Ringke 90 Degree USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 USB-C Cable [1M / 240W] Right Angle Type C to C Fast Charging Nylon Braided Charger Cord Designed for iPhone 16 15 Series, Samsung Galaxy Series etc. – Black

I’ve known Ringke for a while, initially from their excellent-quality phone cases and screen protectors. I like that Ringke is now branching out to the ‘cables and accessories’ market now with a product such as this.Now, you might say as a debut product, this USB cable is unnecessarily expensive, but let me explain. This USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 USB-C cable is just about everything you’d want in a USB-C cable today. Not only is the headline feature the 240W PD capability (5A capable), but it’s also the fact that this USB cable allows data transfers up to 20Gbps (=2500MB/s or 2.5GB/s). In simpler terms, short of the latest Thunderbolt 4 and USB4 specifications, you’re getting just about the best USB3-series can provide in both data transfer speeds and power delivery capabilities. This, absolutely includes video transmission of up to 4K @ 60Hz (so long as your device has DP Alt mode capability). I’ve tested this cable to charge 100W-capable ASUS laptop, 45W Super Fast Charging 2.0-capable Samsung Galaxy S24+, 25W Super Fast Charging-capable Samsung Galaxy A54, and even to perform an update for my DualSense Edge controller via the cable from my PS5. With all areas of my life that involve a USB-C cable, I’ve found Ringke’s cable works as advertised. Combined with the fact that it has tough braided cable design and sturdy connecting ends of the cable, I think the build quality is about on par with the rest of the top contenders on the market.With all of the above in mind, perhaps the price for what you get is justified, but do you NEED the cable? Well, that’s another question in and of itself. While I think this cable helps to “futureproof” somewhat, I’d say if you don’t necessarily need everything it offers, then there are cheaper alternatives out there. Frankly, the 240W PD capability is overkill (as most smartphones can take up to roughly 100W), and the workflow that actually requires this type of data transfer speeds are niche (considering other USB 3 variants will be able to help most people with their needs). At the end of the day, you’ll have to decide what the right balance between price and performance is for your use case, but Ringke has you covered as another solid option on the market, should you wish to proceed with a cable that gives you everything you could want.

Nice solid cable, it charges my macbook with no issues, if anything the cable might be a little too rigid
