Make sure to remember to take into consideration that these use the usb 2.0 standard. Terrible for docking stations or any type of data transfer. Fine for charging.

Mix and match however you want from the following list as long as the total is over $29.96 before discount. You get $4.99 off each product. There appears to be a limit of 2 of each products.

The answer is most likely profit. As long as they continue to manufacture 2.0 cables, they can continue to mark up and sell 3.0 cables at a higher price. If they eliminate 2.0 from the picture, then 3.0 will no longer be considered "premium" since there will be no reference point for comparison. Consumers usually like to have the "better" or "best" thing. Same reason every company in every industry releases different tiers (ie. basic vs plus vs premium) of similar, if not the same, products/services at each rollout.

Serious question, why do manufacturers continue to make USB2.0 cables? The difference is 4 tiny wires. The increased cost of that has got to be under 10 cents at volume. And that tiny increase in cost should easily be offset by being able to charge an extra buck and/or increase in volume sold compared to similar priced 2.0 cables.

It's 2021. USB 3.0 has been out since 2008. The cost is miniscule. If not now, when.

These cables seem terribly reviewed. I'd worry about durability. Monoprice seems to be having sales on these a lot lately.

100% agree.

to OP's credit, 2.0 is right in the title.

Perhaps the fire sale of these is a sign that time has come. Hopeful?

WRONG. What your suggesting is conspiracy between dozens of manufacturers across multiple countries and across multiple continents.

What's happening is overbuilt 2.0 old-stock being repackaged as high wattage charging cables.
It's not a conspiracy... It's basic economics. It's the same reason DVDs are still being sold alongside BDs, why 1080p monitors/TVs are sold alongside 4K, why Macbook Airs are sold alongside Pros, etc. Manufacturers aren't dumb - they project out sales and make products to meet estimated demand. They wouldn't overproduce YEARS of stock to sell at a loss. They're still making money on it and will continue to milk it until society deems it obsolete by no longer purchasing them. It will happen when the next great advancement knocks USB 3.x off the podium.

The fact that this is showing up as a deal means that people are still buying them which reinforces that statement.

Anyways, solid deal for charging cables.

You doubled down on flawed market conclusion. Any old or startup cable manufacturer could spot a market opportunity and move in on the USB-C 3.0 PD opening left over in the marketplace. It's that simple. That majority of the market wants USB-C with 3.0 and PD.

This is old design, on old molds and dies, being repackaged as PD capable. There's a market for these, though I suspect that lots of people are buying out of ignorance. And lots of people have a specific use for charging only.
