PAID: $9.49 on sale 4/30/2025 for BLUE 100W C-to-C Cable 2-pack (INIU Model DI-D5CC)SUMMARY: Given their QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, and stand-out ATTRACTIVENESS, these cables are a bargain even at full price, like all the INIU cable sets and "Paw Print" powerbanks I've purchased over the years. That said, INIU offers frequent sales and coupons, which delight bargain hunters like me, and enable me to keep adding to my collection of gifts for the adults in my large extended family.TOP-NOTCH CUSTOMER SERVICE: INIU's 3-year warranty and responsive generous customer service is second to none in this business. I've interacted several times with Karlin, the support rep who responds on the Amazon Seller support channel, and he/she is always pleasant, quick to respond, and dedicated to customer satisfaction. NOTE: I contact SimpleLife LLC mostly for product questions, confusing or out-of-date info on their product pages, and occasionally because I've been sent an opened user return when I'd hoped for pristine packaging for gifting purposes. Only once, years ago, was I dissatisfied with the performance of one of their powerbank models, and only because it didn't live up to the performance I'd come to expect from their "Paw Print" line of powerbanks, of which I've purchased almost 30 units of varying models over the years. I will say that INIUs use (or overuse) of a given model number for certain products with different specs can be confusing, so I don't rank them highly for version control. Still, they manage to maintain high quality and great customer service at a VERY LOW PRICE POINT, and that is why they're my favorite vendor for quality budget charging equipment, with Anker and Aukey trailing by quite a bit, IMHO.PURCHASE DECISION: I purchased these cables because of the beautiful color, my confidence in INIU cable quality, and the 100W capacity that distinguishes them from most of my previous cable purchases, which would be suitable only for typical cell phone charging. I'd had my eye on them (in every color) for several months, for gifting purposes, because I like to let my family members pick what's useful for them. My gifts have to be extreme sale or bulk pricing, or I couldn't afford so many. When my quality budget picks are also "eye candy", I can be sure they'll be popular.HIGHLY DURABLE: I own and use other black INIU cables with the same form factor, both the basic 60W and the 240W capable models. I also own some cool flat red & black fabric sheathed INIU Micro-USB cables from years ago, that I treasure. I might not be as hard on cables as some users, (and I don't put bending pressure near the connectors, where many cables fail from abuse), but I've never had an INIU cable fail me. I've never had an INIU cable split or expose wires like some of the TPU (Apple style) cables will do.POWER CAPACITY, SAFETY, and USB-IF "SPEC MET": These cables have a "Certified Emark dual chip", per their product page. An "E-Marker" (electronic marker) is required, by the USB-IF specifications, on C-to-C cables that will run 5 Amp current, aka loads of 100W and above. (Typical 60W phone charging cables support a max of 3A of current up to 20V, but aren't usually able to detect misbehaving power supplies or devices that may draw too much and cause the cable to overheat, for example.)The E-Marker supports communication between the power source and the device being charged, for safety purposes and to enable the maximum safe supported charging speeds and protocols for the components on each end of the cable. LESSON: Never buy a cheap C-to-C cable without an E-Marker chip and USB-IF certification ... or, as in the case of these INIU cables, USB-IF "compliance" or "specification met". USB-IF "compliance" isn't really a thing, but I interpret it to mean that they have implemented this cable to meet the USB-IF specification, but haven't paid for and passed certification testing, which means they can't use the USB-IF logo on the product or packaging. However, they claim the Emark2.0 Chip they use HAS been certified (several companies manufacture them), and they've presumably wired up the pins correctly to support "compliant" behavior, to "auto-detect" devices and deliver the required power. I've seen user photos showing one of their 100W cables supplying about 89.5W (19.8V ~ 4.5A), so I believe the INIU 100W capability claims. I did not have the ability to test at those charging speeds, but I did a quick test with what I had at hand, and verified delivery of 25W (9.2V ~ 2.7A)WHITE LED STRIP NOT TOO BRIGHT: The current INIU cable offerings all seem to have this same form factor, with a "power indicator" LED strip on one of the slim metal connectors, but the LED is a bit different for different models. The 60W black cables have a VERY bright green LED that remains lit up as long as the cable is plugged into a charger, even if there is no device connected to it. INIU responded to user comments by dimming the green LED strip WAY down, on the black 240W cables, until it's almost not detectable in a brightly lit room. The 240W cable's LED doesn't turn on unless the cable is receiving power AND a device is connected to it. On most of these 100W cables, the LED is white, not green, and has a medium brightness that is neither obnoxious nor undetectible, and it does not light up unless power is available and a device is connected. I like the white LED, but I see from some user photos that some black 100W models have a green LEd.My personal preference in cables is to have NO LED, but I like INIU quality and price so much, that I purchase them anyway.

I recently purchased the INIU USB C Cable, 240W, 6.6ft 2-Pack and I am really impressed with its performance! These cables provide fast charging and are incredibly durable, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to charge their devices quickly and efficiently. Here’s my experience with them:Pros:Super Fast Charging: These cables are capable of delivering up to 240W of power, which is fantastic for fast charging my devices. I’ve used them with my laptop and phone, and I noticed a significant boost in charging speed compared to my older cables. Whether I’m charging my phone or my tablet, it doesn’t take long to get a full charge.Durable Braided Design: The braided nylon material makes these cables highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. I’ve had issues with other cables fraying or breaking over time, but these feel incredibly sturdy and hold up well even with daily use. The cables are also tangle-free, which is a big bonus.Long Length: At 6.6 feet, these cables provide plenty of length, making it easy to charge my devices from a distance. Whether I’m using it while charging at my desk or in bed, the extra length ensures I can comfortably use my device while it’s charging.Wide Compatibility: These cables are compatible with a variety of devices, including phones, laptops, tablets, and other USB-C powered devices. I’ve used them with multiple devices without any issues, which adds to their versatility.Reinforced Connectors: The connectors are reinforced and fit securely into devices without any wobble or disconnects. They also feature a snug fit, ensuring efficient power transfer and reliable charging.Cons:Stiffness (at first): While the braided material is very durable, the cables are a bit stiffer compared to regular rubber-coated cables when you first use them. However, after some use, they loosen up and become more flexible, so this is not a major issue.May be too thick for some cases: If you have a phone or tablet with a very tight case or small charging port, the thicker design of these cables might be a little challenging to fit. However, this is not a problem in most cases.Conclusion:Overall, the INIU USB C Cable [240W, 6.6ft 2-Pack] is an excellent choice for anyone looking for reliable, fast charging cables that are built to last. The combination of fast charging, durability, and length makes these cables stand out from other options on the market. Whether you need them for your phone, laptop, or tablet, these cables are a great investment. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to upgrade their charging setup!
