Customer Ratings & Reviews

An excellent cable, value, far exceeded expectations and the Best Buy site is easy to navigate and make perchases.

This was a real great heavy duty cord. Also, the length was perfect.

The 7’ Insignia Braided USB-C ended cable sounded great but the cable was four times as thick as the Apple cable and very stiff. It plugged in fine to my charging block but my iPhone 16 Pro was not as friendly with it. I will need to get a different type.

If you just need a basic charging cable for your phone, there are plenty of options. But when you need to step up your game, you’ll find those cables insufficient for advanced uses that require the ability for rapid data transfer. That’s where this braided cable from Insignia comes in, which features high speed data transfers up to 20 Gbps. Your mileage will vary of course depending on your devices, ports, operating system, software, etc… But the theoretical capacity is there depending on your use case. For me, I wanted a cable with that would allow me to attach my Nikon to my MacBook so I can capture photos and videos directly into my laptop. In photography, this is known as tethered shooting. Many cameras comes with a high-speed cable, including mine. But they are generally too short to be useful. This Insignia cable is 7’ in length and gives me plenty of reach to set up my camera where it needs to be. It also has solid strain relief, the kind needed to ensure a dedicated connection into the camera and laptop. It’s really annoying when more flimsy cables disconnect on you in the middle of a shoot. My only nit with this cable is I wish it came with an elbow connector as well.

The Insignia 7’ USB-C to USB-C impresses right out of the box. The first thing I noticed is that this is a beefy USB-C to USB-C cable. Its construction is such that the cable holds its shape when straightened or bent; it stays where you put it and does not want to coil back up on itself. The braided fabric covering is durable and should do a good job protecting the cable when fished through tight spaces. With its 7’ length, 60W power rating, and 20Gbps data speeds, this Insignia Charge-and-Sync cable is perfect for use in connecting my PC to my USB-C dock with PD. The USB-C connectors at either end of the cable have substantial strain relief incorporated in their construction which should further enhance durability. The cable includes a stretchy adjustable strap to secure unused length, if needed. Data transfers are predictably quick. I connected a 2TB external SSD to my PC and copied a 2GB file from PC to SSD in just a few seconds. The same operation using a USB 3.0 port took the better part of a minute. The Insignia 7’ USB-C to USB-C Charge-and-Sync cable is a product of quality construction and an excellent value.

This USB C cable is both nicely designed and works exactly as you would expect. I also like that it is clearly labeled of its capabilities right on the ends of the plug. The braided material of the cable itself is also very clean and comfortable, while also making it easy to either unravel or roll up for storage. The braiding also makes it very easy to position without any issues of kinks or rigidity getting in the way if you're trying to run the cable through other obstacles. The wrap-around tie is also a nice touch. Making it easy to store it neatly when it's not in use, or if you want to slip it into your bag. The light green accent color is also nice, if you happen to have other similar colored cables to help distinguish this one apart from the others, so you could easily choose the cable with the right capabilities. Transfer speeds and charging both worked very well using this cable, and with any device I chose. I transferred photos from my phone and charged my headphones without any issues. Pros: nicely designed, braided cable is excellent, transfer speeds and charging met expectations Cons: I kind of wish the actual end of the cable was a bit shorter, so it wouldn't have to stick out as far from the device that it is plugged into, but that is a minor complaint.

Not all data and charging cables are created equal, that's something I honestly used to not know for a really long time. Sure, I knew physically some were better than others, but as far as performance, I just assumed they all worked the same. I can assure you now that I was wrong, and this Insignia cable is proof positive of that, as it may just be the best performing usb-c cable I have. First thing you notice though is how thick it is and how nice the exterior is and how it feels. I think this may also be the thickest usb-c cable I have (and I have a LOT). It's just a solid cable and feels like it should last. What makes this cable worth the price though, is its performance when it comes to data transfer. I like seeing real numbers so I decided to put it to a test. I got one of my newest external SSDs, and selected a folder with 10 GB of files from my laptop to transfer to the SSD. First I used the usb-c cable that actually came with the SSD, which is a really thick and quality cable itself, and then I swapped just the cable with this Insignia cable and transferred the same 10GB folder. Using the original SSD cable, the transfer took 39.12 seconds. With this Insignia cable, that same transfer only took 22.48 seconds. That is a significant improvement and honestly had me thoroughly impressed. I did also tested it for charging a mobile device and it honestly performed about the same as other charging cables I have. When it comes to charging though, the length of this cable is what makes it nice. Overall, for something as simple as a usb-c cable, this one impressed me enough that I would definitely recommend it, even if just for the data transfer performance alone.

I wish I had a lot to write about this cable, but unfortunately I don't. That's mostly because it does exactly what Best Buy's Insignia brand says it does, and it does it very well. It also does it in a package that is both solid and stylish. I'll hit on a few of the things I really like, and the one extremely, positively minor quibble that I have with it: 1. Solid: This cable is THICK. It is so solid, I'm pretty sure I'll still be using this in the 2030s (if we're still around). 2. Robust: The plugs themselves and their strain-relief are top notch. If anything, they may be a bit TOO much for some, but not me. I've had it with flimsy cables. I'd rather pay more for a cable that lasts, but fortunately I didn't really have to with this one. 3. Price: Yeah, it's $20 bucks for a cable, but it is a perfect length, and SHOULD last you darn near forever. If it doesn't, you really need to reevaluate your relationship with tech. My one and only quibble: Color: While personally, I dig the silver/green of this cable, it's nice, I am a firm believer in tech 'blending' and this thing doesn't blend. Also, with the nice braided cover, it is going to get SO VERY DIRTY. Oooh! Almost forgot! Another plus is the nice cable tie that is attached. Perfect for a cable like this.

If you need a good, well-built cable, this is a great option. If you need reliability for professional work, I might look elsewhere. I tried this cable with my Surface Laptop Studio 2 which has USB 4 / Thunderbolt 4 ports which should support up to 40gbps speeds. I used two external hard drives and quickly ran into some compatibility issues. Specifically, I could never get reliable connections to my Samsung T7 Shield 4TB. It worked great with my Samsung T7 Touch 2TB. The issue with my T7 Shield is that it would often lose connection or get stuck in a transfer freezing the test or process. I never experienced this issue with my T7 Touch hard drive so I assume it is either due to the form/size of the plug not fitting properly or the fact there is no certification for Thunderbolt or USB4 that I could find on the product. To specify, devices need to claim USB4 or Thunderbolt version certification if they want to put that branding on the device. I did not see any such branding on the website for this product, so I do not think it has been certified with either of those standards. This is not a deal breaker. If you want to use it to charge your phone or transfer files with your device, it should work great. Both hard drives I used were rated at 10gbps transfers which I was able to get on the T7 Touch. I also got quick charging on my S24 Ultra which is rated for 45 Watts. I do some photography on the side, and I would not rely on this cable to transfer files that I might make money off of though.

This usb-c cable is the thickest one I have ever purchased. It did come as a surprise that it was such a hefty cable. It should last a while as it is braided & hard to even bend at the connector. Will not even fit into tight fitting cell phone cases without a wide opening.

Important Notice: this cable is THICK. That's definitely not a problem, but I did not expect it lol. The cable is high quality and i expect it to last quite a bit considering the materials used. Have not tested its full 240W charging capabilites but the fast data transfer is definitely there

I needed a monitor cable for my Mac Studio, which does work. I previously purchased a different cable last time but I needed a longer one when I purchased a second monitor. I purchased a different cable and it didnt work. I repeat this cable works as a monitor cable for a Mac Studio. For my setup the cable is the perfect length. If the cable is too long for you it has a cable tie attached to it. Speaking of the cable the outside is braided cloth and not plastic. For the price and its quaility build its a great price.

I needed a new cord to connect my ThinkPad to my laptop, and this one works perfectly. The length is just right, allowing me to position my laptop wherever I need while using three screens in my home office. The connection is lightning fast and reliable.

I like that it charges my phone fast as well as its long enough to where i don't have to sit so close to the charger while on my phone, I do not like the thickness of the charger but i guess its better than being a thin charger where it breaks faster but this cord is really nice.

I needed a USB C cable to connect my Mac Studio to a new OLED monitor I got over the holidays. Its weirdly difficult to find anything that clearly states it's capabilities without going to a shorter Thunderbolt cable Happy to say, the Mac saw the display right away, and even better, the cable seems to support full DP Alt mode as I get full 240hz and 48-240hz variable options with HDR in display settings. For my use case, this is perfect, and the price point makes it one of the more affordable USB C cables for data and display uses. I'll certainly consider more of these if I find myself in need of a cable that follows the true USB spec.

it is a long and study cable, fast charging and stylish.

Cable is very thick and seems to have a very long lifetime ahead. 20GB/sec flow sounds great—not yet tested. Keep in mind it is not Thunderbolt—and will charge a MacBook Air, but not handle the larger MacBook Pro chargers.

Love this cord, long length, fast charging, braided for longevity, highly recommend.

love the braided cord - no tangles, durable and quick charging.

I like this quick charger! It’s a little stiff braided, but I think with time it will lose some of that. Mainly, it charges the 15Max fast and easy
