gbps.
