USB C to C Magnetic Cables at a Decent Price?

gadgetguy on 29/05/2022 - 21:52

I have a VR headset with USB C charging port. I'm finding myself swapping between an external battery pack (with USB C port) and direct connection to a UBC C charger quite often. In both cases the cable I'm using is C to C.

I'm concerned about the port on the headset, seems like a magnetic cable would be a good option. Amazon has loads but they are mainly USB A to C - best one I've seen is $19 for 4 cables.The few I've found that are C to C are $35 and up, each.

Anyone seen C to C magnetic at a reasonable price?

    actually i have one, brand is essager, from aliexpress.
    cheap, super good quality, but i got the short 1m cable which is not enough for VR (bought during promo for charging phone).

    i can confirm the quality, can charge oculus, and can transfer data aswell from pc to oculus (if you need).
    bradided cable, everything good. magnet is strong too

      Haven't checked in detail but it looks like those are not "rotatable" if that's a word! I'm referring to the actual magnetic "head".

      Plus the ones I got (other than the amazon ones) also have a pivot on the end of the cable which is even nicer. See my links below.

    I bought some from Amazon in the end, not cheap but they work. Might use aliexpress for some more now that I have some to keep me going.

      Which one? Long? How much compare with aliexpress?

        AliExpress will take 4 - 6 weeks. I always pay extra for "AliExpress Standard Shipping" and it hasn't failed me yet so that needs to be factored into the price. Free shipping will take up to 3 months+ and has no tracking.

        I also ordered a 1m and 2m from here:

        https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/125306483797

        on May 30th and they arrived on June 8th.

        I ordered this set from amazon on June 3rd:

        https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B09P9LX265

        and they arrived on the 13th.

        These are interchangeable with the ebay ones.

        What I'm looking at on AliExpress are these:

        AliExpress shipping is over $6 but they discount it the more you order (some sellers don't) and there's free shipping over $55.

        I will probably order 3 x 1m and 3 x 2m all USB C in different colours plus some extra micro and lighting heads.

        Might also get some of these:

        https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003970178494.html

        to give me flexibility.

        As you can tell, I'm going all-in on magnetic cables. At least this particular type.
