--- title: iOrange-E USB Type-C Cable date: 2015-11-20 09:11:43 permalink: https://lesterchan.net/blog/2015/11/20/iorange-e-usb-type-c-cable/ author: Lester Chan categories: - Cable tags: - Amazon - braided - HopShopGo - iOrange-E - USB-C --- The [iOrange-E USB Type-C Cable](http://www.iorange-e.com/) is one of the recommended USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable by [Benson Leung](https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung). The cables are available in three colors (Gold, Silver, Black) and each of the colors are available in 3 lengths (0.5m, 2m or 3m). You can get all 9 variants from [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/iOrange-E-Braided-Reversible-Connector-ChromeBook/dp/B010VFFU1W/). The prices of the cables have been going up, probably due to Benson’s recommendation. At this point of writing, the 2m black retails for US$15.99 (S$23) and the 2m silver retails for US$14.99 (S$22). When I first bought it on 5th November 2015, the 2m black cost **US$14.99 (S$21)** and the 2m silver cost **US$13.99 (S$20)**. The housing of the USB heads of the cable are made up of aluminum and the cable itself is made up of nylon fiber for durability. If you have read [Benson’s reviews](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2015/11/05/getting-usb-type-c-cable-from-amazon-read-this-guy-review-first/) on USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables, some cables identify themselves as a USB Type-C cable. This should not be the case. This is because USB Type-C cable is designed for 3A of power while USB Type-A (normal USB) is designed for only 2.4A of power. The cable should follow the lowest power rating, which in this case is 2.4A because of the USB Type-A specifications. Since the iOrange-E USB Type-C Cable identifies itself as a regular USB Type-A cable, it is safe to be used. The only disadvantage of the iOrange-E USB Type-C cables is that they do not ship to Singapore directly. You will have to ship it to a US freight forwarder like [HopShopGo](http://www.hopshopgo.com) and get them to ship for you to Singapore.
