Like the cables of so many, mine is splitting in multiple places. I don't trust Amazon reviews thanks to product cloning and review farming, and since cable failure is such a common issue, I figured our community might have arrived at a few favorite options by now.

I advise not buying 100W USB-C cables any more. Step up to 240W cables, which also work at the 100W level. Same current rating (5A), but the construction is certified for use at 48V for 240W power delivery. For less demanding applications like charging your phone on the go you can buy 60W cables; they're rated for less current (3A) so they can be thinner.
