Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
notes: 1) USB-IF certified meaning the design has passed stringent tests to make sure it will deliver as stated 2) It is not for data (USB 2 speeds), but really just for power. 3) Overkill if you dont have any devices that uses 240W, but is on sale, so if you need a charging cable this is a good one to get

Since we're talking a few dollars cable, why get something limited to power only when for roughly the price of 2 of these (less if you wait for discounts), you can get a 240W cable with LED indicator and 40Gbps data transfer:
I love this company's products. I've bought dozens of their LED charging cables and had a problem with one after some months and they quickly replaced it.
Also, data or charging only, ANY 240W cable is going to be thick and stiffer than a 100W cable. It's unfortunate but necessary to have the thicker wires for the higher power.
FWIW, 240W cables have very limited use right now as practically no device supports 240W through USB-C. The large majority max @ 100W and a few use their own proprietary charger to get 130W or more to a laptop for charging. So if you have a gaming laptop with a big 230W charger with a barrel connector and try using using a 240W usb-c charger and this cable, you will most likely only get 100W.
240W cables will be the same thickness as 100W. Because they increased the voltage to 48V , but the max current is the same. Might need slightly more insulation but the voltages are still quite low.
So, I suspect everything that used to be labeled 100W cables is now getting labeled as 240W, without much change, maybe just the e-marker chip in the cable. Might still be a good idea to get 240W for compatibility if it's the same price and quality.
The 240W barrel connector on my Dell gaming laptop is only 20V and has a really thick cable. USB will only do 100W at 20V. So the laptops and chargers will have to handle 48V to take 240W down these slimmer cables. I haven't seen anything that supports the higher voltages yet.

Sorry to inform you, but I have 240W charge-only cables and I have 100W cables and the 240W are thick and not flexible, unlike every 100W cable I have.
