Anker product names can be confusing at times, as there are many series of USB-C to USB-C cables.

Some examples:

Tesla Model 3 Highland has a wireless charging pad that allows you to charge two Qi devices simultaneously up to 15W. I felt my phone produces more heat when charging this way than when charging via MagSafe. Also, 15W wireless charging is slow, considering most of my drives within Singapore are a maximum of 30 minutes.

There is another USB-C port in the Tesla Model 3 Highland located in the center console’s rear compartment, which is accessible to both the driver and the front passenger. The other two USB-C ports are meant for the backseat passengers. In total, the Tesla Model 3 Highland has three USB-C ports that can output a maximum of 65W.

Verbatim Tough Max cables utilize DuPont Kevlar Aramid fiber to encase the pure copper core, providing exceptional strength. This is further reinforced by a double-layered nylon braided outer sheath, ensuring durability and resilience.

The copper core, constructed with 21AWG (American Wire Gauge), optimizes performance, enabling quicker charging and ensuring more stable data transmission.

Belkin BoostCharge USB-C to USB-C Cable 240W, as the product name suggests, is a USB-C to USB-C charging cable that is capable of delivering up to 240W of power through it.

Extended Power Range (EPR) is part of USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.1 specifications that allow USB-C cables to deliver up to 240W of power. The previous USB PD 3.0 specification provides up to 100W.

The official retail price of the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable is S$45 and on Apple’s Employee Purchase Plan (EPP) it retails for S$40.66.

But you can get it at S$37 at Apple Authorised Resellers on Lazada, Shopee, and Amazon.sg. That is what I tried to do, except that it is out of stock on all the above mention platforms.

The second Moshi Integra cable I have is the Moshi Integra USB-C Cable (2m).

There are two lengths available, 1m and 2m. The 1m is available only in Jet Silver, while the 2m is available in Jet Silver and Titanium Gray.

Moshi Integra is Moshi’s line of braided cable.

I have the Moshi Integra USB-C to Lightning Cable (25cm) which is the perfect length for bringing it around.

It has been a while since I heard the brand Verbatim. The last time I heard about it is during the floppy disk era.

I am glad they diversified into mobile accessories.

Got the 1m Ugreen Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W) from Lazada for S$14.45. Shipping to Singapore is an additional S$2.20.

The Ugreen Braided USB-C to USB-C Cable (100W) is only available in Black with two lengths, 1m and 2m.
