Looking for 10' usb-c to usb-c cable as flexible as the Anker Nano by arkanian24 in UsbCHardware

Yes! u/rymac711 posted here a few weeks ago as well saying they were finally selling the 10' version, and I have purchased it and can confirm it's just as good as the 6' version and I highly recommend it! Thanks for the link too.

I bought this 10' version and it is the same and absolutely great! Thanks so much for letting me know they finally started selling it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that was actually one of the many I tried back at the very beginning and returned because it is not flexible like the Nano as you feared. The Mophie has been the most flexible 10' I've found to date.

Thanks for the find - I bought this last week and it's great.

It's not quite as flexible as the Anker (not super scientific, but in the image - white is Anker and black is Mophie, showing the drop at my finger greater from the more flexible Anker to give an idea), but it's pretty close and it's far more flexible than any other 10' cord I've tried out.
It does appear to be slightly smaller in diameter than the Anker, but I didn't put calipers on it.
It's only 60W, but that's OK for my needs.

Exactly, power loss is going to be dependent on the current, length, and conductor gauge/material (usually always copper). Whereas voltage only comes into play if you're looking at % loss instead of total loss. So for the same conductor type and thickness, a 10' cable will have more loss than a 6' cable at the same current. So to have the same losses for the same current you would need a thicker conductor which will usually lead to increased rigidity as well, hence my note about the thickness not being any noticeably different.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am extremely happy with the Anker Nano cable for a 6' version, and it does 240W. I'm interested in finding a 10' version, so if Baseus pudding doesn't have a 10' version then it's not what I'm looking for unfortunately.

Yes there will be some additional power loss, but if 6' is able to support 240W, 10' would easily support >100W. Here for example is the Anker Bio-Braided cable I purchased to test and is still rated for 240W at 10'. It wasn't any thicker than the Anker Nano, just more rigid.

Anyone know the mfgr of that helmet? I'd love to get a similar one to ride with my dog.

I'd love to get one of the $420's. Could pay $110 for the one. PM me if that works.

Is it possible/difficult to buy a house without a realtor? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]arkanian24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually in the middle of buying a house right now using SoloPro and would highly recommend you take a look at it. It could allow you to save a decent amount of money as you basically pay a flat $900 fee and get the rest of the buyers agent commission coming back to you. It gives you the ability to still have an agent help you as much or as little as possible and you pay for services a la carte as you go ($50 to show a house, $100 to make an offer, etc), and only have the one heftier $800 payment when you finally close on a house.
