  • Aliexpress. Google USB C to USB C Cable Short and the first link will show something similar to the Amazon one for about $4 delivered to Aus.

    • do they actually support fast charging speeds though?

        The first link i saw is a 13.5cm C to C cable that says 5A delivery up to 100W. You can search around Aliexpress. There are tons of these sort of cables.

      • If it is 1/10 as long, it only needs 1/10 the conductor area for the same resistance. So probably.

    I bought the Baseus 0.5m from Shopping Square, but you can get them on Aliexpress. It supports fast charging and I find Baseus on the better end in terms of quality

    • guess i should have specified locally available too

      • How fast? If you pick aliexpress "fast shipping", which is free if you spend over $8, it got to me under 2.5 weeks. Faster than buying things over East for me lol

        • I'm pretty sure "available locally" means he needs it urgently, not in 2 and a half weeks.

          • @Flying Ace: I mean, without knowing where he lives I presumed he meant Aust shipping. Amazon has been taking ages for me if it's not next day since pre Christmas

      • I can vouch for Baseus 0.5m cables.

        Is it possible to use longer cables that you currently have while you wait for them to arrive whether from shopping square or aliexpress?

    I brought one of these recently for the Steam Deck to plug in an external SSD mounted on the back: https://www.amazon.com.au/Fasgear-USB-Cable-Thunderbolt-Comp…

    It's an excellent cable, but very rigid. One of the shortest I could find that supported fast charging and data transfer.
