Black on sale now too. I didn't need 100w, bought these nylon anker ones for 12.99 earlier today to have a few extra around the house. I know power line are superior, but worth cancelling and ordering those instead?

100W black is not a 2-pack, only a single cable for $16.99

Can somebody test the cable? I have a feeling that at this price, they are betting on most people not having a phone that's capable of charging at 100W and they've only enabled the 100W charging identifier in the circuitry despite the cable quality (and thickness) cannot really deliver 100W

I tested the Uni Cable on my MacBook Pro 16 and I was getting the full capacity charge with that cable. I'm tempted to order and test these too

Thanks. If you ordered this cable, please let me know if it really charges at 100W, not just the 100W charging protocol.

If you want to be sure, then get USB-IF certified cables.
Currently amazon has pacroban 100W 10Gb/s USB-IF certified 6ft cables for $8.

Never heard of this brand but cheaper and lifetime warranty. Seems like it would be good as long as it's still around in the future like anker. They must have had to pay for the certification and chip and all that, why isn't everyone going for these instead?

Where does your "feeling" come from?

Couldn't you just search the reviews for the phrase "100w" to see that others have tested it with their power hungry laptops and confirmed it works as expected?

Reviews are full of shills, he obviously wants the quality SD recommendation we all know and love.

Charging a laptop with USB-C is a more likely use case of a 100W cable, assuming you have a 100W USB-C charger to go with it.

A good use case for this is if you buy a separate travel charger as those don't generally come with cables.
Or if you have a pet who likes to bite your cables.....
