Amazon is currently offering the Anker Prime USB-C to USB-C charging cord (6ft) at a 26% discount today. It normally goes for $35, but this discount takes $9 off the price, dropping it to $26.

The 6ft length offers just the right amount of flexibility for everyday charging, but if you’re after something a bit shorter, there are 1ft and 3ft versions of the same cable available. These are also discounted, going for $19 and $22, respectively.

Extremely durable, plus offers fast charging and transfer speeds

For $26, you’re getting a sturdy cable that’s designed to withstand over 300,000 bends before showing any signs of wear and tear. It can also support up to 220lbs without faltering, which makes it about 8 times more durable than its predecessors. The outer layer is crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled materials, so it’s also more eco-friendly than most standard options out there.

This cable is just as powerful. The 240W max delivers fast charging speeds, which can take a 16-inch MacBook Pro (M3 Pro) from 0 to 50% in just 26 minutes. It also supports data transfer speeds of 480Mbps, so moving files across devices won’t take forever. In fact, according to Anker, you can transfer four 3-minute songs in one second with the cable – quite literally. That means you can share bigger files, work files, personal projects, and media content without waiting around for long.

Another cool feature that deserves a mention is the extraordinary temperature resilience. You can keep your devices powered even in extreme temperatures from -40°F to 176°F without a problem!

Getting started is simple, as the cable works nicely with a wide range of devices. These include smartphones (by Pixel, Samsung, Apple), 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3rd-6th generation, 11-inch iPad Pro 1st-4th/M4/M5, 13-inch iPad Pro (M4/M5), MacBook Pro (2017-2025), MacBook Air (2018-2025), Lenovo Yoga 14s, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Series, HP Spectre Series, and quite a few more.

The box includes the Anker Prime USB-C to USB-C cable (6ft), a cord organizer, a welcome guide, and a lifetime warranty. The bundle normally retails for $35, but you can snap it up for just $26 today. Note that this 26% discount applies to the 6ft cable version. If you’re after something a bit on the shorter side, you can consider grabbing the 1ft or the 3ft version. Both are also discounted at the moment, sitting at $19 and $22, respectively. Remember, these deals won’t last long. It’s best to get your orders in as soon as you can to avoid paying the full price later.
