Cable ruler · 8 cables

Same scale, so length is finally comparable

Every cable below is drawn against the same metre rule. Almost all of them carry 240W, which is the number the box shouts about, so the real differences are elsewhere: one moves data at 480Mb/s and another at 80Gb/s, and the published bend life ranges from six thousand cycles to three hundred thousand. That is the spread that decides which cable is still working in two years.

6 of 8 cables publish a length. Where a maker leaves a number out, we leave the row blank rather than filling it with a guess. Pair a cable with a charger in the kit builder to see whether it holds that charger back.
