The Review: Here's my take on the Anker 4FT 2-in-1 USB C to USB C 140W Cable
What do you have when you create a charging cable that multitasks without making a mess? You come up with a 4ft 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C cable made by Anker, a clever solution for anyone who juggles multiple USB-C devices. This low-profile cable will morph a chaotic tech setup into a well-organized device charging setup. Let's take a closer look at this charging cable and share my impressions. wow
Let's Address the Design and Build
As expected with Anker, the braided cable feels premium and, thus far, does an adequate job of resisting tangling, which is a significant win for people like myself who are minimalists when it comes to cable management.
The length of the cable is ideal for desktop setups, and bedside charging — long enough for reach, yet short enough for the cable to stay tidy. The connector itself is solid, with a nice, snug fit with no wobbling. The fast charging adapter snaps directly in place, unlike the majority of dongles that have a flimsy feel.
The Functioning Cable
The 2-in-1 tip of the cable allows users to switch between USB-C and Lightning connections by simply sliding it into the adapter. It's nothing I haven't seen before, but it's practical, to say the least — especially for workspaces with mixed devices that need to be charged.
When it comes to the charging speed, it's very respectable. It supports up to a 60W adapter, which is sufficient power for smartphones, tablets, and even laptops.

Real World Usage
The cable does shine in shared environments, especially when I'm charging multiple devices at home. Anker's 2-in-1 cable excels at fast charging devices. Especially if you have a high-voltage charging adapter (45W-60W) or a Quick Charge smartphone. I was able to charge my Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra from 53% battery life to 100 % in just 35 minutes, thanks in part to the cable's 140W Max charging capabilities.
The Verdict
Anker's 2-in-1 cable isn't trying to be the fastest or fanciest. It's trying to be useful — and it succeeds. It's the kind of cable you'll rely on for daily usage. If you value simplicity, durability, and a touch of versatility, this cable will earn a spot in your tech toolkit.
The Anker 2-in-1 140W charging cable is available on Amazon for just $16.99.
