Do you mean for charging, for data transfer or for both ?

Sorry yes to both

Just picked a 3 ft one up at Monoprice for $6.08 shipped.

Suggest a 2amp+ Charger and a USB cable

Guys I broke my local 2amp charger.
Plase sugget a 2amp charger (2.1 will do too I think) and a USB cable (fast) which can handle a little rough handling! Length atleast 1-1.5m

I use Samsung adapter... It's quite durable
For the cable I use a extension cable with the USB cable 2.5 meters

I use the OnePlus charger along with the OnePlus cable, for an alternative, try Rock data cables as the OnePlus cables are pretty pricey.

What's a good usb c to c cable that is greater than 6ft?

Both cables included with the 6p are too short for my use cases. I've bought a C to USB 2 cable but I'm having trouble finding USB C cables longer than 6ft. Also I've noticed that there are plenty of issues with cables that are advertised as rated as one thing but really another

I like the one+ cables. I know they are not over 6ft but just a suggestion.....I have a USB extention cable....USB A male to USB A female that I keep in our minivan. It allows any charging cable to stretch across the entire vehicle for long trips when kids/passengers battery is low on any device. They are cheap and worth using if you are using a USB A to USB C....if it's C to C then I'm of no help to you lol

Isn't there a issue with the cable in that it's 2a vs 3a? And yeah primarily concerned with c to c to replace the one packaged with the phone

A cable is a cable, but will be rated to carry a certain amount of power with a certain amount of losses. The longer the run, the more the losses.
Longest I've been able to find are 6.6ft. Cable Matters is one that uses metric and so is a little longer than a 6ft cable. PECHAM C32 [2 Pack] 6.6ft USB 3.1 Type C Cable USB-C to USB-C Male Reversible.

My experience buying non-Google fast charging chargers and cables for my Nexus 6p

I bought a second hand Nexus 6p last week, without a charger. I ordered a charger and cable from amazon uk:
The charger: USB Type-C Charger, Tronsmart 27W Dual Port USB C Wall Charger for Nexus 5X/6P, S7, HTC 10, LG G5 and Other USB-C Phones and iPhone Android Device £13.55 ($17)
Cable: 'USB Type C Cable, CableCreation Super Speed Gen 2 (10Gbps) USB 3.1 Type C Male to Male Cable' which cost £11.99 ($15).
I could only get normal charging, no fast/rapid, so I ordered replacements of both as amazon prime allows free returns.
I ordered a iKits (CE/FCC Verified) 5V3A Type-C AC USB Wall Charger/Travel Charge, USB-C 15W for Macbook, Google Chromebook Pixel, Google Nexus 5X 6P & etc. Universal US AU UK EU Plug Adapter included Black, £10.99 ($14)
USB Type C Cable, CHOETECH Hi-speed USB-C to USB-C Cable 3.3ft(1m) for USB Type-C Devices Including LG G5, the new MacBook, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P. £4.99 ($6)
I tested with the original Tronsmart charger, but the new cable, the Choetech and wow, rapid/fast charging! The cable was half the price of my original choice, yet allows for greater charging speeds. I have today sent the Cable Creation cable back.
I will test the iKits charger tonight.
I find it helpful to have two chargers, especially since nothing else in my house uses USB C, and if one got stolen at work, I like to have a backup. I will keep you guys posted on the iKits.
I hope this helps anyone who needs a replacement charger for their 6P
NB: I am not sponsored, or paid, etc.. I struggled to find info on this myself and figured I can't be the only one.

update:
Both the Tronsmart and iKits charger fast/rapid charge my nexus. I returned the cable and got a cheap Tronsmart USB C cable and it works as well for fast/rapid charging.
So I now have two different brands, in my opinion affordable too, chargers and two different cheap USB C cables that all support fast charging. Very pleased.
Hope this helps!

thank you for the information, i was looking for alternative charger also.

As long as you stick with the better 3rf party stuff you will be OK. I am personally not a fan of Tronsmart, but Anker has yet to let me down.

USB to USB type c cable

Hi all I want to get a USB to USB c cable so I can charge my phone in the car.
Will any on ebay work or is there some specific one that works better?

I found most of the cables from eBay to be cheap and not offer a full charge Amazon offers some descent cables and can get full reviews on each one. I went through the same thing rushed to Walmart and picked one up

If you want rapid charging you need to look for one that either has a USB-C port on the charger (like the stock charger) or one that has a dedicated cable for USB-C that will output 5V/3A. Any charger or cable that uses USB-A will only provide a maximum of 2.4A and will not "rapid charge". This includes QC2 and QC3 which our phone does not support.

Hey there, are you open to using a car adapter? I purchased a Vinsic car adapter which has both USB type C and A ports. It was reviewed favorably by Googler Benson Leung among other products that are fully compliant with USB type C guidelines. It has worked fantastic for me in the year that I've owned this product along with my Nexus 5X. This has been used 3 to 6 times a week.

Thanks all for your help and advice

I got one from eBay that is 10 ft and works really great! It was also not very expensive and a better charger then the short one that came with the phone
