Baseus 100W USB-C cable for $8: Super-fast charging for your devices

Everybody needs at least one properly fast USB-C cable for charging, whether it’s for your phone, tablet, laptop, or what have you. If you’re still wasting your life waiting on slow charge times, you owe it to yourself to get a fast cable—like this one by Baseus that’s now on sale for $7.99. That’s a small price to pay for super-fast charging!

This Baseus USB-C cable supports up to 100 watts of power, which is fast enough for most laptops while in use. Of course, you’ll need an equally powerful charger block to supply that much power, but I’m assuming you have that already. If you do, then a slow cable will be the bottleneck that throttles your charging time, in which case you’ll need this.

Need it for data transfers, too? No problem. This cable also supports data speeds up to 480 Mbps, which isn’t the fastest on the market but still plenty fast for the occasional transfer of documents, photos, and even videos. But it doesn’t support video output, so don’t expect to use this cable for connecting, say, your laptop to a USB-C monitor.

And it’s designed for longevity. This cable has a nylon-braided exterior to resist wear and tear, and it will endure thousands of bends as you coil it up and toss it into your bag, drawer, or pocket. At 6.6 feet long, this cable is convenient to use anywhere, even in bed without having to hang over the edge while your phone is plugged to the wall.
