  May not be cheapest cheapest but they are 100W and local, so you'll get them a lot faster than Ali. I use them, they're excellent. Either 0.5m or 2m options, in different listings

  Bought from ali, about $2-8 shipped depending on length

  i bought braided and unbraided, havent seen difference but make sure they are power draw 30W capable, or power draw 100w depending on your requirement

  takes about 1 to 2 months

      Vention feels better quality/finish, not sure of performance difference

      Note I don't know if they're rated for 30w PD, I have old phones and charger that doesn't do that PD stuff

  I use these, Ugreen 60w 2m cable from Amazon AU that cost me around $15ea which is less than half what sellers on Trade Me are selling them for https://www.amazon.com.au/UGREEN-Charging-Compatible-Samsung…

  I find Amazon AU to be the happy middle ground between the usually overpriced but quick to arrive things sold on Trade Me and the cheaper but take forever to arrive items from Aliexpress.

  I get mine from Aliexpress and the quality of them is really good. I would never recommend buying them in shops like JB Hi-fi or whatever. Those prices are rip off and the specs aren't as good.

  It really depends on your requirements. Some do 66W charging, some do 100W. You also need to have a look at the current as well. Higher current means faster charging. So for example, you could have 2 different cables that do 100W but charge at different speeds. One cable could be doing 5A and 20V (which gives 100W), the other cable could be doing 6A and 16.6V (which also gives you 100W). The latter would be faster. This is just an example but pay attention to the advertised amp in the specs. Generally speaking, most of the 100W cables that you'll find on Aliexpress would be good enough.

  I own 3 different GAN chargers and I'll link them below if you're interested:

  I use these to power my laptop, sometimes 2 laptops at the same time (using the 135W GAN charger). The cables I use are the 100W ones that I got from Aliexpress. No issues at all.

  Braided ones just gives slightly more protection and last longer. You can bend them a lot and not have to worry about breaking them.

  Also, if you want to use the USB-C cable for your monitor display, make sure to get ones that actually support this. For example, this one:

  I bought several different ones, at different lengths as well. I probably spent well over $100 on these cables. The ones I got are linked below:

  And in case you're wondering why I bought different ones, it's because they were discounted at different times and so I just bought whatever was the best and cheapest at the time. I bought heaps of them because I actually use a lot of them (and so does my wife and my parents).
