Baseus USB C to USB C Cable 100W Retractable USB C 5A Fast Charging Cable 4-Stage Length Preset

TLDR; An excellent, convenient, and powerful charging solution for those who hate cable clutter. It delivers on 100W fast charging and portability, though data transfer is limited to USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and it is not a video cable. I bought the Baseus 100W 2-Pack Retractable USB C cables because my desk and travel bag were constantly a mess of tangled cords. I needed a high-power solution that could charge my MacBook and my phone, but in a compact, organized way. My initial thought upon seeing the 2-pack was a slight concern about the size of the retractable housing, but the immediate tidiness it provided was a welcome change. This is a five-star product for the target user: someone who prioritizes organization and fast charging on the go. The cable is a charging powerhouse, delivering the promised 100W of Power Delivery (PD) to my laptop and enabling super-fast charging for my Android smartphone. The retractable mechanism, which features a 7-stage length preset, is the standout feature. It works smoothly and reliably; a gentle pull on both ends extends or retracts the cable, which is far superior to struggling with a tangled mess. The 6.6ft (2-meter) length is fantastic for reaching outlets far away, yet it instantly disappears into a compact 'turtle shell' housing when not in use. This solved my cable clutter problem completely. The flat cable design also seems to help with the retraction mechanism and prevents twists. The build quality, while housed in a plastic retractor, feels solid enough for daily travel and use. However, a critical detail to note is the data speed. This cable is rated for only 480Mbps, which is standard USB 2.0 speed. This is perfectly fine for charging and basic data transfers (like syncing small files or phone backups), but it is a major limitation if you plan on transferring large files or connecting to an external display. This cable does NOT support video transmission. You are buying this for fast charging and organization, not for high-speed data or display output. Pros 100W Power Delivery (PD) for lightning-fast charging of laptops, tablets, and phones. Retractable design with 7-stage length preset eliminates cable clutter. 6.6ft (2-meter) length provides ample reach. Compact and lightweight housing makes it ideal for travel and neat workspaces. Flat cable design resists twisting and aids smooth retraction. Comes in a convenient 2-pack, offering excellent value. Cons Data transfer speed is limited to 480Mbps (USB 2.0). Does NOT support video transmission (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). The retractable housing is slightly bulkier than a non-retractable cable end. Verdict The Baseus 100W 2-Pack Retractable USB C Cable is an absolute must-buy for power users and travelers who require fast charging and impeccable organization. It is the perfect solution for keeping a laptop bag tidy, or for decluttering a hotel room or office desk. It delivers reliable and fast power as advertised. Who is this product best for? This cable is best for users who need a powerful, organized charging solution for their USB-C devices (laptops, phones, tablets) and do not need high-speed data transfer or video output. If your primary use is charging and secondary use is basic file syncing, the convenience is easily worth the price. If you need 5Gbps+ data speeds or a video cable, look elsewhere. Read more

I finally found the perfect charge cable. These cables are high wattage. They charge the products. Fast provided that they’re hooked up to a high-powered charger and they retract and expand beautifully. I buy USB-C to USB-C and then if needed for different devices, I simply buy adapters which they make for USB-C to whatever device you want even my Garmin watch. I’m replacing these with every charger that I have. Read more

Bought the cable in May for a trip overseas, it worked till August and the USB c connection is now loose. I purchased three at the same time but primarily used this one because it was the longest I purchased. Disappointed that it's already failing. So worked great until it didn't. ------------ UPDATE: Seller Provided a Response and Provided a Full Refund. Read more

This really makes a great compact travel companion. Stays out of the way when you don’t need it and extends to a decent length for charging. The cable is a nice flat style and retracts cleanly, avoiding tangling. Price point is reasonable. Read more

I specifically ordered this because the information said that one side will pull out of the center disc and not have both ends come out. But that's not the case. When I pull on one side, the opposite side automatically comes out. And that's not a big deal, in fact that may be desired for some, except I specifically wanted to be able to keep the center disc in one place and pull out just one side without having cord coming out of the other side and sticking out where I don't want it. It seems to charge great and I'll hang on to it and use it for travel because it really is nice not to have cord that you have to fold up, but for the place that I wanted to use it, it's not what I expected or wanted.

Not a bad charging cable, the body is about the same as the a MagSafe charging ring but thicker. Has a four stage retracting cable for portability, I measure at the 1st at 10mm, 2nd 34mm, 3rd 60mm and the 4th 102mm. The body feels soft and I'm hoping that it doesn't wear or become gummy like some other coated plastics do. The cord its self is flat and has long groves what help with gripping. Is it needed? No, but it gives the cable an astatic appeal. I would of liked to of seen some writing on the back on weather this had an emarker chip or not, I'm guessing it does but its hard to tell now days. I didn't test if this charges at the full 100 watts, But it did charge my iPhone and android device. I have a ton of there cables to use and might chuck this into one of a go bag or keep it in my car for charging other things that dont have wireless charging. Read more
