2-Pk 6.6' AINOPE USB-C to USB-C 60W Nylon Braided Cable (Right Angle)

Probably because it's a heavily promoted brand constantly pushed by Paid SD Staff Influencers. Also it's USB 2.0 data transfer speed (480 Mbps) - which isn't uncommon for "charge" cables, but also makes the cable a little less universally useful. drawback info like that also seems to be omitted on these type of posts 🤔

These no name companies that seem to pop up repeatedly have their fan base, but they are also basically advertisements. there are many generic cheapy cables out there, it's just a question of which are decent/good value. just because these are posted often and get upvoted doesn't inherently mean they're better... at the same time, just because they are shilled doesn't mean they are bad.

Ex: here's another often promoted brand JSAUX with a 2-pack 100w cable for a dollar more (also posted by Paid SD Staff Influencer)

I've been getting these during 3 lightning deals since 2021
($6.07 $6.07 $5.53)

so $5.15 is the lowest so far

yea it's a shilled brand, but all of them are still working well and i don't need fast data speeds, only fast charging so I'm fine with that

Some people are complaining that this is USBC 2.0 charging only... Yeah it's two for six bucks... Of course it is.

Unless you see specific details saying otherwise it's safe to assume most lower cost USBC products are going to be 2.0, charging only.

You're not going to get full service USB 3.0 or thunderbolt for $3 each. So just seems like a strange complaint
