Anker’s fast-charging USB-C cables are on sale! Get 2 for only $10
I don’t know how things are for you, but in my house, I have little gremlins that pop in when I’m not looking to steal my charging cables. There’s no other way to explain how they keep disappearing! So, if gremlins visit your house too, or if you just need some high-speed charging cables to take advantage of your high-speed charging plugs, then you might want to grab this two-pack of Anker USB-C cables for just $10 on Amazon. This flirts with the lowest price they’ve ever been, more than a year ago. The best part about these USB-C cables is that they deliver charging speeds of up to 100 watts. That’s more than most power blocks can even output, so you’re good to go for several years at least. You can use these to charge your phone, laptop, or anything else that connects via USB-C. And these are excellent for use with fast-charging power banks, too. These are 6-foot cables, the perfect length for plugging your phone into its charger at night while still being able to doomscroll comfortably in bed instead of hanging off the edge. And with this being a 2-pack, you no longer have to fight with your spouse over who gets the “long cord.” You can each have one for your own sides. These cables are protected with braided nylon, which feels premium and makes them more resistant to bends and other potential causes of damage. This deal on this two-pack of Anker USB-C cables won’t last forever at Amazon, so hurry up and snag it for just $1 while you can. It’s a brilliant price for long, fast-charging USB-C cables.
