No brainer to pull the trigger on this for $2.50 each cable.

10ft might be a bit too long but I'm sure it'll be able to make it work

Seeing 9.99 for 2 with no coupon at that link. Dead deal? Or maybe not everyone gets the coupon?

from amazon review: [amazon.com]

Not a 5A/100W cable. Voltage drop and cable resistance are greater than allowed by specification.

Section 4.4.1 of the USB-C Cable and Connector Specification states that the maximum permissible IR voltage drop on Vbus and GND shall not exceed 500 mV and 250 mV, respectively. At 5A drawn on Vbus, this implies that the total cable resistance of Vbus and GND must not exceed 150 milliohms.

The measured cable resistance of Vbus and GND for the 10ft cable is in excess of 390 milliohms, which exceeds even the maximum resistance allowed for a 3A cable.

It is a promo code so you have to apply manually at checkout. Reviews are pretty bad though. Lots of cable stops charging or didn't work from day one. Took a chance on them but might be garbage.

they get away with it probably because most people will just use it to charge their new iphone, so they can lie about specs and if anything bad happens it just gets burried by people reviewing it and saying it works with their phone.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNVOTE THIS AND MARK IT AS NOT A GOOD PRODUCT

In addition to voltage loss/resistance issues, why are all cables these days "braided"? What wrong with basic thermo plastic?

Geez, I don't want to collect all the pet hair that lies behind the nightstand!

Coupon code still working. Just add it manually before placing the order.
