Today’s Deal is on a 5-pack of durable, USB-C braided cables from AUKEY.  The pack of cables consists of one 6.6′ cable, three 3.3″ cables and one 1′ cable.  All of the cables are USB-C to USB-A so they you can plug them into any standard USB port.  Today and the rest of this week, you can pick up this pack of cables for $14.99 when you use the coupon code AUKCM007.

The cables support USB 3.1 and have data transfer rates up to 5Gbps while safely charging your devices at up to 3A with a 56k ohm resistor.  That means that the cables are able to take on Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging or Qualcomm Quick Charge to charge your compatible devices quickly, efficently and safely.

Today’s Deal comes from Choetech on their durable USB-C cables.  Right now you can pick up a 3-pack of the nylon braided cables for $12.99 on Amazon.  That’s a $7 savings off the regular price.

The 3-pack of cables includes two 1m (3.3′) cables and one 2m (6.6′) cable, all of which support up to 5Gbps transfer speeds and USB 3.0.  All of the cables are USB-A to USB-C and are, of course, backwards compatible to older USB 2.0 and 1.1 connectors (but you lose the transfer speeds).

Today’s Deal is on a 3-pack of 3′ USB Type-C cables from Anker.  This pack of cables is great for those with a MacBook Pro, a Nexus or Pixel phone or any other USB Type-C device and today it is down to $18.69 on Amazon.  Long time readers will know that I have recommended Anker products for a long time.  They work well, have great durability and are backed by a great warranty.

Anker Powerline USB Type-C Cables

Virtually every cable I have in my office is Anker and I don’t see that ending any time soon.

This 3-Pack gives you three Type-C cables that are designed to give up to 5Gbps transfer speeds (although most devices can hit that mind you), are rubberized for durability and protection of the cabling inside and, on the USB Type-A connector, supports USB 3.0 technology to give you fast throughput. The cables also have a kevlar lining to help them withstand thousands of bends as you use them.  They are built to last and should do that for you but, like other Anker products, these cables are backed up with an 18 month warranty against defects.

The deal on Amazon is for today only and the pack of cables does have Amazon Prime shipping (free) for those who are members.  There is also no limit on the number of packs you buy in Today’s Deal but the price is good while supplies last.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is a great one if you are looking for a charging dock for your USB Type-C devices.  Right now you can pick up the Archeer USB C Charging Dock for just $11, a savings of 72% off the normal $27.95 price.  The stand is designed to hold your Android phone charge it thanks to a connection on the back for a standard MicroUSB connector which you plug into an electrical source.  This won’t give you fast charging but, as it is designed to sit on your desk, fast charging may not be as big a deal for you.
