1. Mcdodo USB C Cable

This is a high-tension molecule cable that is claimed to be at least 3 times stronger than competing nylon cables. Thanks to this, it offers an impressive tensile strength, easily passing over 45,000 swing tests.

While it’s one of the most affordable USB-C cables you can buy right now, it does not mean it cuts corners. It comes fitted with an advanced E-Marker chip to adequately handle the 100W output for fast-charging phones, laptops, and more all while safer and stable so that your devices remain out of harm’s way.

2. Amaitree USB C Cable

This fast charging cable can be used to connect two USB C devices within a maximum distance of 4 ft. It does offer fast transfer speeds so photos, movies, music, and documents can easily be shared between your iPhone and external drive using this compact and sleek cable.

The company claims this cable is made using good quality materials and offers industrial-level strength. This is in part thanks to the “strain relief design” which is claimed to help this cable survive more than 20000+ plug in and out.

3. UGREEN USB C Cable

It is also claimed to remain safe and stable for long usage as it comes fitted with an E-mark chip. This is built-in smart chip intelligently matches the required current by the device to greatly reduce the heat produced.

This, UGREEN claims, improves charging efficiency by 80% and charging stability by 90%. The UGREEN USB C Cable is also capable of high transfer speeds to the tune of up to 480Mbps. It’s created using aluminum housing and nylon braiding to make this cable good for prolonged usage.

4. UNI USB C to USB C Cable

This makes it easy to charge not only your phone during use but also laptops while carrying out energy-intensive tasks such as gaming. Much like the option above, this one too uses an E-Mark chip to improve energy efficiency and keep the heat in check.

However, it does retail at a slightly higher price point than the UGREEN USB C Cable we mentioned above. Apart from the price, there’s nothing much to differentiate the two. Both offer a nylon braided finish. However, in our opinion, the UNI USB C to USB C cable is a more appealing option to the eyes.

5. Ocetea USB C Cable

Yes, the Oceatea USB C Cable flaunts a neat display that can help the user see in real time how fast a given device is charging. For the iPhone 15, it’ll be 20W, but for other supported devices, this number can go up to 100W.

While this looks cool, it also helps in confirming if the connected device is receiving the expected amount of power from the wall socket. Apart from this, it also comes with a built-in E-mark chip to guard your devices from higher than required voltage. Overall, it’s a good option if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary for your new iPhone 15.

6. Baseus USB C Cable

It’s also backward compatible with 140W/100W/60W and below charging speeds, making it a very versatile and future-proof option. So buy this if you’re getting this for your iPhone 15 but want to make sure it remains good enough to charge even the iPhone 20 in 5 years.

Its connectors are made using premium Zinc alloy and offer a sleek and elegant mirror finish to enhance its looks. This is a nylon braided cable which again provides good protection against wear and tear, extending the cable’s lifespan.
