I looked for many reviews before purchasing, trying to find information about compatibility with the new MacBook. - This WILL charge the new MacBook, however it must be plugged into a HIGH CURRENT USB port, like the charging brick from an iPad (12W) or another charger that is capable of 2A or greater charging current. - The original charger for the MacBook is 29 watts, and it achieves this by using a high voltage pin available only in USB-C. This USB A to USB-C adapter cannot use that pin, and the maximum charging rate is 2.4 amps x 5 Volts or 12 watts. This means that the MacBook charges slower while using a USB-A to USB-C cable. - When turned on using the MacBook with this cable plugged into the iPad power brick (12W) my Macbook takes around 12 hours to fully charge. which is about 4 times the amount required to charge it on the original apple charger. This is because the Macbook uses about 10 watts while running, leaving only 2 remaining watts to charge the battery. I purchased this to keep plugged in at my desk at work. It allows my Macbook to stay running on my desk all day and slowly charges the battery.

The cables work great and do what is required. They do not charge at full Type C charging rates because they meet the USB 2.1 spec due to the Type A connector on the other end. We have bought several of these and have found that they eventually begin to fail at the connector just behind the yellow band. There is no strain relief and they tend to pull or wiggle out from flexing. With careful use, it does not happen for quite a while. If a rugged cable is needed look for one that has a braided exterior and good strain relief. They will also be more expensive. Because of the price point I am giving these cables 4 stars. If they cost any more the rating would drop. I would and have bought again and would recommend them for the price and overall quality / performance.

Great cord
Great cord if you have a phone for USB-C and want to use existing USB stuff up to and including your car's Android Auto, for example. I have two of these since I'm an Uber driver, I bought 2 thinking tons of people would have USB-C phones that needed charging and so my combo micro-USB/iPhone cords wouldn't cut it. Well, as it turns out, not a single rider has asked me for USB-C but weeks later I replaced my old phone with a Pixel XL and needed one for myself. Overall, if you're in the market for a USB-C to USB cord, look no further. They are a bit long for use in the car but I rolled mine up into a sort of circle with a loop around it and that made it perfect for my own purposes. I'd consider this company for a shorter or longer cord as well as it charges quickly and has stood up so far to consistent use. EDIT: one of these is now completely useless because the cheap port is totally shot. It no longer fits in a USB port because the metal is damaged. It was rolled up in my center console so I don't know how it got damaged, but now I have to buy a new one. I will go with a better brand. The one I've been using regularly is fine, but my spare is now shot. Consider another brand like Anker which has given me no problems. Truth be told I'm not sure why I didn't go with them at first.

CableMatters replaced my non-compliant USB-C to USB-A cables!
In anticipation of getting my new Nexus 6P, I ordered a bunch of these USB-C to USB-A cables to replace all my micro-USB to USB-A cables I have around the house. Unfortunately, Google, Anker and Monoprice were all sold out of USB-C cables so I decided to get the cables made by CableMatters. They had solid reviews for other cables so they seemed to be legit. Let's just say I was disappointed when I read Benson Leung's review that the CableMatters cables did not adhere to the USB-C spec. $45 in potentially bad cables. https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts I emailed CableMatters to ask if there's anything they could do about the situation. They wrote back immediately 1) acknowledging the problem, 2) saying their manufacturer already implemented the fix and 3) offered to send me replacements! I just got the replacement cables today. Awesome customer service and look forward to buying their cables in the future. If you happened to buy these CableMatters USB-C cables in late Oct / early Nov, you should reach out to CableMatters to ask for replacements. Update: I noticed a bunch of recent reviews mention that the supposed "new" cables still fail when using the CheckR app. I checked all my new cables using the app and they pass, so I'm keeping my 5 star review up!

Good quality, lacks fast charging.
It's a decent quality cable, however, it doesn't provide fast charging technology.
