Maxonar 2Pack USB C Charger Cable (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10Gbps) for Android Auto, QC 3.0/PD Charging, 3M/10ft
Product description
What it is and why you might want it
This Maxonar 2Pack is a USB-C charging and data cable aimed at people who want one lead that can do day-to-day fast charging, plus genuinely quick file transfer when you connect your phone to a PC or external storage. It’s also positioned for in-car use via Android Auto, so it’s not just a basic “charge-only” cable.
On paper, the headline is the USB 10Gbps data rate (USB 3.1 Gen 2 / USB 3.2 Gen 2-class), plus Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support for power delivery. The length is another practical detail: one cable is 3M/10ft, which is often exactly what you need if your car setup or desk charging point doesn’t sit close to the device.
The essentials (data speed, charging, and Android Auto use)
The cable is described as supporting 10Gbps SuperSpeed data transfer, claimed as faster than USB 3.0-style speeds. If you regularly move photos or videos between your mobile and a laptop/external SSD, that spec is the bit that matters most.
For charging, it’s described as supporting USB-C power delivery up to 5V/3.1A and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. It also mentions a “56KΩ pull-up resistor” intended to help provide a safer charging current and protect the cable/charger behaviour.
For Android Auto, the brand calls out a longer, higher-durability cable build: double-braided nylon exterior, an aramid fibre core, and laser-welded connectors. That’s the sort of construction you care about if the cable gets bent, tugged, and moved around in a car.
If you’re picturing the common routine—phone on the seat/centre console, cable to the head unit, then you plug in a laptop at home to offload a library—this cable bundle is built for those two scenarios.
What stands out in real life
A couple of things are easy to appreciate even without lab testing.
First, the “2Pack” format is genuinely useful. If you keep one cable permanently in the car and one at home/work, you’re less likely to end up hunting for the right lead.
Second, the combination of 10Gbps data transfer and QC 3.0/PD-style charging support suggests it’s aimed at reducing compromises: you’re not forced into slower transfer speeds when you want to back up media.
Third, the stated build materials matter if you’re rough with cables. Double-braided nylon and a stronger core are a sensible approach for longer runs like 3M/10ft.
Worth noting, though: “10Gbps” only helps if your phone and the other device/cable path actually support that high-speed mode end-to-end. If your setup negotiates lower speeds, you won’t magically get the full figure.
Tech summary
Tech specs

- Charging support: Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0
- Power delivery mentioned: up to 5V/3.1A for USB-C charging

- Safety detail mentioned: 56KΩ pull-up resistor
Compatibility and requirements (double-check before buying)
The compatibility list in the provided details is broad, including a range of Samsung Galaxy models, Google Pixel phones, OnePlus models, various other Android devices, and iPhone 16 Pro / iPhone 16 Pro Max (as listed). It also mentions portable SSD usage and Android Auto cable functionality.
However, compatibility is one of those areas where “it works with many devices” can still have caveats. You’ll want to confirm your exact phone model supports USB-C data and Android Auto over USB in the way you expect, and that your car head unit supports the Android Auto connection method.
It’s also described as “compliant with USB 3.1 standard” and positioned for USB-A to USB-C charging/data. If your charging source uses a different port type, you’ll need to account for that.
Who it suits—and who should be cautious
It makes sense if you want a single USB-C cable for: - Android Auto connections where you benefit from a longer lead (3M/10ft) - Faster-than-basic data transfers when moving media to a PC or external SSD - Quick charging routines that rely on QC 3.0 / USB-C charging behaviours
It might not be the best match if: - you only ever charge slowly and don’t care about data speeds (in that case, a cheaper simpler cable can be “good enough”) - your phone/car setup doesn’t support the higher-speed transfer mode you’re buying for - you need a very specific length other than 3M/10ft (this is built around that longer run)
Buying verdict
If you’re after a durable USB-C cable bundle that covers Android Auto plus high-speed-ish data transfer on paper, the Maxonar 2Pack is the kind of purchase that can save hassle—especially if you routinely split your cables between home and car.
Just don’t treat the 10Gbps figure as a guaranteed outcome unless your devices negotiate the same capabilities. If they do, you should appreciate the intent behind this cable, if not, it still functions as a charging/data USB-C lead, but the “fast transfer” pitch may be less noticeable.
It’s a sensible buy for commuters and frequent media movers who want fewer cable compromises. Skip it if you’re buying purely for charging and you’d rather spend less on something simpler.
