Amazon is currently offering the Anker Prime USB-C to USB-C charging cord (6ft) at a 26% discount today. It normally goes for $35, but this discount takes $9 off the price, dropping it to $26.<\/p>\n

The 6ft length offers just the right amount of flexibility for everyday charging, but if you\u2019re after something a bit shorter, there are 1ft and 3ft versions of the same cable available. These are also discounted, going for $19 and $22, respectively.<\/p>\n

Extremely durable, plus offers fast charging and transfer speeds<\/h2>\n

For $26, you\u2019re getting a sturdy cable that\u2019s designed to withstand over 300,000 bends before showing any signs of wear and tear. It can also support up to 220lbs without faltering, which makes it about 8 times more durable than its predecessors. The outer layer is crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled materials, so it\u2019s also more eco-friendly than most standard options out there.<\/p>\n

This cable is just as powerful. The 240W max delivers fast charging speeds, which can take a 16-inch MacBook Pro (M3 Pro) from 0 to 50% in just 26 minutes. It also supports data transfer speeds of 480Mbps, so moving files across devices won\u2019t take forever. In fact, according to Anker, you can transfer four 3-minute songs in one second with the cable \u2013 quite literally. That means you can share bigger files, work files, personal projects, and media content without waiting around for long.<\/p>\n

Another cool feature that deserves a mention is the extraordinary temperature resilience. You can keep your devices powered even in extreme temperatures from -40\u00b0F to 176\u00b0F without a problem!<\/p>\n

Getting started is simple, as the cable works nicely with a wide range of devices. These include smartphones (by Pixel, Samsung, Apple), 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd-6th generation, 11-inch iPad Pro 1st-4th\/M4\/M5, 13-inch iPad Pro (M4\/M5), MacBook Pro (2017-2025), MacBook Air (2018-2025), Lenovo Yoga 14s, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Series, HP Spectre Series, and quite a few…<\/p>\n
