USB C to USB C Cable, INIU [2m] 100W PD 5A USB C Charger Cable QC 4.0 Nylon Braided Quick Charge Type C to Type-C Cord Compatible with Samsung S21 S20 Note iPad MacBook Pro Huawei Xiaomi Switch etc.
Great item that does probably more than what you need. I’ve tried lots of non-samsung cables and this is by far the best i’ve bought. Quality construction and I have no doubts about reliability. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
These cables scream quality … from the packaging to the cables themselves. High quality braiding, high-quality ends with a great led to show charging (one that isn’t bright enough to keep you awake if charging on the bedside table). There’s even a quality cable holder attached to the cable. Finally, price was brilliant …. I’d recommended these 100%
Bought this to go along with the powerbank we recently purchased. As USB-C cables go, this is a really high quality product, braided cable with strain relief & full metal connectors and housing. Does the job its intented to do and will hopefully last longer than some of the other cables I’ve had.
Only regret is not opting for the two pack but I will be ordering more of different lengths.
This is the second one of these I have bought (to use elsewhere and not replace this one!). It’s not an exciting purchase, but chances are you want to charge something via USB-C to USB-C. This does it at a great speed (including Samsung PPS protocols). I like the little LED In the one end of the cable that lights up when you connect a device to it. Quality of the cable is very good. My previous one has lasted well over a year and is still going strong. So, I hope this one does too.
I recently bought a Google Pixel 8 Pro and wanted to buy a new cable to allow rapid charging and be long enough to reach up from under my computer desk to the desk, and this meets all my requirements. Feels a quality braided cable and there is a nice green light at the end to indicate charging. I can confirm this cable allows ‘rapid charging’ of my Google Pixel 8 Pro, and fast charging of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 6 Lite.
Great cable, works just as described. Excellent price for a 2-pack. I really like the visual indicator (green light) that tells me the cable is properly connected and supplying electricity.
Not too much to say about these cables but they do perform exactly as they say on the box. Would I recommend the pro,definitely, they’re tangle free, rapid charging and generally feel robust..
Can’t really say to much about this product, apart from so far it has done what it says it does and charged the mobiles very quickly, the Mrs as a Samsung s23 the lead I had got prior wasn’t worth getting, took couple of hrs from dead to full but this lead total opposite charged her phone in under an hour but had charged it too 80% in 30mins, so no complaints from me
Only after witnessing an overloaded USB-C cable catch alight at work, I thought it was important to find a good quality one.
I got two of these leads on offer at a steal of a price, they turned up well packaged and immediately felt like they were good quality.
It’s a lead, it has a great length and the braiding on it gives it ease of use. It’s a good quality connector which I’m using with my laptop dock and HP laptop and it works really well.
For the price I paid these are fantastic value for money and I was really impressed with the performance, everything charges so fast!
2m length is perfect. The little green light is pretty cool as the amount of times I have left the charger on but not connected, that little visual sign is good.
Got this for work after previous cable was too short and stiff to be good for a usb headset. So far used this cable with no faults, quality feels good and so far no drop outs on calls (when using headset wired)
Charges my s22 ultra at 45w ultra which is excellent, however I thought that the green light was a charging indicator to show how much battery your phone has but it’s just static and it kinda annoys me at night now.
Excellent charging cables for powerful GAN chargers. I bought a 200W GAN charger but there was just one cable along with the charger (which was a bonus as many other chargers don’t come with cables at all). These extra cables are needed to charge multiple devices fast and safely. Totally satisfied with these cables as they do the job well. Sturdy construction and quality is good. Recommended.
Amazing product had it for 4 months now with no problems at all! Super charges my phone in no time! I have a google pixel 7 pro and if i charge it in my wall it takes around an hour, using this battery pack expected it too take about 2 hours or so but i was shocked when it charged from only 25% too 100% in like 30-35 minutes i was stunned! Would highly recommend this item too anyone looking at getting a powerpack too charge anything
I really like this lead. It’s amazingly good quality, far more durable than the Apple item supplied with my phone, incredibly quick to charge/transfer data. If you have a C to C iPhone, get one of these – it would be worth it at several times the price.
I have had various USB-C Cables for charging my laptop + phones. These are by far the best. I love the fact on one end of the cable there is a green light so you know the cable is actually connected and charging your device. It fits the ports well and unlike other cables it is still working. I did not want to write a review early on because a lot of these types of cables will work when you buy them but not take very long before they stop working and/or stop fitting properly in your USBC ports.
This is even better than the cable that came with my Macbook Pro, the official cable costs a ton of money in comparison and is far less durable.
Nicely made, good length, good price, strong cable covered cord that moves and bends nicely, with an led indicator BUT it’s connected to a high speed socket & it still just says it’s charging normally
On further inspection the socket says “fast charge 20w” so that will be limiting the advertised “100w fast charge” of the cable. Either way I am happy with my purchase
These cables are brilliant for Fast Charging your phone with. They are very strong cables and unlike so many I doubt that they will break easily. I also like the the green charging light on the cable.
To fast charge your phone you will need to get a 65 watt plug which is available on Amazon. It’s a type c charging plug.
It has a cable tidy thing on it. It’s so simple but it’s really helpful for keeping tidy when not in use. It works perfectly and you get a warranty for the product by scanning the code on it when it arrives.
Quality cable and the power light gives a visual cue if ever there is an issue with the power. I was able to troubleshoot a power issue with my MacBook Air, it turned out that the power adapter was faulty.
Easy to fix. Also with Apple adopting USB C across all its devices, this cable is truly universal.
I have a super fast powerbank and wanted to replace my faulty cable which keeps giving me trouble charging my devices. I have to keep nudging it to make it charge. Now, I don’t worry about the faulty cable and not to nudge it
This INIU 100W cable is better specifications and fits the bill. A fast USB-C to USB-C charger cable rated up to 100W and this product caught my attention.
The 2ft long cable is the ideal length I need and it feels semi soft, durable and good to hold, but importantly, strong and durable build from end to end. I like how the ends are compact and slim in design and encapsulated in the nice reinforced sheath and have durable ends that don’t go weak and collapse like my old one.
The ends plugged into my phone and powerbank with a nice snug click and feels firm and steady. My Samsung S20+ Ultra had 90% charge and after using the fast cable, my phone was 100% in what felt like 5 mins!
The cable really does help to work fast with my fast powerbank and not bottle necked with slower speed cables.
I am very happy with the quality of workmanship and performance of this fast performance cable.
Absolutely awesome to see my charge so rapidly. Very good value product.
If you have a recent smartphone chances are that is requires a Type C
fast charging cable, the ones that are sometimes supplied are way to short and flimsy.
With the correct charger this cable is a vast improvement and has a light on the plug
the goes into the phone to confirm that it is charging.
Very highly recommended.
Only just received the product and plugged it, but it seems to work well. The 2m length is extremely useful when the plug socket is behind the sofa. The braiding makes it feel more robust than the cable it replaces. And I really appreciate having a light on one of the connectors confirming it’s definitely working. A few reviews state that the longevity may not be great but, having only used it for three minutes so far, I can’t really comment on that!
My kids have a talent for breaking charging cables, I don’t quite understand it, but these are high quality and have lasted where others have perished. I initially bought a couple to make sure our laptops got the full amount of power from the chargers we have (my work laptop is especially hungry). I love the fact that a small green light comes on when it’s actually charging (makes it obvious that the plug is actually on, and the cable is properly plugged in), my devices get the charge they need, so now that my kids have destroyed a couple more of the basic cables I figured I’d buy another two of these decent ones as replacements. Definitely worth it!
I’ve had these for a little while now and they hold up perfect and they’re long enough that I don’t need an extension lead. The wire hasn’t frayed like other ones I have had, these are great.
My phone supports fast charging and this charger does that in no time. 12% to 53% in just under half an hour. The plug matters too of course, not just the wire so I do have a plug that supports fast charging from Samsung. Together they work perfectly.
This is the fourth time I have purchased a set of these cables. I have now got a set everywhere I would need to charge my devices. Home office, bedroom, living room, my work office, my car and the wife’s car. I first bought a set four years ago and give them a lot of abuse. So far, I have only had one cable split on me, at the joint between the connector and cable.
I am able to charge iPhone, iPad 12.1, S22 Ultra, and S8 Tablet.
I find these cables value for money. Having purchased an entire jungle’s worth of them over the years, these are at the top end of hard-wearing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fourth order of these cables - I keep on ordering them!
Very well made cable and worth the money. Very good for charging but not great for data. However the seller is up front about that. They don’t sell it as a data transfer cable.
This cable is very durable and supports fast charging I like the fact that the end illuminates to let u know that it’s charging, support fast charging but occasionally the end of the cable can get warm the only reason for 4 stars
It is great at the moment I just hope it lasts. The wire is so thick and sturdy what you want with a charger wire and not the usual material it’s not rubber so it’s durable and you plug the charger in and it lights up green when charging love it so far definitely recommend
Got this cable for the son who has gone through other cables in quick succession.
So far so good with this cable.
Is a great length at 2 metres
Would recommend.
Although I have a 45W charger specifically for my S23 Ultra, I notice with just the 100w cable that my phone gets hot when charging, which may damage the phone’s battery and, or get less juice from it. The cable is perfect for phones that support 100W charging, not 25w and 45w.
The INIU USB C to USB C Charger Cable is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable charging cable. At 2 meters in length, the cable provides ample length for those who need some extra distance between their charging port and device. The price of the cable is also great value for money, especially considering its length and fast charging capabilities.
The cable itself feels sturdy and well-made, which is important as it suggests it will last a long time without fraying or breaking.
Overall, the INIU USB C to USB C Charger Cable is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and versatile charging cable. Its sturdy construction, length, and fast charging capabilities make it an excellent value for money
Mine must be a faulty one because it charges much slower than any other charger I have running on a 65W charger which I know works perfectly.
Tried it on a pinecil digital display soldering iron as well any other cable let the soldering iron get to over 100 degrees with ease however this usb lead wouldn’t get it past 30-40 degrees even when left for a long period of time.
Going to have to give it a 1 star because of this.
Edit ** The customer service of this company is amazing and because of this I have now given 5 stars. They contacted me to let me know they were disappointed that I wasn’t satisfied with my purchase and then sent me a new wire replacement and even a plug as well, the new wire works perfectly and the 35W plug is a fantastic bonus. They did all this for free off there own back and had great communication the entire time I can’t recommend this company enough now due to there passion for customer service and satisfaction!
It is difficult to find a cable that allows you to charge fast and transfer data fast. This one charges fast and it’s cheaper I guess (I haven’t tested data transfer yet).
USB C to USB C Cable, INIU 100W USB-C Charger Cable, good sturdy cable with a green light on 1 end when plugged in, did not notice that it was any quicker than any other cable for charging.
After putting this review the company reached out and sent a pair of new cables for FREE, customer service is fantastic and i only put the review on just to warn people, but with a company that does go above and beyond its fair to say weather these break or not. Iniu has great service
Only being using the charger for a short duration so cannot comment on durability. That being said it certainly charges my iPad faster than OEM charger and feels very sturdy.
I waited before review as usually a catch.
These leads are excellent. Green light is great addition and are super charging cables that are actually correct length . Brilliant!
Very happy with these cables. My baby ripped the original and I had to get a new one but was worried it won’t support super fast charging but it does and the cable is bendy enough that I don’t have to worry it would easily snap like the last one.
I’ve got through quite a few cables in my time but these ones are the best I’ve used. Really good quality that you can see and feel. I use them every day and there has been no fraying. They also have a sturdy clip for rolling up the cable.
Ordered it as my original Samsung cable just stopped working. Had various ones over the last few months all of which would not super fast charge. This cable fit into my Samsung charger, then my phone and I was greeted by the ‘super fast charging’ symbol for the first time in months…..Great cable very sturdy and works great on the Note 10+…..
UPDATE: Lina at INIU reached out to me and offered to fix the issue. Customer service was excellent and that’s all you can ask for really. I’m changing the stars to 5/5 as these cable do seem to be top quality, but, time will tell how long they last. Be assured though the company will sort you out if they fail.
Product looks and feels great quality. However both stopped charging my phone after 4 months. Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Very good quality by the sound of it. Durable and does fast charging. My only grip is that its a bit rigid. I m buying another and will seek mire flexibility.
I purchased this to charge my 55 watt QC 4.0 phone. I just wanted a longer cable. It is rated for up to 100 watts so expected it to turbo charge. It does this absolutely fine at the same speed as the cable in the box which is a full charge of the 5000 ma battery in about 45 minutes. I haven’t had them long but the physical construction looks good with flexible connectors. So far very happy to recommend.
The cables certainly feel very robust and appear to be manufactured to a good standard. The braiding around the cable allows a good degree of flexibility (OK not as much as plastic sleeving) whilst also being durable – I think they’ll certainly last me many years.
Despite being 2m each in length, the cables seem to have a low impedance meaning better power delivery. Using my non-PD/QC charger, the current reached the same maximum output as my low resistance 0.5m cables. The real benefit came when using the cables with my certified-PD charger which reached the maximum charge rate for my phone within seconds of connecting. I would say that the 100W rating is correct. At this price point, the performance of the cables is much better than I had anticipated. I use the cables only for charging (for which they are designed primarily) so I cannot comment on data rates.
I also want to give a shout out to Karlin at the seller (TopStar GETIHU Accessory) for the excellent customer service. A problem with the order was fixed super quick and with no fuss. Tip marks to Karlin!
This is a well made product – it feels solid and sturdy.
However, initially I thought the cables were faulty as I have a known working Anker USB A & C charger by our bedside which I use for my Pixel 4a. These cables refuse to work at all with that charger whereas other USB C to USB C cables work just fine (rapid charging).
Luckily, I have a more recent Anker charger as well – an A2056 – so I tried the same cable & phone with that and the cables worked fine.
There’s a lesson here – these cables only work with a modern PD USB C charger – recent versions of PD are important.
Had that been made clear in the description, I’d have given 5 stars, but I’ve just wasted an hour determining what the issue was and writing this stupid review so that others don’t go down the same rabbit hole…
Very nice cables and were very durable.. that was until 9 months later of normal use.
Attached photograph of one cable that is now exposing the wires inside the cable. Btw I never pull on the actual cable, but on the plug itself, so I gather it’s the glue inside that’s deteriorated to allow the sheath to come away from the plug.
UPDATE:
I received a message out of the blue from Lina the after sales rep. Informing me that they had seen my review & decided to refund the price of the cables, but also send a replacement free of charge. She also stated the 3 year warranty means just that. Its very strange but a very pleasant surprise for a company to do this without being contacted first.
I was also informed by Lina that it was a ‘manufacturing issue but we have improved the material to avoid such issue’ so hopefully these new cables will sort the issue.
Bought these in July & I have been using them to charge my Google Pixel, Dell Latitude laptop, torch & other bits, along with friends MacBooks, Chromebooks, phones, etc.
Overall, it’s a mixed bag.
The cables itself is sturdy & doesn’t show any sign of wear. The plugs (which in lesser cables goes loose in the socket with wear) remain great, though the body of the plug is a bit big for some devices (their fault, not INIU).
The indicator LED is half useful and situation depending, too bright. Nothing that can’t be solved with a bit of tape. I would prefer if it had a “dim” mode for when it’s connected to power without a device connected so you know the charger is plugged in properly, especially when the socket is out of site, but that’s a nice to have
The rubber cable tie is something I thought would be a novelty – that I’d be annoyed with it in a week & cut it off. As it stands, I use the cable ties every day as it allows me to neatly coil the cable up in my pocket saving the trouble of a tangled mess – not that these cables really tangle anyway.
I’ve checked both cables & can’t find any to the jacket on either.
All in all, great cables & great plugs, albeit with some minor niggles.
Where they join is where the disappointment begins.
My big hope for these cables was, with their ample strain relief, that the classic “break at the boot” would be avoided. Alas, as you can see from the photos, the jacket has separated.
Given that I’ve been using these daily to charge my laptop & phone amongst along with anything else that crosses my path, I can say with certainty that I’d buy them again, but I can’t give 5 stars due to the failure already mentioned.
The cable itself & plugs - great. Where they meet - not so much
Unfortunately after only three months of nominal use, both cables have a clear intermittent connection fault.
First impressions were very good, great length, the light adding up as a night light, but even with minimal use, both cables have failed requiring slight adjustment of the cords at at least, one end of the plug. Its as if they need a sleeve to support them. Maybe just a bad batch looking at the reviews, but they certainly have not lasted the advertised 3 years. Item was replaced and working ok so far.
Was very surprised when I received this pair of cables that the quality was so good, nice thick cables that just feel strong in the hand and just look great, black cable silver tips and a green indicator light to show you are connected to the device you are using, have tried them on 2 different fast chargers 1 of 65 Watts and 1 of 25 Watts they are both different makes thought 1 of them is a INIU external fast charge battery pack but they work perfectly well on fast charge on both chargers when connected to Samsung Galaxy Note 10 5G plus, the durability and feel of this cable look very good to me so I have have faith that they’re going to last very well, the cables come with a little loop attached to them so you can wrap them up neatly when not in use and allows you to keep control of the length of the cable when not in use but I will recommend any one looking for a fast charge cable that looks good and works well to buy these, mine are USB c to USB c for use on the fast chargers and can confirm if used with the right devices that they are fast charge and let’s be honest it doesn’t matter really what the product looks like as long as it works so I was quite surprised that some thought had been put into the design of these to make them look so good and the power indicator like light is also a plus, INIU are making some well designed products that also work very well so these are my go to company for accessories now.
Let me just start off by saying, I’m what you’d call a nerd for technology – I usually go out my way to look up all the best possible products and compare the specs of them all before making a solid purchase.
This is probably one of the most premium, budget; USB-C cables I have ever seen (and believe me I have bought well over a hundred various cables) – I never thought I’d use the words Premium and Budget in the same sentence but this cable (sorry, CABLES) really hits all the balls out of the park. The price is one of the best I’ve seen on Amazon for USB-C charging cables that are capable of supporting Super Fast Charging 2.0 on my Samsung S20 Ultra – these charging cables really do hit all the specifications they need to.
The build quality is unquestionably of high quality components – the cable heads feel rugged and not flimsy unlike alot of generic plastic USB-C cables in which the head is attached in a plastic shell with little to no security – the nylon cables also feel relatively soft to the touch and look hard enough to withstand being run over by my mad chair spins.
I love the fact they included a LED indicator on the end of the USB-C cable; it’s so elegant and adds to the overall build quality and premium experience – it’s something you don’t think is necessary until you actually see it in action.
I was honestly surprised you get two sets of 2M cables for the price you pay, considering all of their competitors like to charge over-price on Amazon for a single 2M cable for a little more than 1.2x the price of these two. I was charging my phone from 30% whilst writing this review and it’s now fully charged after taking about 18 minutes (unbelievable).
Can’t fault this at the moment – hopefully they hold up over the years, I’ll be looking to add a few more to my collection! 🙂
I had a problem with the INIU cable charging a Pixel 6 phone, it got to 73% then the phone started pinging on and off as it went between charging and stopped charging cycle. I replaced the cable with an Anker cable and the charge continued correctly. This may be due to the “Adaptive charging” settings on the Pixel 6, but I am not sure of the exact reason it did not work.
I tried the INIU cable on a OnePlus 8 phone and it worked fine.
Update
Karlin from INIU support contacted me and said the problem I had maybe due to a faulty cable and sent me a replacement cable pack to test. The replacement cables worked perfectly on the Pixel 6 phone.
I wasn’t going to contact INIU support as the cable worked okay in another phone and thought it maybe a particular problem with the Pixel 6. But I am very impressed with the effort Karlin made to contact me and offer me a replacement pack of cables to see if it would solve the problem.
I would have no problem purchasing INIU products in the future and would encourage anyone to contact INIU support if they encounter any problems.
Buyers must be noted that these cables are astonishingly slow in terms of data transfer speed. They are only USB2.0 speed (480MB/s) as mentioned in one of the pictures. These days 5GB/s (USB3.2 Gen 1) is the norm and new devices are supporting USB3.2 Gen 2 which delivers 10GB/s.
I feel this is super important to mention because I made the mistake of buying them for both fast charging and data transfer.
4 stars because the cable is advertised, mainly, for its fast charging capability and it does it well and the build quality and durability cannot be faulted. -1 star because it did not make it clear that the data transfer speed is below the USB-C norm.
Work macbook pro refused to charge with the *Apple* USB-C <-> USB-C cable causing no end of frustration and annoyance. Had a look online and these came up with good reviews.
Arrived nicely packaged. Cables themselves are strong and the connectors at the ends feel sturdy.
Acid test was replacing the Apple cable with one of these….charged perfectly and has continued to do so since. Probably don’t need the 2m length and for the moment could get away with shorter but will be different when back in the office.
I love the LED on the connector on one end – simple but I can see that power is flowing.
Overall happy with the purchase so far. Hopefully will prove to be reliable and strong over time.
These cables are of premium quality, they are packaged and presented nicely and the attention to detail on these cables is just stunning. I was initially going to give 4 stars instead of 5 because of the USB 2.0 (480mbps) protocol, but these cables are first and foremost charging cables, which was my reason for purchasing them to begin with.
Also, when you consider Apple’s 2m own charging cable which is also USB 2.0 (480mbps) and costs 19 (Apple store) or 17 via Amazon, then there is no comparison, these INIU cables are in the super league while Apple’s is in the bottom division. You get two superb cables for 9.99 compared with one single Apple basic cable for 17.
Yes, you can also get 100w charging cables with a 10000 gbps data transfer rate (USB 3.1 gen 2 protocol) on Amazon, but these are twice the price, and if you only require them for charging, then it makes sence to buy these instead.
Only works with a few of my Charge devices and not all. With the devices it does work with its great. Build quality seems really good and I can see these lasting ages.
Update 17 May 21. INIU have sent me a replacement cable free of charge under their 3 year warranty in their belief that the cable I bought may have been faulty. This was done by them without me prompting for a replacement. The new cable has unfortunately made no difference with the chargers I had issues when using the original cable. Seems those chargers have issues with some cables, I can’t fault the cables themselves as they work perfectly with other devices. Changing the review to 5 stars from 3 due to the customer service received and being able to confirm that the cables themselves are not at fault.
I have decided to leave my original review unchanged, but add comments about my further experiences!
As per my original review I had issues with the charging time with one cable especially on my MacBook Air 2020. There might have been an issue with the integrated chip. Somewhat disappointed I left a review on here… only to be contacted by a customer relationship agent offering help/replacement a few days later. After a few tests at my end, the iPad charging seemed to be ok, but the MacBook one was still off. I passed my info on… and they sent me immediately a full replacement set of two cables than just replacing the faulty one.
I was seriously impressed how Iniu’s customer team engaged with me. They reached proactively out to me, making sure that I was satisfied with their product. I now hold a fully working set in my hands… plus a spare one!
Faults can occur all the time, it’s how we handle them matters
Thanks!
Original review:
Main usage: Charging an MacBook Air2020 and iPad Pro 2018.
First a positive… the build quality is very good. Extremely sturdy, though this makes it occasionally a bit difficult to route the cable freely. The length of 2 metres is great and the main reason I went for this product. It is shame that Apple has decided to provide only really short cables nowadays especially for the MacBook series. It might assist with mobility, but is an absolut pain for a setup at home.
“Now to the negative… using the standard mains plug, which came with my MacBook, the charging time has now more than doubled. This is true for both the MacBook and my iPad Pro! I am not really prepared to be pushed into buying a high power output mains plug. My expectation was however that the charging time would be more or less the same. So this is a disappointment…” Please refer to my comment about the customer service!
I have made no tests on data transfer rate yet, but might give that a go later.
Here are my observations from using this product.
+ It’s from Iniu. My experience of their products (mainly portable chargers) is they go the extra mile on features.
+ Both cables are 2 meters in length. This is a much better length than the 1m cable included with many products.
+ It has a quality robust look and feel. The fabric-like cable is nicer to handle than plastic.
+ I haven’t tried the 100W charging feature yet but this gives me confidence that it can handle anything I throw at it.
+ They come with a handy cable tidy attached.
+ When trying to move all devices to the newer USB-C ports, these cables are ideal.
+ It comes with 3 years warranty which is easy to register using the Amazon order number.
These cables come well presented in a box with a neat and professional presentation. All the pros described below and I would highly recommend these for alternative and high power usage. If you’re seeking to go beyond the bog standard 20-45W charging cables, such as to charge laptops, your search ends here.
It seems yet another product from INIU has delivered!
Reasons why I love these cables?
– These are super strong sleeved cables. Not likely to break, fray or generally break under day to day use.
– Long cables so convenient for charging laptops or connecting to power sockets or power banks while they are stored neatly out of sight.
– Cables exuberate quality and seem to be very sturdy. Of course, time will tell but I am confident.
– Flexible cable tie included with each cable – never seen these before and they seems to do the job. Much akin the Velcro type ties, but without the noise 😉
– Green illuminated LED to indicate operation. Nice subtle touch.
– I connected this cable to my custom 100W wall charger that outputs directly via USB Type C and plugged in my Lenovo L13 laptop. It had no issues charging. No error messages of low power from Windows. See enclosed images. Note that this laptop comes accompanied with a 65W OEM USB C charger anyway, so these cables are definitely compatible with higher wattage devices, not just mobile phones.
– I have not tested these cables with any other devices so far, but I am sure that the claimed charging protocols such as PD 3.0/QC 4.0/Huawei FCP are all supported as advertised (max of 20V/5.0A (100W)).
– Reasonably priced for what you’re actually getting.
Seeking High Power Quality USB C Cables ? - Look no Further!
Cables with good price, you will get 2 cables for the price of one, the second time I get this company cables after trying other branded one which was disappointed, highly recommended cable to get
Update 24 Jan:
After few days the cables started to have a problem when charging my Laptop, as it keeps disconnecting, I am using 65w and 100w charger but the same result.
Update 18 May:
Last week I received an email from the company customer service, asking to send me new cables as maybe the old ones are faulty.
I just tested the new cables with Super Fast Charging and they are working perfectly.
This company working hard to provide high-quality after-sales services to reflect their quality products, well done .
I will update the review in the future if needed.
Highly Recommended Cables, Good price and Best Customer Service.
In brief these are the best charging cables I’ve reviewed so far, the quality is top notch and they sure do deliver power from chargers to devices, they’re like going in the fast lane. So if you’re after fast charging cables then buy these, they can deliver up to 100W!!!! Highly recommended!
These come very well presented in a stylish box with the contents looking even more stylish and shouting ‘quality’.
Each cable is neatly folded and held in place with a cardboard sleeve bearing the manufacturers brand.
The cables are 2M in length which is adequate for most uses. They have a smooth woven braiding covering the entire length of the cable. The plugs have a aluminium outer casing and attached to this is a plastic collar engulfing 1.3cm of the cable as it enters the plugs outer casing, this surely is going to protect the inner wiring of the plugs for a very long time. The cable is very sturdy and feels very well made. Each cable has a flexible tie which has a lot of stretch, it’s not your cheap plastic tie!
In use the plugs fit smoothly into the USB-C ports and are firmly held in place offering a solid connection. A green LED will illuminate on the plug when charging is taking place.
I currently have quite a few charging cables but could never get past 5V/2.1A with any of them when charging my mobile even though they are sold as fast charging. This cable immediately provided 3.4A (3400mAh) from my charger and my mobile was charged up in no time. To be specific, from 1% to 100% took this cable 78 minutes, that’s charging up a Sony 1 II which has a 4000mAh battery! I’m assuming the output from the charger was coming in at 5V/3.4A (15W). The charger I’m using has a mas output per port of 18W however I know for sure that the Sony Xperia 1 ii can take over 21W for even faster charging, thus I’ve got a more powerful charger on the way from Amazon and will update this review when it gets here.
What I’m basically saying is that this cable maximised whatever juice it could from the charger to deliver it to the mobile, for me that’s impressive because none of my fast charge cables do that, even the ones that are rated 5.0A/PD/QC etc.
This cable can handle fast charging protocols: PD 3.0/QC 4.0/Huawei FCP with a max of 20V/5.0A (100W).
I’m very impressed and highly recommend these cables at 9.99 for 2.
⚡⚡The best charging cables I've reviewed so far. These are awesome quality and deliver the power!
Was one of the cheapest 2 pack USB-C cables when I bought.
It seems to be fast charging my iPad Pro with an 87w Apple PSU, and also charged my MacBook Air with no issues.
Nice green led light at one end.
Build quality looks very good.
The cable itself is a little stiff (it’s about twice as thick as the apple cable), but the connections at each end are fine.
Nicely packed.
Cable tie is a nice bonus.
3 year warranty is welcome.
I’ll update if it fails, but for now it deserves 5 stars.
Great item that does probably more than what you need. I’ve tried lots of non-samsung cables and this is by far the best i’ve bought. Quality construction and I have no doubts about reliability. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
These cables scream quality … from the packaging to the cables themselves. High quality braiding, high-quality ends with a great led to show charging (one that isn’t bright enough to keep you awake if charging on the bedside table). There’s even a quality cable holder attached to the cable. Finally, price was brilliant …. I’d recommended these 100%
Bought this to go along with the powerbank we recently purchased. As USB-C cables go, this is a really high quality product, braided cable with strain relief & full metal connectors and housing. Does the job its intented to do and will hopefully last longer than some of the other cables I’ve had.
Only regret is not opting for the two pack but I will be ordering more of different lengths.
This is the second one of these I have bought (to use elsewhere and not replace this one!). It’s not an exciting purchase, but chances are you want to charge something via USB-C to USB-C. This does it at a great speed (including Samsung PPS protocols). I like the little LED In the one end of the cable that lights up when you connect a device to it. Quality of the cable is very good. My previous one has lasted well over a year and is still going strong. So, I hope this one does too.
I recently bought a Google Pixel 8 Pro and wanted to buy a new cable to allow rapid charging and be long enough to reach up from under my computer desk to the desk, and this meets all my requirements. Feels a quality braided cable and there is a nice green light at the end to indicate charging. I can confirm this cable allows ‘rapid charging’ of my Google Pixel 8 Pro, and fast charging of my Samsung Galaxy Tab 6 Lite.
Great cable, works just as described. Excellent price for a 2-pack. I really like the visual indicator (green light) that tells me the cable is properly connected and supplying electricity.
Not too much to say about these cables but they do perform exactly as they say on the box. Would I recommend the pro,definitely, they’re tangle free, rapid charging and generally feel robust..
Can’t really say to much about this product, apart from so far it has done what it says it does and charged the mobiles very quickly, the Mrs as a Samsung s23 the lead I had got prior wasn’t worth getting, took couple of hrs from dead to full but this lead total opposite charged her phone in under an hour but had charged it too 80% in 30mins, so no complaints from me
Only after witnessing an overloaded USB-C cable catch alight at work, I thought it was important to find a good quality one.
I got two of these leads on offer at a steal of a price, they turned up well packaged and immediately felt like they were good quality.
It’s a lead, it has a great length and the braiding on it gives it ease of use. It’s a good quality connector which I’m using with my laptop dock and HP laptop and it works really well.
For the price I paid these are fantastic value for money and I was really impressed with the performance, everything charges so fast!
2m length is perfect. The little green light is pretty cool as the amount of times I have left the charger on but not connected, that little visual sign is good.
Got this for work after previous cable was too short and stiff to be good for a usb headset. So far used this cable with no faults, quality feels good and so far no drop outs on calls (when using headset wired)
Charges my s22 ultra at 45w ultra which is excellent, however I thought that the green light was a charging indicator to show how much battery your phone has but it’s just static and it kinda annoys me at night now.
Excellent charging cables for powerful GAN chargers. I bought a 200W GAN charger but there was just one cable along with the charger (which was a bonus as many other chargers don’t come with cables at all). These extra cables are needed to charge multiple devices fast and safely. Totally satisfied with these cables as they do the job well. Sturdy construction and quality is good. Recommended.
Amazing product had it for 4 months now with no problems at all! Super charges my phone in no time! I have a google pixel 7 pro and if i charge it in my wall it takes around an hour, using this battery pack expected it too take about 2 hours or so but i was shocked when it charged from only 25% too 100% in like 30-35 minutes i was stunned! Would highly recommend this item too anyone looking at getting a powerpack too charge anything
I really like this lead. It’s amazingly good quality, far more durable than the Apple item supplied with my phone, incredibly quick to charge/transfer data. If you have a C to C iPhone, get one of these – it would be worth it at several times the price.
I have had various USB-C Cables for charging my laptop + phones. These are by far the best. I love the fact on one end of the cable there is a green light so you know the cable is actually connected and charging your device. It fits the ports well and unlike other cables it is still working. I did not want to write a review early on because a lot of these types of cables will work when you buy them but not take very long before they stop working and/or stop fitting properly in your USBC ports.
This is even better than the cable that came with my Macbook Pro, the official cable costs a ton of money in comparison and is far less durable.
Nicely made, good length, good price, strong cable covered cord that moves and bends nicely, with an led indicator BUT it’s connected to a high speed socket & it still just says it’s charging normally
On further inspection the socket says “fast charge 20w” so that will be limiting the advertised “100w fast charge” of the cable. Either way I am happy with my purchase
To fast charge your phone you will need to get a 65 watt plug which is available on Amazon. It’s a type c charging plug.
It has a cable tidy thing on it. It’s so simple but it’s really helpful for keeping tidy when not in use. It works perfectly and you get a warranty for the product by scanning the code on it when it arrives.
Quality cable and the power light gives a visual cue if ever there is an issue with the power. I was able to troubleshoot a power issue with my MacBook Air, it turned out that the power adapter was faulty.
Easy to fix. Also with Apple adopting USB C across all its devices, this cable is truly universal.
I have a super fast powerbank and wanted to replace my faulty cable which keeps giving me trouble charging my devices. I have to keep nudging it to make it charge. Now, I don’t worry about the faulty cable and not to nudge it
This INIU 100W cable is better specifications and fits the bill. A fast USB-C to USB-C charger cable rated up to 100W and this product caught my attention.
The 2ft long cable is the ideal length I need and it feels semi soft, durable and good to hold, but importantly, strong and durable build from end to end. I like how the ends are compact and slim in design and encapsulated in the nice reinforced sheath and have durable ends that don’t go weak and collapse like my old one.
The ends plugged into my phone and powerbank with a nice snug click and feels firm and steady. My Samsung S20+ Ultra had 90% charge and after using the fast cable, my phone was 100% in what felt like 5 mins!
The cable really does help to work fast with my fast powerbank and not bottle necked with slower speed cables.
I am very happy with the quality of workmanship and performance of this fast performance cable.
Absolutely awesome to see my charge so rapidly. Very good value product.
If you have a recent smartphone chances are that is requires a Type C
fast charging cable, the ones that are sometimes supplied are way to short and flimsy.
With the correct charger this cable is a vast improvement and has a light on the plug
the goes into the phone to confirm that it is charging.
Very highly recommended.
Only just received the product and plugged it, but it seems to work well. The 2m length is extremely useful when the plug socket is behind the sofa. The braiding makes it feel more robust than the cable it replaces. And I really appreciate having a light on one of the connectors confirming it’s definitely working. A few reviews state that the longevity may not be great but, having only used it for three minutes so far, I can’t really comment on that!
My kids have a talent for breaking charging cables, I don’t quite understand it, but these are high quality and have lasted where others have perished. I initially bought a couple to make sure our laptops got the full amount of power from the chargers we have (my work laptop is especially hungry). I love the fact that a small green light comes on when it’s actually charging (makes it obvious that the plug is actually on, and the cable is properly plugged in), my devices get the charge they need, so now that my kids have destroyed a couple more of the basic cables I figured I’d buy another two of these decent ones as replacements. Definitely worth it!
I’ve had these for a little while now and they hold up perfect and they’re long enough that I don’t need an extension lead. The wire hasn’t frayed like other ones I have had, these are great.
My phone supports fast charging and this charger does that in no time. 12% to 53% in just under half an hour. The plug matters too of course, not just the wire so I do have a plug that supports fast charging from Samsung. Together they work perfectly.
This is the fourth time I have purchased a set of these cables. I have now got a set everywhere I would need to charge my devices. Home office, bedroom, living room, my work office, my car and the wife’s car. I first bought a set four years ago and give them a lot of abuse. So far, I have only had one cable split on me, at the joint between the connector and cable.
I am able to charge iPhone, iPad 12.1, S22 Ultra, and S8 Tablet.
I find these cables value for money. Having purchased an entire jungle’s worth of them over the years, these are at the top end of hard-wearing.
Very well made cable and worth the money. Very good for charging but not great for data. However the seller is up front about that. They don’t sell it as a data transfer cable.
This cable is very durable and supports fast charging I like the fact that the end illuminates to let u know that it’s charging, support fast charging but occasionally the end of the cable can get warm the only reason for 4 stars
It is great at the moment I just hope it lasts. The wire is so thick and sturdy what you want with a charger wire and not the usual material it’s not rubber so it’s durable and you plug the charger in and it lights up green when charging love it so far definitely recommend
Got this cable for the son who has gone through other cables in quick succession.
So far so good with this cable.
Is a great length at 2 metres
Would recommend.
Does what it says on the tin, a great charger. I like the green light gimmick, though I don’t think it actually affects the charging speed.
It seems sturdy, I like the material on the cable so I expect it to last a while.
Although I have a 45W charger specifically for my S23 Ultra, I notice with just the 100w cable that my phone gets hot when charging, which may damage the phone’s battery and, or get less juice from it. The cable is perfect for phones that support 100W charging, not 25w and 45w.
The INIU USB C to USB C Charger Cable is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable charging cable. At 2 meters in length, the cable provides ample length for those who need some extra distance between their charging port and device. The price of the cable is also great value for money, especially considering its length and fast charging capabilities.
The cable itself feels sturdy and well-made, which is important as it suggests it will last a long time without fraying or breaking.
Overall, the INIU USB C to USB C Charger Cable is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and versatile charging cable. Its sturdy construction, length, and fast charging capabilities make it an excellent value for money
Tried it on a pinecil digital display soldering iron as well any other cable let the soldering iron get to over 100 degrees with ease however this usb lead wouldn’t get it past 30-40 degrees even when left for a long period of time.
Going to have to give it a 1 star because of this.
Edit ** The customer service of this company is amazing and because of this I have now given 5 stars. They contacted me to let me know they were disappointed that I wasn’t satisfied with my purchase and then sent me a new wire replacement and even a plug as well, the new wire works perfectly and the 35W plug is a fantastic bonus. They did all this for free off there own back and had great communication the entire time I can’t recommend this company enough now due to there passion for customer service and satisfaction!
It’s long, durable, works perfectly. Supports super fast charging on Samsung S21. I would definetely reccomend it.
I use this with 60w fast charger from amazon and it take 1:30 minutes to fully charge
It does exactly as described. It’s fast charging with the long length allowing me to use the phone when on charge.
It is difficult to find a cable that allows you to charge fast and transfer data fast. This one charges fast and it’s cheaper I guess (I haven’t tested data transfer yet).
good sturdy cable. quick delivery. is charging my ‘replace now’ mac battery so I can use it until repaired. charges fast.
USB C to USB C Cable, INIU 100W USB-C Charger Cable, good sturdy cable with a green light on 1 end when plugged in, did not notice that it was any quicker than any other cable for charging.
After putting this review the company reached out and sent a pair of new cables for FREE, customer service is fantastic and i only put the review on just to warn people, but with a company that does go above and beyond its fair to say weather these break or not. Iniu has great service
Yes this works really we. I also checked this charger for RFI (EMF) and it’s very good. Pleased it’s fast and rf quie
Only being using the charger for a short duration so cannot comment on durability. That being said it certainly charges my iPad faster than OEM charger and feels very sturdy.
Built well, nice and strong. Fast charging times unlike other cheaper quality cables. Very happy children.
Much better than the ones that came with our macs, which both split in less than a year. These feel very high quality and I can see they will last.
Very good quality lead. Plenty long enough and looks good.
Great length just what I need for charging my ps5 Controlle
Brilliant! Super charging and the lead is good and thick. Would 100% recommend! Plus the fact you got 2 for the price is great!
Excellent product – charges well. Haven’t tried data yet but signs are good.
Durable and long USB cable at a very a cheap price. 5 stars for now. Will update soon.
I waited before review as usually a catch.
These leads are excellent. Green light is great addition and are super charging cables that are actually correct length . Brilliant!
Very happy with these cables. My baby ripped the original and I had to get a new one but was worried it won’t support super fast charging but it does and the cable is bendy enough that I don’t have to worry it would easily snap like the last one.
These look and feel lovely and work well so far. I’m hoping they will last a long time too :-).
As the title says, they are excellent fast charging cables IFFFFF you have a fast wall plug charger!!
It’s quite a good cable and decent strength. And worked out nicely. Very good grip.
I’ve got through quite a few cables in my time but these ones are the best I’ve used. Really good quality that you can see and feel. I use them every day and there has been no fraying. They also have a sturdy clip for rolling up the cable.
Seems like a good tough cable, charges quick time will tell for durability.
Ordered it as my original Samsung cable just stopped working. Had various ones over the last few months all of which would not super fast charge. This cable fit into my Samsung charger, then my phone and I was greeted by the ‘super fast charging’ symbol for the first time in months…..Great cable very sturdy and works great on the Note 10+…..
UPDATE: Lina at INIU reached out to me and offered to fix the issue. Customer service was excellent and that’s all you can ask for really. I’m changing the stars to 5/5 as these cable do seem to be top quality, but, time will tell how long they last. Be assured though the company will sort you out if they fail.
Product looks and feels great quality. However both stopped charging my phone after 4 months. Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
Very good quality by the sound of it. Durable and does fast charging. My only grip is that its a bit rigid. I m buying another and will seek mire flexibility.
I purchased this to charge my 55 watt QC 4.0 phone. I just wanted a longer cable. It is rated for up to 100 watts so expected it to turbo charge. It does this absolutely fine at the same speed as the cable in the box which is a full charge of the 5000 ma battery in about 45 minutes. I haven’t had them long but the physical construction looks good with flexible connectors. So far very happy to recommend.
My order arrived on time and undamaged.
The cables certainly feel very robust and appear to be manufactured to a good standard. The braiding around the cable allows a good degree of flexibility (OK not as much as plastic sleeving) whilst also being durable – I think they’ll certainly last me many years.
Despite being 2m each in length, the cables seem to have a low impedance meaning better power delivery. Using my non-PD/QC charger, the current reached the same maximum output as my low resistance 0.5m cables. The real benefit came when using the cables with my certified-PD charger which reached the maximum charge rate for my phone within seconds of connecting. I would say that the 100W rating is correct. At this price point, the performance of the cables is much better than I had anticipated. I use the cables only for charging (for which they are designed primarily) so I cannot comment on data rates.
I also want to give a shout out to Karlin at the seller (TopStar GETIHU Accessory) for the excellent customer service. A problem with the order was fixed super quick and with no fuss. Tip marks to Karlin!
This is a well made product – it feels solid and sturdy.
However, initially I thought the cables were faulty as I have a known working Anker USB A & C charger by our bedside which I use for my Pixel 4a. These cables refuse to work at all with that charger whereas other USB C to USB C cables work just fine (rapid charging).
Luckily, I have a more recent Anker charger as well – an A2056 – so I tried the same cable & phone with that and the cables worked fine.
There’s a lesson here – these cables only work with a modern PD USB C charger – recent versions of PD are important.
Had that been made clear in the description, I’d have given 5 stars, but I’ve just wasted an hour determining what the issue was and writing this stupid review so that others don’t go down the same rabbit hole…
Very nice cables and were very durable.. that was until 9 months later of normal use.
Attached photograph of one cable that is now exposing the wires inside the cable. Btw I never pull on the actual cable, but on the plug itself, so I gather it’s the glue inside that’s deteriorated to allow the sheath to come away from the plug.
UPDATE:
I received a message out of the blue from Lina the after sales rep. Informing me that they had seen my review & decided to refund the price of the cables, but also send a replacement free of charge. She also stated the 3 year warranty means just that. Its very strange but a very pleasant surprise for a company to do this without being contacted first.
I was also informed by Lina that it was a ‘manufacturing issue but we have improved the material to avoid such issue’ so hopefully these new cables will sort the issue.
Thank you once again Lina !!
Bought these in July & I have been using them to charge my Google Pixel, Dell Latitude laptop, torch & other bits, along with friends MacBooks, Chromebooks, phones, etc.
Overall, it’s a mixed bag.
The cables itself is sturdy & doesn’t show any sign of wear. The plugs (which in lesser cables goes loose in the socket with wear) remain great, though the body of the plug is a bit big for some devices (their fault, not INIU).
The indicator LED is half useful and situation depending, too bright. Nothing that can’t be solved with a bit of tape. I would prefer if it had a “dim” mode for when it’s connected to power without a device connected so you know the charger is plugged in properly, especially when the socket is out of site, but that’s a nice to have
The rubber cable tie is something I thought would be a novelty – that I’d be annoyed with it in a week & cut it off. As it stands, I use the cable ties every day as it allows me to neatly coil the cable up in my pocket saving the trouble of a tangled mess – not that these cables really tangle anyway.
I’ve checked both cables & can’t find any to the jacket on either.
All in all, great cables & great plugs, albeit with some minor niggles.
Where they join is where the disappointment begins.
My big hope for these cables was, with their ample strain relief, that the classic “break at the boot” would be avoided. Alas, as you can see from the photos, the jacket has separated.
Given that I’ve been using these daily to charge my laptop & phone amongst along with anything else that crosses my path, I can say with certainty that I’d buy them again, but I can’t give 5 stars due to the failure already mentioned.
Unfortunately after only three months of nominal use, both cables have a clear intermittent connection fault.
First impressions were very good, great length, the light adding up as a night light, but even with minimal use, both cables have failed requiring slight adjustment of the cords at at least, one end of the plug. Its as if they need a sleeve to support them. Maybe just a bad batch looking at the reviews, but they certainly have not lasted the advertised 3 years. Item was replaced and working ok so far.
Was very surprised when I received this pair of cables that the quality was so good, nice thick cables that just feel strong in the hand and just look great, black cable silver tips and a green indicator light to show you are connected to the device you are using, have tried them on 2 different fast chargers 1 of 65 Watts and 1 of 25 Watts they are both different makes thought 1 of them is a INIU external fast charge battery pack but they work perfectly well on fast charge on both chargers when connected to Samsung Galaxy Note 10 5G plus, the durability and feel of this cable look very good to me so I have have faith that they’re going to last very well, the cables come with a little loop attached to them so you can wrap them up neatly when not in use and allows you to keep control of the length of the cable when not in use but I will recommend any one looking for a fast charge cable that looks good and works well to buy these, mine are USB c to USB c for use on the fast chargers and can confirm if used with the right devices that they are fast charge and let’s be honest it doesn’t matter really what the product looks like as long as it works so I was quite surprised that some thought had been put into the design of these to make them look so good and the power indicator like light is also a plus, INIU are making some well designed products that also work very well so these are my go to company for accessories now.
Let me just start off by saying, I’m what you’d call a nerd for technology – I usually go out my way to look up all the best possible products and compare the specs of them all before making a solid purchase.
This is probably one of the most premium, budget; USB-C cables I have ever seen (and believe me I have bought well over a hundred various cables) – I never thought I’d use the words Premium and Budget in the same sentence but this cable (sorry, CABLES) really hits all the balls out of the park. The price is one of the best I’ve seen on Amazon for USB-C charging cables that are capable of supporting Super Fast Charging 2.0 on my Samsung S20 Ultra – these charging cables really do hit all the specifications they need to.
The build quality is unquestionably of high quality components – the cable heads feel rugged and not flimsy unlike alot of generic plastic USB-C cables in which the head is attached in a plastic shell with little to no security – the nylon cables also feel relatively soft to the touch and look hard enough to withstand being run over by my mad chair spins.
I love the fact they included a LED indicator on the end of the USB-C cable; it’s so elegant and adds to the overall build quality and premium experience – it’s something you don’t think is necessary until you actually see it in action.
I was honestly surprised you get two sets of 2M cables for the price you pay, considering all of their competitors like to charge over-price on Amazon for a single 2M cable for a little more than 1.2x the price of these two. I was charging my phone from 30% whilst writing this review and it’s now fully charged after taking about 18 minutes (unbelievable).
Can’t fault this at the moment – hopefully they hold up over the years, I’ll be looking to add a few more to my collection! 🙂
I had a problem with the INIU cable charging a Pixel 6 phone, it got to 73% then the phone started pinging on and off as it went between charging and stopped charging cycle. I replaced the cable with an Anker cable and the charge continued correctly. This may be due to the “Adaptive charging” settings on the Pixel 6, but I am not sure of the exact reason it did not work.
I tried the INIU cable on a OnePlus 8 phone and it worked fine.
Update
Karlin from INIU support contacted me and said the problem I had maybe due to a faulty cable and sent me a replacement cable pack to test. The replacement cables worked perfectly on the Pixel 6 phone.
I wasn’t going to contact INIU support as the cable worked okay in another phone and thought it maybe a particular problem with the Pixel 6. But I am very impressed with the effort Karlin made to contact me and offer me a replacement pack of cables to see if it would solve the problem.
I would have no problem purchasing INIU products in the future and would encourage anyone to contact INIU support if they encounter any problems.
I feel this is super important to mention because I made the mistake of buying them for both fast charging and data transfer.
4 stars because the cable is advertised, mainly, for its fast charging capability and it does it well and the build quality and durability cannot be faulted. -1 star because it did not make it clear that the data transfer speed is below the USB-C norm.
Work macbook pro refused to charge with the *Apple* USB-C <-> USB-C cable causing no end of frustration and annoyance. Had a look online and these came up with good reviews.
Arrived nicely packaged. Cables themselves are strong and the connectors at the ends feel sturdy.
Acid test was replacing the Apple cable with one of these….charged perfectly and has continued to do so since. Probably don’t need the 2m length and for the moment could get away with shorter but will be different when back in the office.
I love the LED on the connector on one end – simple but I can see that power is flowing.
Overall happy with the purchase so far. Hopefully will prove to be reliable and strong over time.
Also, when you consider Apple’s 2m own charging cable which is also USB 2.0 (480mbps) and costs 19 (Apple store) or 17 via Amazon, then there is no comparison, these INIU cables are in the super league while Apple’s is in the bottom division. You get two superb cables for 9.99 compared with one single Apple basic cable for 17.
Yes, you can also get 100w charging cables with a 10000 gbps data transfer rate (USB 3.1 gen 2 protocol) on Amazon, but these are twice the price, and if you only require them for charging, then it makes sence to buy these instead.
Highly recommended
Update 17 May 21. INIU have sent me a replacement cable free of charge under their 3 year warranty in their belief that the cable I bought may have been faulty. This was done by them without me prompting for a replacement. The new cable has unfortunately made no difference with the chargers I had issues when using the original cable. Seems those chargers have issues with some cables, I can’t fault the cables themselves as they work perfectly with other devices. Changing the review to 5 stars from 3 due to the customer service received and being able to confirm that the cables themselves are not at fault.
I have decided to leave my original review unchanged, but add comments about my further experiences!
As per my original review I had issues with the charging time with one cable especially on my MacBook Air 2020. There might have been an issue with the integrated chip. Somewhat disappointed I left a review on here… only to be contacted by a customer relationship agent offering help/replacement a few days later. After a few tests at my end, the iPad charging seemed to be ok, but the MacBook one was still off. I passed my info on… and they sent me immediately a full replacement set of two cables than just replacing the faulty one.
I was seriously impressed how Iniu’s customer team engaged with me. They reached proactively out to me, making sure that I was satisfied with their product. I now hold a fully working set in my hands… plus a spare one!
Faults can occur all the time, it’s how we handle them matters
Thanks!
Original review:
Main usage: Charging an MacBook Air2020 and iPad Pro 2018.
First a positive… the build quality is very good. Extremely sturdy, though this makes it occasionally a bit difficult to route the cable freely. The length of 2 metres is great and the main reason I went for this product. It is shame that Apple has decided to provide only really short cables nowadays especially for the MacBook series. It might assist with mobility, but is an absolut pain for a setup at home.
“Now to the negative… using the standard mains plug, which came with my MacBook, the charging time has now more than doubled. This is true for both the MacBook and my iPad Pro! I am not really prepared to be pushed into buying a high power output mains plug. My expectation was however that the charging time would be more or less the same. So this is a disappointment…” Please refer to my comment about the customer service!
I have made no tests on data transfer rate yet, but might give that a go later.
+ It’s from Iniu. My experience of their products (mainly portable chargers) is they go the extra mile on features.
+ Both cables are 2 meters in length. This is a much better length than the 1m cable included with many products.
+ It has a quality robust look and feel. The fabric-like cable is nicer to handle than plastic.
+ I haven’t tried the 100W charging feature yet but this gives me confidence that it can handle anything I throw at it.
+ They come with a handy cable tidy attached.
+ When trying to move all devices to the newer USB-C ports, these cables are ideal.
+ It comes with 3 years warranty which is easy to register using the Amazon order number.
It seems yet another product from INIU has delivered!
Reasons why I love these cables?
– These are super strong sleeved cables. Not likely to break, fray or generally break under day to day use.
– Long cables so convenient for charging laptops or connecting to power sockets or power banks while they are stored neatly out of sight.
– Cables exuberate quality and seem to be very sturdy. Of course, time will tell but I am confident.
– Flexible cable tie included with each cable – never seen these before and they seems to do the job. Much akin the Velcro type ties, but without the noise 😉
– Green illuminated LED to indicate operation. Nice subtle touch.
– I connected this cable to my custom 100W wall charger that outputs directly via USB Type C and plugged in my Lenovo L13 laptop. It had no issues charging. No error messages of low power from Windows. See enclosed images. Note that this laptop comes accompanied with a 65W OEM USB C charger anyway, so these cables are definitely compatible with higher wattage devices, not just mobile phones.
– I have not tested these cables with any other devices so far, but I am sure that the claimed charging protocols such as PD 3.0/QC 4.0/Huawei FCP are all supported as advertised (max of 20V/5.0A (100W)).
– Reasonably priced for what you’re actually getting.
Cables with good price, you will get 2 cables for the price of one, the second time I get this company cables after trying other branded one which was disappointed, highly recommended cable to get
Update 24 Jan:
After few days the cables started to have a problem when charging my Laptop, as it keeps disconnecting, I am using 65w and 100w charger but the same result.
Update 18 May:
Last week I received an email from the company customer service, asking to send me new cables as maybe the old ones are faulty.
I just tested the new cables with Super Fast Charging and they are working perfectly.
This company working hard to provide high-quality after-sales services to reflect their quality products, well done .
I will update the review in the future if needed.
These come very well presented in a stylish box with the contents looking even more stylish and shouting ‘quality’.
Each cable is neatly folded and held in place with a cardboard sleeve bearing the manufacturers brand.
The cables are 2M in length which is adequate for most uses. They have a smooth woven braiding covering the entire length of the cable. The plugs have a aluminium outer casing and attached to this is a plastic collar engulfing 1.3cm of the cable as it enters the plugs outer casing, this surely is going to protect the inner wiring of the plugs for a very long time. The cable is very sturdy and feels very well made. Each cable has a flexible tie which has a lot of stretch, it’s not your cheap plastic tie!
In use the plugs fit smoothly into the USB-C ports and are firmly held in place offering a solid connection. A green LED will illuminate on the plug when charging is taking place.
I currently have quite a few charging cables but could never get past 5V/2.1A with any of them when charging my mobile even though they are sold as fast charging. This cable immediately provided 3.4A (3400mAh) from my charger and my mobile was charged up in no time. To be specific, from 1% to 100% took this cable 78 minutes, that’s charging up a Sony 1 II which has a 4000mAh battery! I’m assuming the output from the charger was coming in at 5V/3.4A (15W). The charger I’m using has a mas output per port of 18W however I know for sure that the Sony Xperia 1 ii can take over 21W for even faster charging, thus I’ve got a more powerful charger on the way from Amazon and will update this review when it gets here.
What I’m basically saying is that this cable maximised whatever juice it could from the charger to deliver it to the mobile, for me that’s impressive because none of my fast charge cables do that, even the ones that are rated 5.0A/PD/QC etc.
This cable can handle fast charging protocols: PD 3.0/QC 4.0/Huawei FCP with a max of 20V/5.0A (100W).
I’m very impressed and highly recommend these cables at 9.99 for 2.
Was one of the cheapest 2 pack USB-C cables when I bought.
It seems to be fast charging my iPad Pro with an 87w Apple PSU, and also charged my MacBook Air with no issues.
Nice green led light at one end.
Build quality looks very good.
The cable itself is a little stiff (it’s about twice as thick as the apple cable), but the connections at each end are fine.
Nicely packed.
Cable tie is a nice bonus.
3 year warranty is welcome.
I’ll update if it fails, but for now it deserves 5 stars.
