E-mark cables?

[Mooncatt]

Has anyone found a 6 foot earmarked cable yet that would work? Haven't been able to find one yet.

A couple have been suggested in this thread, but ignore any reference to being e-marked. I pointed to one example the other day. Here's a second e-marked cable that would NOT be compatible.

I've already explained why that is above, and I would hate to see anyone buy the wrong cable because they are hung up on a component that is not exclusive to the USB 3.1 Gen 2 spec that the N10+ requires.

Well, that sucks. Guess I will just stick with my Note 8 charger and 6 foot Anker cord until something better comes along. The cable that comes with the phone is a complete joke.

Is there any negative to using my old Note 8 charger with my 10+, other than it obviously won't charge as fast?

You'll be fine.

That cable would not give you full capabilities, as it is USB 2.0, not 3.1 Gen 2. The cable @Casper4 linked to would be fully compatible, but I can't personally speak to its quality.

Just to follow up on this, I actually ordered that 6 foot Anker cord that I linked to above and was prepared to return it but when I tested it out over the weekend, it was giving me the same charging time as with the cord that came with my 10+. So, I guess it does work?

It may be fine for the stock 25W charger, but it wouldn't be compatible with the 45W PPS charger. That would still limit you to similar power of the stock charger or less. The more I think about it and see results from the Samsung 45W PPS charger, I think that's overkill on this phone anyway and don't recommend it right now. For now, enjoy what you have until more real world tests with the Samsung 45W PPS charger come out. I've seen some estimates claiming 0-100% in 40 min, but I don't see that being feasible.

On reddit one guy tested it - 1h 3 min.

Oh, yeah, I was referring to the 25 watt one. And I agree about the 45 watt not being a big deal. I wish Samsung had the 25 watts that you could order online, I'd rather save money and order a few of those too have around.

It looks like a lot of the overlooked info to take full advantage of the 45watt charger is the difference in the cable being used. I'm trying to find the most reliable e-marked USB-C cables. I was trying to go with Anker, as I have a few of their products now, but I didn't see any info on their site about e-mark cables.

Anyone have any other recommendations?

Cable must be USB 3.1, Gen 2 (5A). And buy this so you never have to guess:
