What length charging cable do you use?

#1

I prefer different lengths for different uses, what is your opinion?

#2

With something like the Anker 5-port charger, I like to use the shortest cables I can find. 5 long cables seem to get tangled in no time!

#3

i agree, need to buy some short 1 foot cables for the multi charger…

regular cables take up too much room on the charging stand

#4

3’ in most places. 6’ by my bedstand, 6" at work.

#5

.5ft for power banks
6 feet for wall adapters.
simple.

#6

I use a 6ft at the nightstand, 3ft at the kitchen counter and a 1ft in the vehicle. Bother the kitchen and nightstand cables have a wireless charging pad attached.

#7

I have a couple 3 ft and 6ft cables. It depends on what length I need as to which one I use.

#8

I find that 3’ tied down to about 1.5-2" work best. We have two stations side by side and it allows for some spacing for the devices. By the bed and at my workspace I use 6", and in the kitchen 10".

#9

I use 1ft cables for charging with the Anker portable chargers and 6ft for charging with the Anker USB hub.

#10

I just average use 3ft length cables from anker of course

Well, ever since I started primarily using a phone with USB-C, that’s changed. But I used to use:
6-10 ft at my bed-stand. In lieu of using another charger (I have a dual-port), I had a 15 ft cable running across the back of my bed.
At work I used a 6ft cable
In my car I use a 3ft cable
When using the battery pack, it depends. I prefer the short cables (less loss of charge, and more compact); however sometimes I use 3-6 ft cables, and just keep my battery in a backpack if I’m walking around.

For now though, I have USB-C cables; 2 USB-C to USB-C cables, 3ft and the stock for pixel (I think it’s 4 ft), and a few 3ft USB-A to USB-C cables. I just ordered some more though; I really like 6-10ft ones for home by my bed or on the floor by my couch.

Seems to be the norm, but I use the 6’ by my bed and 3’ elsewhere.
