Anker USB-A to USB-C cable. (alien.top)

Did a search and could not find anything good. So I’ll try to ask:

I’m looking for a good USB-A to USB-C cable. I hear Anker does good stuff. When I look on amazing all I seem to find is double packs for about 10$.

Feels like there should be a better cable than one for $5/pce.

Any good tips?

I bought this pack from Anker: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BPCZLFS4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

USB A to C is probably one of the most common cables out there. That’s why a quality one is relatively cheap. Shop the brand and specs, not price.

Does USB allow the same charge speeds?

I have 3 different Monoprice usba to usbc and all work great on my iPhone 15 pro and with car play.

Just make sure you get one rated for 10Gb operation.

All these “charge only” and “480Mb” versions can DIAF.

Bought the Anker usb a to c the size of the usb c end is a gotcha as it won’t fit through the gap in my apple silicon case. One to watch out for. Really good value otherwise I just can’t use it

I bought those from Anker with two cables in it and the USB-C end fits through the gap in my Apple Silicon case just fine (15 PM).

Better than what? Is the Anker cable lacking something important? Do you not think it will be durable or reliable? Do you want to buy some $1 trash cable?
