Belkin BoostCharge 240-watt charging cable
Before you buy: Its data rate is up to 480 Mbps, so choose it for charging and basic syncing rather than as a fast backup cable.2
The alternatives
Other contenders
Anker Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable 3 feet
Choose the three-foot Anker Prime for a nearby desk charger when you want a short USB-IF-certified lead; it leaves less spare cable than the 6.6-foot Belkin.13
For moving big files fast
Choose the Nomad ChargeKey for a short connection to a fast storage device: it supports up to 10 Gbps, provided both connected ports and devices support that rate. Its usable cable length is 12 cm.12
For charging from the couch or bed
Choose the ten-foot Beats cable when the charging outlet is farther from your seat: it gives more reach than the 6.6-foot Belkin. Its up-to-240 W rating still requires a compatible device and charger.111
For a key ring or pocket
Choose the Beats 8-inch cable for a pocket charging lead: its 20 cm length stays compact, and its up-to-60 W rating suits a compatible device and charger.10
