Does this cable support fast charging?

It supports up to 15W (3A at 5V). That is enough for standard charging but below the 20W to 100W that Power Delivery cables and chargers can deliver.

Can I use it to connect a USB-C phone to a laptop?

Yes. It is a USB-A to USB-C cable, so it plugs into a standard USB-A port and transfers data at up to 480Mbps.

Will it work with a USB-C charger?

No. One end is USB-A, so it needs a USB-A port or charger. For a USB-C charger you need a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Is it good for charging a laptop?

No. At 15W it is far below what most USB-C laptops need, so use it for phones, earbuds and small accessories.

How is it different from Anker's braided cables?

This is the standard reinforced cable. Anker's braided and higher-wattage lines add a woven exterior and faster charging, at a higher cost.

Where is the Anker USB Type C Cable cheapest?

At Walmart, for $9.99, as of our latest check.

Our take on the Anker USB Type C Cable

The Anker USB-C Cable is a plain USB-C to USB-A charging and data cable built for everyday use. It supports up to 15W charging (3A at 5V) and data transfer up to 480Mbps, which is standard USB 2.0 speed. Anker claims reinforced construction that lasts 12 times longer than ordinary cables, and the cable works with any device that has a USB-C port. It suits people who want a dependable spare or replacement cable rather than fast charging or high-speed data. Against braided or 100W-rated cables, it is basic: no USB-C to USB-C, no Power Delivery, no display or file-transfer speed beyond USB 2.0. Buyers rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 197 ratings, with durability the usual point of praise.
