You should be able to use any cable with it, as the power bank will not support Warp charging. The OP cable requirement only applies to their chargers to get maximum speed.

You should be able to use any USB cable that has micro USB tips on both ends. Look for a male-to-male micro USB cable.
Not any cable, you need to get USB OTG cable, cost a few dollars on ebay or Amazon. It has micro-usb connector on one side (which goes to your phone) and full size female usb connector on the other side to connect any device (usb stick, mouse, keyboard, ext hard drive). Just make sure your phone supports USB OTG. Typically all the latest Galaxy phones should. That cable, usb on-the-go (OTG) has two pins shorted inside and turns your phone into a host so you can connect other peripheral devices, such as the one I listed above. And while it does that, it provides 5V power through USB bus like any usb host (your laptop or PC). As a result, you can charge other phones or devices from your smartphone. Just keep in mind, it will drain your battery
This is very useful, for example, if you have Note 2 with 9600 mAh Zerolemon extended battery (in my case), and use your phone to charge other devices with extra juice

Is it safe do plug it no my original LG micro USB cable I have? I have an original cable of the LG G3 an the cable from Nexus 5 2013. Wil it damage my Nexus 5X?
The seller has a 100% feedback score and a considerable amount of shipped adapters.
Thanks in advance.
I would use a adapter for data and power charging but I wouldn't be confident at flashing till you know it's safe,
Since its official it should be fine, I got cheap generic ones for my cables. It's only charging so its fine

My adapter didn't work either. I bought a special cable, which works.
Buy a USB Type-C to USB-A female adapter, those microUSB to USB Type-C doesn't work with OTG.
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

in the market now there are not many options
and the anker were cheaper than belkin

I can use none google usb cable to charge pixel6pro but I cannot charge oneplus8pro by google usb cable.
Is there any secret on google usb cable ? Will it is clue to brick pixel6pro if using none google usb cable ?
You can use any quality cable. The only other brand other than an OEM cable that I trust is Anker, although I've gotten lucky with some (now discontinued) random name brands.

It is the OnePlus cable isn't a standard USB cable it is a propitiatory standard, that said any good quality cable should still charge the OnePlus phone but only at 15W (if memory serves).
Anker all the way for me as well, i cannot remember the last time i used the cable that came with a phone.
As mentioned by @MrBelter it's the OnePlus cable that's the issue.
I've had this cable for about 4 years (see link), and used it on the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 4 XL, and Samsung Galaxy S21 with no issues...still using the same came on my P6P.

OnePlus either uses firmware within the USB connector, or a specific resistance value to determine if the cable is an OP cable and it's likely they do so to limit legal liability from users who unintentionally try to push 3A - 5A through a cable not designed to handle current that high.
Folks have unintentionally used shoddy USB cables to charge a smartphone that resulted in the death of the user.
When folks speak about a "quality" cable, it's referring to the wire gauge of the cable, as it's the gauge of the wire that dictates how much current can safely pass through the wire without causing it to overheat from the high resistance caused by pushing more current through the cable than the cable is designed to carry.
A quality manufacturer will list the gauge of the wires within a USB cable and if a listing doesn't have the wire gauge listed, my rule of thumb is it can handle no more than 10W (5V @ 2A). MonoPrice is a well known manufacturer of quality cables and they lifetime guarantee all their cables with a no-hassle lifetime warranty.
