Anker PowerLine III Flow USB-C to USB-C 100W Cable 6ft
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The specification people get caught by is data, not power. This carries 100 W and USB 2.0 data at 480 Mbps -- fine for charging, useless for driving a monitor or moving large files, and physically indistinguishable from a 40 Gbps cable that costs four times as much. The E-marker chip is what makes 100 W possible at all: without one, any USB-C cable is capped at 60 W no matter what the charger can supply.
Who should buy this
Anyone wanting a reliable, genuinely soft 100 W charging cable.
Who should avoid this
Anyone needing video output or fast file transfer -- this is USB 2.0 data.

No notes
E-marked for a genuine 100 W, where uncertified cables cap at 60 W. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Silicone stays soft in cold and does not retain coils. Nothing has surprised me in six weeks.

Be ready for one thing — USB 2.0 data only
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: USB 2.0 data only — no video output, no fast transfer. Silicone attracts dust and lint visibly. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: E-marked for a genuine 100 W, where uncertified cables cap at 60 W. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Holding up so far
Had this most of a year now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Silicone stays soft in cold and does not retain coils. Still mildly irritated by one thing: USB 2.0 data only — no video output, no fast transfer. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.
