This is definitely a first-world problem, but here we are…

I am looking for:

Lightning > USB-C
USB-C > USB-C

cables from the same manufacturer in a braided or silicone style in red. Seems like a simple enough thing to find, but no it isn't. I have spent hours trawling through AliExpress, Amazon and eBay to find cables from the same manufacturer (so they look the same) but I just can't seem to find anything.

I can find a nice looking USB-C > USB-C cable, and then when I look for the same cable but with a Lightning end, it just doesn't exist - and vice versa. I know there are lots of dodgy cable manufacturers, but ideally I'm looking for something from a reputable manufacturer like Xiaomi, Anker, Baseus or the like.

Something that looks like this - this cable looks great! But they don't make a USB-C to USB-C version of the same cable!!!!

So does anyone have any hot tips as to where I can source such a thing?

Thank you!

Why would you want the same colour cable with different heads? Wouldn't that make it harder to determine which one you need to use?

  👆 this tbh.
  
  I use red for lightning, black for usb-c, and grey for micro. Makes it much easier at a glance to grab the right one.

Mate, went through the same exact exercise when pimping out my pc mod. 1st stop would be amazon basics cables:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082T6SW2D/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWC3BSF/

Stocks level is an issue with Amazon though, just keep checking once in a while.

However, cable spec is another issue. Not all USB C cables are the same. Just need to make sure whether the USB C cable can do what you want it to do.

Get a USB C to lightning adapter then you only need one cable.

Cover them in heat shrink?
