Are Anker cables considered good? I have a few, but recently one of my anker usb-c cables started to only go up to 15W, making me think something broke with the usb pd chip.
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoYes AFAIK Anker generally has a good reputation, but what does that have to do with uninterruptible power supplies?
- ianburrell 3y agoAnker is good. The limit for USB-C cables is normal ones go to 60W, marked ones go to 100W. The cables are passive except for the marker chip. It is the charger that does USB-PD. Do you have it plugged into regular charger that does 15W, or USB-PD charger that does more? I guess you could have a bad cable where the CC wire has broken and can't do USB-PD.
- ssl-3 3y agoAnker products are generally good (and they were the first to make consistently-good cables and chargers -- in the early smartphone days, everything non-OEM was junk), but things still break eventually. Their customer service is supposed to be legendary. If you drop them a (polite) descriptive note, signed with your name and address, I'll bet you a beer that you'll have a new cable in your hands by the middle of next week.
