After 3 hours of research and analysis of 10 models currently popular on the market, we have concluded that the best USB-C cable is the Rampow USB-C
Rampow USB-C
This model is intended to be very simple and affordable.
It does not have any type of protection on its wire, but has a high transfer
speed. It is intended for those who want a classic cable.
6.99 € on Amazon
This one-meter cable allows you to charge a device and
transfer data at a speed of 5 Gbps when you connect it to USB 3.0 ports. Its
advantage lies in its construction: it is made of nylon which makes it robust
against bending. However, it does not have anti-corrosion connectors. Note that
this model is guaranteed for life by the manufacturer. The Rampow USB-C cable
is therefore robust and fast at the same time. It is excellent value for money
for people looking for a model without accessory features.
UGREEN 90 Degree Angled USB C Cable
This model is the only one in our comparison to have an
elbow (bent) connector. This feature increases its lifespan and facilitates its
handling. Its performance remains correct.
9.99 € on Amazon
This 1m USB-C cable can transfer files and charge
multiple devices. Its strong point, however, lies in the fact that it is bent
(bent). This is to prevent the connector from bending over time, as normal
cables might due to the weight of the wire. This shape also allows you to
insert it more quickly into your device since this “crease” tells you which way
your cable is oriented. It has shields that give it better protection against
interference, and also make it more flexible.
Anker Powerline II 3-in-1 cable
This model allows you to connect different tips to
charge devices in micro USB, but also in USB-C and Lightning. It is aimed at
those who have a lot of peripherals.
12.99 € on Amazon
This 90 cm model is more than a simple micro USB cable:
it has a series of tips that allow you to connect USB-C and Lightning devices.
This is a huge advantage, especially when you are on the move since it reduces
the number of cables to carry. This cable does not have a shield or gold
connector, but the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. This model is
therefore intended for people who are regularly on the move. If it is not more
robust than the average, its lifetime warranty allows it to be replaced in the
event of a fault.

How did we make our choice?
USB-C cables correspond to a standard that appeared in
the summer of 2014 and succeed micro-USB cables . They can withstand no less
than 10,000 connection and disconnection cycles.
Here we are targeting USB-C cables that can be connected
to a USB socket. We have also chosen cables between 90 cm and 1 m, but be aware
that the majority of models are offered in several sizes.
To help you make the right choice and find a USB-C cable
that meets your needs, it is necessary to conduct research on essential
criteria:
Transfer capacity : some USB cables, often white in
color, only allow devices to be recharged. We have made sure to choose only
models capable of both charging and transferring data by connecting them to a
computer.
Shielding : this is an important criterion depending on
where you want to install your cables. Shielding is recommended if your cable
is entangled with others, or if they are subject to strong electromagnetic
interference. Under normal use, it is not necessary.
The shape : some micro-USB cables have “extensions” that
allow you to change the tips and thus charge a multitude of peripherals.
Generally more expensive, however, they are very practical, especially when you
are on the move. Others are bent (bent). Their advantage is that they are more
durable, since the connectors do not bend under the weight of the wire.
However, check that they can fit properly into your devices.
Based on these elements and after having gone through
numerous user reviews and specialized tests, we have been able to establish our
selection of the best USB-C cables on the market, each in its price range.

handling. Its performance remains correct.
9.99 € on Amazon
This one-meter USB-C cable can transfer files and charge
multiple devices. We regret, however, that it is not USB 3.0.
It has gold-plated connectors to prevent corrosion and
ensure an optimal connection with your devices.
Another advantage of this cable is that it has shields
which give it better protection against interference, and also make it more
flexible. Finally, the manufacturer offers an 18-month warranty on this cable.
The strong point of this cable, however, is that it is
angled (bent). This is to prevent the connector from bending over time, as
normal cables might due to the weight of the wire.
This shape also allows you to insert it into your
television more quickly since this “crease” tells you which way your cable is
oriented.
This cable is aimed at people who regularly plug in and
unplug USB-C cables and want to easily know which way the connector is, and
also want a cable with a high lifespan.
This design has a cost, however, since it is more
expensive than our best cheap for lower performance.
