Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable is down to $14.24, its best-ever price yet thanks to this Prime Day deal. Normally $18—and already a pretty good get at that price—this splitter cable is a must-have for techies now that it’s discounted by a few bucks.
This cable’s 2-in-1 design is the star of the show. It works like any USB-C cable, except one end is split into two connections. That means you can plug this into a charger plug or power bank and hook up two devices at the same time for simultaneous charging. You could also use it to connect multiple devices to a laptop, like a mouse or keyboard and a storage drive. Great for slimming down and reducing cable clutter.
The single end of the cable is 3 feet long while the split end is 1 feet long, for a total cable length of 4 feet. And it’s a powerful cable, too, able to charge at up to 140W when a single USB-C is in use—fast enough to use with most laptops, including some lower-power gaming machines. When two devices are hooked up, it’ll smartly distribute power between the two connections depending on the devices. Sometimes that means the total charging power will sum to less than 140W.
One caveat is that in order to take full advantage of this cable, you’ll need a power source (i.e., charger or power bank) that’s capable of putting out that much power. A dinky 15W charger will cap out at 15W no matter what cable you use. The other caveat is that while this cable can do data transfers, it only works between one device and the host—the second split end is for power only—and it maxes out at 480 Mbps.
I bet you don’t have this kind of USB-C cable in your arsenal. It’s the kind that comes in handy a lot more often than you think, so if you’re thinking of getting one, this Prime Day deal is a good time to jump on it. A new all-time low price means it’s a no-brainer.
