USB-C to USB-C Cables? Nexus 6P

beaver2233 on 22/04/2017 - 23:13

My Nexus 6p's charging cable (type-c to type-c) has started to fall apart.

Can't find too many options for these cables. Anyone have any recommendations?

    What brand did you have?

      Was the one that came with the phone. I know there's a fair few problems with type-c cables being compliant and what not. Unfortunately alot of the deals/bargains I'm finding are type-c to type-c.

    I have one of these

    It works OK. It charges but I can't test it for data. Under $10 delivered.

      I use the Blitzwolf USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data and that's pretty good. I haven't used the type C to type C, but their quality is pretty good.

      This is looking like my best bet….If my cable can survive the next month or so…

        I bought one of these a few months back too. Cable is fine but I have only used it for charging.

    Mine failed months ago. JB Hi fi gave me a Belkin one to replace it. Fast charging works so no complaints here but I think it's a bit pricey.

      Yeah at $39, it's a bit pricey. Was looking at the official Google one (from the Google store) for $35 shipped (was 1.8m long as well). But ughhh so much for a cable haha.

      Belkin support is second to none though, so any problems and they'll get you sorted out with a replacement if there's a fault

    Kogan's got one on sale for $6 with free shipping.

    Haven't used it myself so can't comment of quality or compliance.

      I bought two (it was a bundle deal) Kogan USB A to USB C several months back. I plugged in and the USB ports on the phone and PC went offline. Needed a reboot of both to get things going. Same result with the other cable. I didn't hang around to check on charging.
