Cable Matters USB-IF Certified 10Gbps Gen 2 USBA to USB C Cable - 3 3 ft USBC to

I've now purchased a total of four of these Cable Matters USB-C to A cables for both work and myself. I can't believe how many low quality cables are out there, many of which are incompatible for things like external hard drives. This cable is excellent and works with everything. Sure you can use it as just a charging cable, but it's also a wonderful data cable and works great with my WD DUO drive and several microcontrollers. I use it at work as a PC to monitor connector. The cable is a little stiffer and thicker than most and the connectors are durable. If you are looking for a reliable and cost effective cable then this is a great choice. Read more

I bought this cable for my CarPlay and I have seen a big change in quality. No more lagging, no more random disconnects and it feels sturdy as a brick! Love this thing. Worth every penny. Read more

I use this extensively with a variety of drive and host device types and so far it works very well, including worked around a problem with one drive that occured when I used the OEM cable instead of this one. I spent about 4 weeks using this cable for several hours a day in challening scenarios and it did exactly what I wanted: enabled the 10Gb/s device speed and didn't get in my way with connection problems or drops. Plugs are good quality / fit properly unlike some branded cables which have too loose a fit. If you have a number of 10Gb/s devices you switch around on a daily basis this is a nice cable to have to maximize your chances of everything working in a realiable / stable way. Don't assume because you purchased a good brand of drive or device, that it ships with a good cable. Equipment MFR often skimp on cable quality to increase their margins, partly because they know many people won't want the hassle of calling in to replace a cable. Read more

I bought this after growing tired of slow USB charging and data transfer issues. Initially this cable also would not stay connected to my PC but after further research I discovered that I had crud in my charging port. I used a tooth brush to scrub at it and huge chunks of debris came out. After doing this the Cable Matters cable has worked flawlessly. The cable is very thick and high quality. No issues, other than my phone's dirty port. Read more

After only a few twists and turns manipulating the cable, it died. We ended up returning it and getting a braided cable from CableMatters which may be your better bet if you plan on the cable being manipulated at all. This cable is fairly stiff and prone to breaking. Read more

High quality, as expected. I only buy cable matters at this point because I know it will serve me well for a long time. Read more

If you have a few photos to transfer from your phone to your pc its a split second and you're done. I had thousands to transfer and it did it faster than I expected. This cable works great, at 10gbps it's not the fastest cable, but I was able to transfer over 10 thousand photos from my phone in under an hour and a half. That's not to say it's the cables fault, it's probably my pc that's at fault, considering it's about 13 years old now. I highly recommend this cable so long as you don't intend to transfer massive files that are terabyte sized. If that's the case, go with a 40gbps plus cable. Best wishes! Read more

Cable works amazing. I'm able to transfer files to my Sandisk USB NVME at around 350MB/s. Read more
