All in all the cable is well made and seems to be durable and the length is almost 7 ft long which is nice if your outlets are kinda far from you
This cable does not have fast charge capabilities. I used this cable twice to charge my Galaxy S8 using the Archeer AR-QC-24C charger( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IB8PB92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) which has one Qualcomm 3.0 QuickCharge Type-C USB port and I only got standard charging speeds. To make sure it wasn't the charger, I plugged in the charging cable that came with the Galaxy S8 using the Type-A to Type-C adapter that also comes with the Galaxy S8, and sure enough, I was fast charging the phone. To make triple sure, a couple of days later I tried this cable a third time and no dice. It only delivers old standard charging speeds. All in all the cable is well made and seems to be durable and the length is almost 7 ft long which is nice if your outlets are kinda far from you. I would've given it 3 stars if it weren't for the deceptive title of the product that touts it has Fast Charge capability. I'll be sending this one back and keep looking for a Type-C to Type-C cable that delivers Fast Charging. But Type-C to Type-C cables are a rarity so far.

Very good cable
Very nice. I have been buying nylon braided cables from another company for years. When I upgraded to my pixel 2 XL, I needed a USB 3.1 type c cable. I love the way this one is type c on both end. It plugs right into the OEM charger that came with my phone. Works perfect. The end plugs super snug into the phone and requires a bit of a tug to remove. It's not going to just fall out. The braid is quality and the cable feels like it's going to last. I'm going to order a few extra soon just to have on hand.If your phone or other devices use USB 3.1 type c then this is the cable you need. I can confirm it is blazing fast on a qualcom quick charge 3.0 device.

I bought this to charge my nintendo switch
I bought this to charge my nintendo switch using a 30w Anker wall charger and it works perfectly. I can charge my switch as im playing it. Fits into both the charger and the switch snug but not too snug. The cable is flexible but it is a bit stiff. You can bend it to go where you need it, but it'll basically hold that shape instead of trying to straighten itself out like a rubber coated cable or go limp like some other braided cables. I spent a lot of time trying to decide between this one and a similar Anker cable thats a few dollars more. I'm an Anker fan, love all their products, but I went with this one because its usb 3.1, the Anker cable is 2.0. From what i understand 3.1 supports faster charging. I'm happy I went with this cable.

Nice cable but it doesn't rapid charge (to be fair neither does the Anker Powerline cable).
Nice Cable but the amperage is limited to 1000mA limiting power delivery. This is also an issue with the super-expensive Anker powerline cables.I am posting a comparison with a 3ft, rubberized stock cable. Notice the output is 1500mA..Both cables are tested using an Anker wall charger that supports power delivery.

beast of a cable
Paired this cable with Anker quick charger Anker Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C 24W USB Wall Charger, PowerPort+ 1 for Galaxy C9 Pro, Nexus, Moto and MoreWrote a review on the Anker page about my experience with this cable and that charger...which is charging my Pixel just stupidly fast. QC 3.0 or PD standard is something that every phone needs. This cable is well made and does not bend easily....so probably not the best experience when trying to use a phone while charging...but happy trade off.

One of the few that actually can do 400mbs DATA transfer
I bought one of these and it had a bad connection but i didn't use it much, and really didn't realize what I had till I tried to replace it. I am sure most of the 3.1 rev2 cables on amazon under 6' work, but this is the only 6' cable I found that would. I transfer many gbs of movies to a stand alone raid enclosure and short of the short 3' and smaller, this is the only cable capable of giving me the 400mbs transfers my equipment is capable of. All and I mean like over a dozen returns worth of other cables claiming they could, did not, most where in the 50 one did 100mbs. Construction is typical of a many braided cables on the market. Most people won't notice this for charging and there isn't much in the way of hardware that can go that fast, but if your doing an 8TB transfer, it will change wait times from days to hours, 1.5days to 3.5 in my test.

Long term reliability not good
This cable is very thick and appears very sturdy. However, without any physical indication it is fraying or coming apart on the outside, the cable stopped charging my phone, while other cables worked with the same charger. I performed a simple continuity test on this cable using a multimeter and apparently the conductors inside have opened from one end of the cable to the other. This is just after 1 year of use; purchased in Feb 2018. As it turns out, cable diameter and sturdiness on the outside probably don't matter as much as the quality of the conductors inside.

Solid Cable
At this point, I am just using the cable for charging a new laptop. It works great. The biggest issue I have with USB C so far is that cheap cables because lose over time and do not seat well. Once this happens, the charger cannot negotiate a higher voltage. This cable seats very well. I will update if there are any issues down the road.Pros:- Very solid feel when connecting- Charges at full power (65W charger)- Looks really good. The ends appear to be real metal.- Solid cableCons:- Solid cable. The cable is not as flexible as some and a little heavier. This is a trade off I will take for quality.
