Recommendations for short USB C cable?

UnworthyBean · 12 Oct 2020 at 12:04

Trying to find a reliable USB C cable for my car but not having much luck. It needs to be as short as possible, ideally around 15cm but could go to 30cm.

Normally I'd go to Anker for this sort of thing but they don't seem to offer anything smaller than 90cm?

Sorry but is the cable your after a USB c to USB c or a USB c to a USB a or a usb c to micro USB ?.

I have tried quite a few supposedly high-end cables but these I always go back to are the rainforest own basics, they do the normal ones and the thick braided ones, very good cables indeed.

I have one of those. Worked with my Pixel 4 and Poco F2 Pro in my car.

Looks good enough to me if both of you can vouch for Amazons range, will give it a shot thanks.

I bought this and tested the shorter cable in my car and it worked perfectly for Android Auto and AA is usually very fussy when it comes to cables.
