As the title suggests. I am looking for a 6ft TRUE C-to-C cable USB 3.1 (10Gb) that also support Quick Charge 3.0. I have the Black Squid 3.3ft, but I need a few cables longer than 3.3ft.
Please advice!

Benson Leung has been evaluating USB-C cables on Amazon for full compliance and leaving reviews. Any cable he's signed off on should work.

I bought 2 meter type c braided cable and the quality is superb. Tested by Benson, available on amazon or aliexpress.

I have this one and it does not enable the "Quick Charging" feature on my phone when I plug it in, it just charges it. I had to buy a different cable for quick charging to appear. Just a heads up.

So since Quick Charge 3 isn't technically spec for USB C, none of the Benson Leung cables will ~actually~ charge at full Quick Charge speed, correct? Is there a consensus on the best quality cable that will charge at full speed, preferably USB 3.0/3.1? It looks like a lot of the cables with the 56k ohm resistor in it don't hit QC3 speed and I just don't want to fry my phone.
What's wrong with the cable that comes with the phone?
The one for the nexus 6p is the best I've used. I've used the lg G5 one but not the one that it comes with
The best cable is the one that comes with the phone...

The problem with the one that comes with the phone is it's only USB 2.0 I believe, and they're $20 cables. There's got to be better cables out there than that that are USB 3.0.
Here is the list with verified USB3.0 to type c cables.

There was nothing said about what's going to be included besides the headphone adapter but I'm curious if the newer model will have the USB A to USB C adapter like last year's model.

Why those cables specifically?
according to this site, they list the contents of the box as:
The smartphone.
USB-C charger.
USB-C to 3.5mm earphone adapter.
User guide.
Power adapter.
edit: likely a copy paste from the official google site... scroll down almost to the bottom of the screen look for "whats in the box"

what you want in cables / charges / adapters that use usb c
is to be USB-IF Certified
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...tronics&field-keywords=USB-IF+Certified+cable
in the market now there are not many options
and the anker were cheaper than belkin
It has a usb A to usb C adapter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-wiVkzyOKU

so no cable
but according to google it only for transferring data from your old phone
but i think it is the same one with the first pixel
maybe someone will confirm this
I see there may be a couple of USB-C ethernet adapters on Amazon... and at least 1 review seems to say the fancy Anker one with 3 micro-LEDs for status works. On sale at $16, I was about to jump, but realized it leaves me with no power. Has anyone tried one of these USB-C to ethernet + power + [maybe somethign else] break out boxes that isn't closing in on $100 and gotten it to work? Most seem to come with at least one other port such as HDMI, which would be interesting if it worked but ignorable at the right price if it didn't.
1 comment says this works: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-1-Gigabit-Compatible-ChromeBook/dp/B00ZZ6NW5E
https://www.amazon.com/LC-dolida-Adapter-Ethernet-Delivery-Charging/dp/B0794WTTLS .. if it works with the Pixel 2!... would be great to add charging. But somehow I doubt it works with the phone. Surely someone has tried this out there!
Thanks!
I do have an anker usb c hub with USB power delivery that works and gives me more usb c ports. Apart from that I also have a USB c to ethernet adapter from AliExpress and when I put that one in the anker one the phone does charge and have ethernet working

Nice, thanks!
Id really like to fine a nice usb-a to usb-c adapter as my MacBook only has usb-a ports and my pixel cable like everyone's is c to c.
Alternatively I'd like to also get a nice ubs-c to usb-a cable.
Lastly just for reference let's hear who has good usb-c to usb-c cables.
Not looking for cheap cables either, let's comprise a listing of only high quality products. Seems a waste to buy a near $1000 dollar phone only to plug it into a crap cable and accidentally fry it. I have no problem spending a little extra coin to ensure a quality product. I'm sure others can relate as well.

These are the only cables I will buy. Contacted Anker when I had an issue with one and they sent me a replacement no questions asked. Top notch product and customer service

I too only buy Anker cables. They are very high quality. I've had the same cable that was linked but in 6' for over a year now and it works great. Some of the best cables, chargers and accessories I've ever bought. I also have an Anker BT speaker that works very well.
I have a few of their latest version. No problems yet.

Wanted to bring this topic back to life.. What about USB-C to USB-C 3.1? I can't find anything longer than 3 feet... at least by a reputable company like Anker.. Any input? My motherboard has USB-C 3.1 onboard and the 3' cable is just too short.. I can get one from Google.. $30

When in doubt, start with Monoprice and compare from there. That said, buying USB-C stuff is super confusing these days with USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen1, USB 3.1 Gen2, and now this USB 3.2 stuff coming out (that rebrands USB 3.0 and 3.1 stuff to 3.2). All that said, see if maybe this is what you're looking for? The moment you start going to 3.1 instead of 2.0 or 3.0, you start getting some expensive and thick cables.
Speaking of Monoprice, I'm a big fan of this charger - 45W for $17 right now. I own 3.

Looks like that will do the trick! I just need one long enough to use with my computer. I prefer using the USB C port on my desktop ... I know regular USB-C to USB works fine.. Just my preference. Thanks! I always forget about Monoprice and their wonderful cable selections!
I'm looking for a longer cable ( maybe not white) that can still charge at 33W using the included charger but i'm really confused.
It seems that the provided cable is only usb 2.0 (like the phone) but has an extra pin in the ground position in the usb3.0 layout. That pin is probably used to communicate to the provided charger (CC pin in the type C port for standard Type C to Type C PD cables) following the power delivery specifications.
Are common usb3.1 A to C cables fully compatible with the charger or i'm forced to buy a new charger too? Anyone that has already bought a cable has some advice?

The cable just need to be 3A to delivery 11V/33W.
I bought this: Orico B2-ACA01 and works like stock Xiaomi cable (appers Mi Turbo Charge on screen).
My older cable Orico HTF-10 is just 2.4A and can't achive 33W.
Well, there is another options to buy: Baseus, Blitzwolf, Anker. Look about amperes, need to be more than 3A and deliveries 33W or higher.
