many reviews say the 100w 3.3ft ones don't do data.

These have become my favorite "cheep" charging cable. Have 6 or 8 sets of these with no issues, super flexible, and even the silicone cable tie is nice. Have not tried the 3.3 versions it all 6ft cables I have support usb2 data. I thought the green led indicator would be annoying but I've come to really enjoy having it

Between the two (100w & 240w), I would recommend the 240w. Both cables use the same size/thickness wiring, so there's really no benefit to the 100w cable.

These are good cables, especially for the price; you could do a lot worse for $2.50/ea. Note however that these are not USB 3.0 capable (at least the ones I have) but do appear to work at USB 2.0 speed.

Seems like a good deal, although I've done no research on these cables. But just from a basic electrical standpoint it just seems suspect that this company would use the same thickness and length cable for different charging rate wattages. Something just doesn't seem to add up. It's pretty much all physics when it comes to charging rate and cable size.

Been trying for the last 8 hours. Codes don't work.
Likely scam-bait from the seller. And as others mentioned, the same thickness for 240W as 100W, and multiple reviews say "no data" when it clearly advertises data transfer...I'd avoid.

Worked for me. There is a redeem button under the 30% coupon checkbox.

No data is perfect for me so i can plug into public places with usb-c plug and not worry much.

I think the company just uses one standard cable type then use the USB-C e-marker chip [totalphase.com] in the connector to set the charging rate. This way they are able to sell at two different price points but not have to use two different cables.

That's just a guess, as I have no way of knowing if the actual gauge of wiring inside the nylon woven sleeving is the same. However, I did start off with the 240w cables then picked up the 100w ones later on, and they are basically indistinguishable if not for the printing on the connector. My hope was that the 100w ones would be a bit thinner since the 240w was relatively thick, but they look and feel like the same cable.

When I read the e-marker chip off both cables using my FNB58 USB C tester, it does confirm the cables report their rated wattage. After getting the 100w ones in, I thought maybe they just re-labeled the 240w ones but they are both rated as advertised. If your cable has no e-marker chip at all, it's stuck at 60w max charging, otherwise the e-marker chip is responsible for setting your max charge rate. I have no clue what these e-marker chips cost to produce or add, but you can get 100w e-marker chipped cables (with integrated LED charging rate displays) off Aliexpress for $2 so I'm guessing they are very cheap to implement.

I believe the new USB-C standard that brings 240w charging is doing so by providing the same amperage (5A) but at 48v instead of 20v. This means the cable doesn't need to be thicker to supply more wattage compared to pushing more amps. However, I don't know how many devices are on the market to take advantage of 240w charging yet, so this is likely untested.

There's a lot of confusion surrounding the USB-C protocol that I keep hoping will clear up over time, but so far it just keeps getting more and more complicated.

This voltage argument is correct. 240W vs 100W is basically higher voltage. The wire gauge is set by current (in both cases that's 5A), so you do not need thicker conductors for the higher power. In theory, you'd need better insulation for higher voltage (to prevent dielectric breakdown), but these voltages (48V vs 20V) are both less than insulator breakdown voltages.

Looks like the 30% discount coupon for the 240W, 6.6ft cables is no longer available.
