USB C fast 20 gbps data transfer cable recommendations

[ro5]

hello,

what are your recommendations for a good USB-C to USB-C cable for fast 20 gpbs data transfer speeds? looking for good quality/value. what are good brands? i know about anker, but they seem to be overcharging these days because they've gotten more name recognition. been seeing the brand baseus pop up recently that i have never seen before / don't know anything about. ugreen?

thanks.

Get the Apple thunderbolt 4.

You can't transfer any faster than 10Gbps from a 15 Pro, so you can just get any USB-C cable that uses USB 3.2.

i thought the port on the pro phones were rated for 20 gbps data transfer speeds?

That cable is only USB 2.0. Fine for charging though.

I think that's the same cable that came with the both Pro models.

To the OP, I got this from Amazon and no idea how fast it is but the reviews seems good.

actually, i just saw this cable which is likely the one i will get unless i find something better in the next few days:

www.amazon.com

it is exactly what i need right now. i don't see much sense in paying a lot more to get a "future proof" cable. if i ever need a better spec'ed cable in the future, i will be able to buy such a cable at a much lower price precisely because it will be in the future and what is considered a "future proof" cable today will be just a regular cable then and priced accordingly. and i will have 2 cables instead of 1 after having spent about the same amount of money.

@ro5 i was looking at that cable last week or so ago for the same reason, but it was out of stock when I went back to order. Looks like my area won’t deliver until Oct 2, but that’s good enough.

At least it has a “10” near the connector so you can tell the speed.

Thx

Got this one. Just keep in mind that higher rated cables are generally more thick and less flexible

I’m looking for a faster data cable for my 15 PM.

I take videos off my phone and transfer to my PC using the regular USB-C cable from Apple. Videos transfer pretty slowly unfortunately.

My PC (Dell) is about 3 years old. How can I tell if my PC can transfer data more quickly using one of these faster cables suggested in this thread?

Thanks in advance!
