Every single 6' USB A to C and USB C to C cable I have received from them via purchase or warranty replacement has died. I have JSAUX, AINOPE, and Anker cables that have seen similar use and still work.
I have never been one to swear off a particular brand for quality, but this is one of the very few I have to throw out there.
YMMV of course.
edit - lmao, why is there a thumbs down here? God forbid I'm providing some feedback on my experience with a brand...
While I think 60W is completely fine (maybe even overkill) for average consumers that only care about phones, tablets, headphones, etc., for a tech user, I agree that holding off and buying a cable that is rated for 100W and has a higher transfer speed is a more future-proof buy. I've also never heard of the INIU brand.
I've yet to have an Anker cable break on me, but I have had one of their car chargers separate from it's housing (currently held together with tape because the warranty window expired).

will wait for 100w or 240w cables.

6 feet is my minimum length for charging cables now. I guess because I use my phone while its charging lol
I have both the braided Iniu cable from the other deal (actually, both the 240w and 100w versions) and the braided Anker 100w cable Between the two, I like the Anker the least because of how thick and inflexible it is. It's almost like a normal PVC jacketed cable with a braided sheath over the top of it for looks. The Iniu has a very similar build quality as the Anker, but is more flexible, less expensive, and has an indicator light on one end, which is nice. The one thing I don't really like about the Inui cables though is that the 100W and 240W seem to use the same size cable, so they're also pretty beefy. All of these cables are USB 2.0, so I was kind of hoping they'd be smaller, especially at the 100W size.
I wish that more companies sold 2' and 3' cables more often, since 6' cables are overkill for most of my use cases. Having a 6' cable in my car is more of a PITA than a benefit, especially since I really only need 2' at the most to make it from my charger to my phone.
60W cables are still perfectly adequate for most current charging needs. Even when using my new Dell Latitude 5330 or my 6th gen Lenovo X1 Carbon, they only seem to top off at 60-65W max, even when charging from a completely dead battery and using a 100W capable power adapter and a 240W cable. The device you have needs to accept 100W+ of power, and I personally don't have many devices that will accept that. Even my Ecoflow River 2 only has a 60W port on it for both input and output. I do have one very large power bank that will charge at 100W, but even the Baseus Blade advertises 100W charging but steps down to 60W after a few minutes due to heat.
If you can get 100W cables for the same price...sure, I'd get those instead for future proofing purposes. However, if the 60W cable is thinner, less expensive, handles your charging needs, and is getting used on a charger with <=60W output; I'd get that instead. You'll always have USB C devices that charge at 60W or less for the foreseeable future.
Before Cable Matters i was using Mono Price. until they drop the ball. then i went to Cable Matters.
PS. i never like the braided cables.
