Reddit reviews Anker Powerline II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (3ft) with Power Delivery, for Apple MacBook, Huawei Matebook, iPad Pro 2020, Chromebook, Pixel, Switch, and More Type-C Devices/Laptops

You don't need a TB3 cable.

Just look for the 10gbps or Gen 2 in the description and get a cable from Anker, Monoprice, AmazonBasics or Plugable. These are always 3.3ft (1m) or less see the table here https://community.cypress.com/docs/DOC-10693

1. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7NS3DD (cheapest of the bunch)
   
2. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24285
   
3. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerline-Delivery-Matebook-Chromebook/dp/B072JYDQ7N
   
4. https://plugable.com/products/usbc-c100/
   
   These brands can safely be recommended.
   
   I distinguished this comment -- which is probably a slight abuse my mod privileges -- to signal that I know more of these affairs to avoid the "A said X, B said Y" dilemma. You need to trust me :)

You're going to want USB-IF certified cables + chargers, and not just ones that say they are.
This cable from Anker is a full-featured Type C to Type C cable, if you need a 3.1 Gen 2 cable that supports 100W charging.
This cable from Veckle is the same - 100W, full-featured 3.1 Gen 2. Unfortunately 3ft/1m is the longest you're going to get with a 3.1Gen2 cable.
If you want a charging-only cable this 2-pack of 6ft cables is also capable of 100W charging, but only USB 2.0 speeds for data.
EDIT:
This j5create cable is a bit pricey and short (2.3ft). It's a 100W USB 3.1 Gen 2 cable, and it is extremely well-built. That's not to say the rest of the cables are poor in quality, but this one goes above and beyond. I wouldn't get this unless you have more money than you know what to do with.

This is my ipad-focused case that I keep in my backpack. It contains the following:

(1) USB C to Lightning Cable

(1) USB C to USB C Cable

(1) USB A to Lightning Cable

(1) Foldable Keyboard

(1) USB C Hub

(1) 45W USB C Power Bank & (1) 45W Wall Charger

(1) Set of Apple Airpods

(2) 128GB Flashdrives

I'm also using this case for my iPad, and this screen protector.

Hope this helps!

1. You are correct. the cable which comes with the new iPad pro is a USB 2.0 spec. Cannot support 4k external monitors and cannot charge at the fastest USB C can charge.
   
2. Your cables will not cause any problems but they will also not charge your iPad at the fastest speed it can. This cable charges my iPad super fast in conjunction with this charger. The cable is a USB C gen 2 cable which means it supports much faster charging and data transfer (the new iPad has a gen 2 port) and can output to 4k monitors. I also charge my Lenovo yoga 720 at full speed with no issues (Dell doesn't normally allow you to use any other USB C charger aside from the one the laptop came with). For a good 6ft USB C to USB A charger (at 3.0 speeds but not at USB C gen 2 speeds) I recommend this.
   
3. No you will have no issues using a slower speed cable. Except that you will charge slower and transfer data slower and cannot output to 4k monitors. I answered your question in answer #2.
   
4. Do not worry about the voltage. Unless you are out of America the voltage is not an issue because the device is able to detect it and monitor to make sure it's not taking too much voltage or getting too little. What you probably mean to ask is about the Wattage. USB C supports much higher wattage and generally the higher the wattage the faster it will charge (won't harm the device by charging faster since once again the iPad regulates to make sure it's not taking too much too fast). The charger that I linked above has a USB C power delivery port and will output 60 Watts to your iPad to charge it at its max speed. I do not believe that a USB C charger outputting at 80 Watts would charge your iPad even faster (but I could be mistaken).
   
5. Yes you can charge your iPad from your Dell docking station. It says straight on their website "USB Power Delivery USB Type-C cable supports up to 130W to power your laptop and peripherals." Up to 130W means it will charge your iPad at its max speed as long as you have a gen 2 USB C to USB C cable that supports it (like the one I linked above).
   
   Hope all of this helps and you enjoy your new iPad as much as I enjoy mine! :)

Your charger is fine. The cable is the problem. USB-A to USB-C won't work. USB-C to USB-C can work if the cable is rated for power delivery. I bought one from J-Go Tech and another from Anker. Both of these work:

Anker is Google approved.

How does this cord compare the $9 one you linked? Of course, I'd rather buy the $9 cord, but I'd get the $20 if there was a reason to do so. I plan to use this primarily with my Switch and Switch branded Anker PD 20000. Thanks!

Anker did a survey on their community forums earlier this year gauging interest in such a product. So it is at least on their minds.

There are some serious hurtles to selling a Huawei SuperCharge compatible charger. Because of how different Huawei SuperCharge is from most other fast charging standards.

• Anker would need to either license the tech from Huawei. Or come up with their own tech which can mimic it. Like how PowerIQ 2.0/3.0 mimic Qualcomm's Quick Charge.
  
• A Huawei fast charger has power converter circuits in the charger. Most other phones have it in the phone. So the charger itself is more complicated and expensive.
  
• It must include a 5A USB-C to USB-C cable. Anker currently only has one cable with those specs, and it costs $20. They likely would need to design a new, slightly cheaper cable (no USB 3.1).
  
• A Huawei fast charger will not fast charge any other brand of phone. By offering PowerIQ 3.0 Anker can catch more iPhone and non-Huawei Android users. A Huawei charger would only be for Huawei owners. And Anker would have increased returns from non-Huawei users buying it, thinking 25-40W would charge their phone faster.
  
• Huawei is the 2nd/3rd most popular brand of smartphone in the world. But that is mostly in Europe and Asia. The US market is negligible. And Huawei hasn't been doing well in US news this year due to the political issues. Anker serves all those regions, but a new product that won't thrive in all regions is less attractive.
  
  Contact Anker and add your vote for them making such a charger. But also understand the technical and marketing issues involved. It isn't as easy of a sale as you think.

They have one full-featured cable in the lineup (USB 3.1, 100W charging), but it's only 1m long. If you want longer, you'll need to find a 2.0 cable with 100W charging from elsewhere. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JYDQ7N

I bought this ones, just in case:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JYDQ7N/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&psc=1

Thanks, I believe I have that exact charger, works for quick charge the Note and also good enough for my nintendo switch in dock mode.

the cable I went for this one:
Anker PowerLine II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (3ft)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072JYDQ7N/

The V30 can use either Quick Charge or Power Delivery to fast charge. You do need a proper cable, look for ones that explicitly call out high-watt Power Delivery support.

Thanks for your clarifications ! So this Aukey charger seems to compatible with PD2.0 of the Pixel, that's a good news.
With that I think I'm going to buy this Anker USB-C cable with USB IF certification. Could you confirm it's a good one to enable PD2.0 with the Aukey charger ?

This combo is pretty expensive but if I wanna have a PD compatible charger I think it's a minimum.

Sorry for my short answers I'm on my phone and the GBoard keep correcting me for every english words aha. But really thank you for your précise answers !

All C cables support data, but there is a wide range of speeds. Try grabbing one of these 3.1 Gen 2: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072JYDQ7N/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_azVWDbP2BTNYB

You'll notice commonly the cable is thicker, 3ft is the max length, and the tips are longer than normal.

I would like to know if you guys are gonna offer more sizes for the Anker PowerLine II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable in the future? 3 Feet is not long enough for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JYDQ7N/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_WnKSBb765Y95Z

Yeah, I think PowerLine II is the only way to go right now for PD.

If you're just looking for a basic C-C cable, I've had good luck with the AmazonBasics and Anker cables and any of them should be fine.

However, in the past year or so, I've been making an effort future proof myself as I'm replacing more and more devices with USB-C ones. I've bought several of these Anker Powerline II C-C cables when they go on sale because they're capable of USB 3.1 data speeds and up to 100W of power, which is especially useful for laptops that charge over USB-C versus 30W or 60W with cheaper cables. Just kind of a way to more fully realize the USB-C dream, I guess.
