Grab Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable on sale for just $15!
I can’t stop raving about 2-in-1 USB-C cables. They’re incredibly useful, especially since I’ve accumulated a ton of devices that charge via USB-C. It’s not uncommon for multiple devices to need a charge simultaneously, and that’s where these cables shine. I can easily charge my Nintendo Switch 2 alongside my work-issued MacBook Air, or my Google Pixel 9 Pro and Kindle, all while using just one port on the power adapter.
Right now, a couple of models that support up to 140W passthrough charging are at their lowest prices ever. Anker’s braided cable is available in black or white for just $14.99, which is a $3 discount. If you’re willing to spend a bit more for a longer cable, Native Union’s eco-friendly 6.5-foot Belt Cable, featuring a stylish animal-free leather strap, is priced at $23.99, down $6, and comes in black or a zebra-like design directly from the manufacturer.
While these cables differ slightly in length, they offer the same functionality. Both support USB 2.0 speeds, maxing out at 480 Mbps when connected to a data source, and only the first device plugged into the dual-headed cable can transfer data. They also intelligently distribute power between devices based on your wall adapter’s output, directing more wattage to the device that requires it most.
There are plenty of wall adapters that work great with these cables, providing fast charging for your devices. For instance, Anker’s four-port 140W charger features three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. Typically priced at $99.99, it’s currently available for $79.99 for Prime members.
