Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable is a great way to spend $15

I’ll never stop talking about 2-in-1 USB-C cables. They’re really nice to have, because at this point I’ve collected several devices that charge via USB-C. It is also common for more than one device to need recharging at the same time, and this is where this comes in handy. I can charge my Nintendo Switch 2 and MacBook Air from work, or my Google Pixel 9 Pro and Kindle, without using more than one port on the power adapter.

There are two models offering up to 140W charging speeds that currently match their lowest price yet – including Anker’s braided option, which is available from Amazon and Deny In black or white starting at $14.99 ($3 off). If you don’t mind paying a little more for a slightly longer cable, the Native Union 6.5-foot Recycled Belt Cable, which features an animal-free leather strap, is down to $23.99 ($6 off) in black or a zebra-like pattern Direct from the manufacturer.

While the length of the two cables is slightly different, the function is identical. Both cables support USB 2.0 speeds of up to 480Mbps when connected to a data source, and only the first device connected to the dual-headed cable can transfer data. They can also automatically allocate power across devices, depending on the speed of your wall adapter, sending more wattage to the two higher-powered devices you have connected.

There are plenty of wall adapters that pair well with these cables too, the kind that provide fast charging speeds for your connected devices. One example is Anker’s 140W four-port charger, which offers three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Normally $99.99, it’s currently down to $79.99 Amazon For core members.
