I bought a new docking station that powers dual monitors, has 5 USB ports, and charges a computer...the only problem: it didnt come with the needed usb c cable. I ordered these USB C cables so that I could quickly swap between laptops...plug in, charge, and use my work laptop while I'm working all day, then swap out and use my Macbook Air on weekends when I'm working on side projects. Both cables are thicker and more robust than I'd expected and charge my machine at a full 60W (what the docking station is rated for) on top of driving both monitors and USB ports. No issues from me - cables seem like they will last while...and dont get hot or anything.
