USB-C cables, chargers, and accessories spanning the modern connector ecosystem.
Anker's USB-C cable naming is famously confusing, spanning many series. Only three support 240W charging: Anker Prime, Anker Zolo, and the standard Anker line. A look at which one offers the best value for fast charging.
Using the S$50 Singtel Shop voucher from my iPhone 17 Pro Max pre-order, I picked up the Sharge Retractable 65W Charger for S$49.90 after Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter never made it onto Singtel Shop.
The Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max delivers 40W with short 60W peaks and is the first charger to use the USB PD 3.2 SPR AVS spec. It is sold only in seven Type-A socket countries.
The Anker 140W Charger is a four-port unit topping out at 140W, bundled with a 1.8m 240W braided cable and a foldable UK plug. I picked the silver version for S$60.27 during the 10/10 sale, down from S$85.90.
The Ugreen USB-C to USB-C 100W Retractable Cable retails around S$15, dropping to about S$9 on sale days; I grabbed mine for S$8.69 on 7/7. Its retractable design replaces both my short and long travel cables in one.
Charging on the Tesla Model 3 Highland's wireless pad runs slow and hot, so I prefer its USB-C ports, which output up to 65W. The Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C 140W cable suits charging phones quickly inside the car.
My one Black Friday haul: the Anker Prime 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger for S$162.29, down from around S$222.99. Most of the saving came from finally signing up for a MariBank credit card, which added an instant discount.
Responding to feedback on the original, Belkin released this version of the BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger with interchangeable US, EU, and UK tips, making the four-port charger far better suited to international travel.
Verbatim Tough Max cables wrap a pure copper core in DuPont Kevlar Aramid fibre and a double-layered nylon braid for exceptional durability. The 21AWG core enables faster charging and stable data, reinforcing the weak connector joint.
The Verbatim 4-Port 100W PD Travel Charger packs three USB-C PD ports and one USB-A QC port, with four interchangeable plugs and a carrying pouch. Weighing 227g, it retails for S$114 on Shopee and Lazada.
To mark its 41st anniversary, Belkin partnered with Disney on five themed accessory collections, from Disney100 Prism and Music to characters like Lotso from Toy Story. A look at these limited-edition designs.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 140W 4-Port GaN Wall Charger has three USB-C ports and one USB-A, topping out at 140W, enough for a 16-inch MacBook Pro. It comes in white and retails for S$199.
The Belkin BoostCharge USB-C to USB-C Cable delivers up to 240W via USB PD 3.1's Extended Power Range. The thicker braided cable comes in black and white, in 1m and 2m lengths.
The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter retails for S$45, though a Singtel voucher brought mine down to S$30. It lets you connect Lightning accessories to a USB-C device such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The Ugreen Nexode 100W Charger steps up from the 65W model with four ports, three USB-C and one USB-A. It retails for S$73.59, and I paid around S$60, though flash sales can drop it to S$46.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger is a compact two-port 65W charger in white, retailing for S$80 but often under S$70 on sale. At 111g it is even smaller than the Ugreen Nexode 65W.
The Ugreen USB-A to USB-C Adapter, S$7.49 on Lazada, converts a USB-C cable into a USB-A one. It supports QC3 charging and 5Gbps transfer, handy for devices that don't accept USB Power Delivery.
The Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger is the younger sibling of the 4-Port 100W Wall Charger, retailing for S$50.39. It has three ports, two USB-C and one USB-A, with a combined 65W output, cheaper on sale days.
The Ugreen DigiNest Cube is the younger sibling of the DigiNest Pro, another 7-in-1 power strip. It keeps the three AC ports but swaps to two USB-C and two USB-A, with USB output reduced to 65W.
The Ugreen DigiNest Pro Power Strip retails for S$169.99 and is likely Ugreen's first with three AC ports, three USB-C, and one USB-A. Note the AC ports use North American and Japanese Type A plugs.
The Ugreen 200W Desktop Charger is the brand's first 200W unit, with six ports, four USB-C and two USB-A. As one of few 200W chargers around, it is priced steeply at S$279.99 with free shipping.
After my company swapped me to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro, my Razer Core X Chroma eGPU no longer worked, since M1 lacks eGPU support. So I got a Ugreen USB-C to 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub.
