They\u2019re really nice to have because, at this point, I\u2019ve amassed so many devices that charge via USB-C. It\u2019s also common for more than one to need to be recharged at a time, which is where they come in handy. I can charge my Nintendo Switch 2 and work-issued MacBook Air, or my Google Pixel 9 Pro and Kindle, without taking up more than one port on the power adapter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">A couple of models that offer up to 140W passthrough charging speeds are currently matching their lowest price to date \u2014 including Anker\u2019s braided option, which is available from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CRZ6JJ6D\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anker.com\/products\/a8895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anker<\/a> in black or white starting at $14.99 ($3 off). If you don\u2019t mind paying a bit more for a slightly longer cable, Native Union\u2019s recycled 6.5-foot Belt Cable, which features an animal-free leather strap, is down to $23.99 ($6 off) in black or a zebra-like pattern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nativeunion.com\/products\/belt-cable-2-in-1-usb-c-to-usb-c-usb-c-cable-140w?variant=43814832308363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">directly from the manufacturer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Anker 140W 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C Cable<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/Anker-140W-2-in-1-USB-C-to-USB-C-Cable-Press-Image-2.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CRZ6JJ6D\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$17.99<\/strike> $14.99 at <strong>Amazon (four-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DGLJWBC6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$19.99<\/strike> $17.99 at <strong>Amazon (six-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anker.com\/products\/a8895\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$17.99<\/strike> $14.99 at <strong>Anker (four-foot)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While the two cables are slightly different lengths, functionality is identical. Both cables support USB 2.0 speeds topping out at 480 Mbps when connected to a data source, and only the first device connected to the two-headed cable can transfer data. They can also automatically allocate power across devices, depending on the speed of your wall adapter, sending more wattage to the higher-powered of the two devices you have plugged in.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Native Union 140W 2-in-1-USB-C cable<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/nativeuniontwoinone.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nativeunion.com\/products\/belt-cable-2-in-1-usb-c-to-usb-c-usb-c-cable-140w?variant=43814832308363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$29.99<\/strike> $23.99 at <strong>Native Union<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Native-Union-Belt-Cable-Multi-Device\/dp\/B0FM3KJ65X\/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> $29.99 at <strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are plenty of wall adapters that pair well with these cables, too, the kind that deliver zippy charging speeds to your connected devices.
