What is your recommendation for a dock that comes with a power supply?
Those dell, lenovo and hp usb c docks all come with one. Usually up to 180w I believe.
When I had the same issue a few months after receiving my FW13, I notified Framework support, sent them pictures and received a new cable from them that's been working fine ever since.
Incharge or the Apple ones.
For charging or charging and data? For charging I like the Anker braided ones. Just bought a 10ft, 100W cable but as with all charging cables the data rate is only 480Mbps.
To replace the USB-C portion of the Framework power cable, so just charging.
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.
Have you purchased one that you'd recommend?
Anker 240 watt 10 foot cable is 20% off on Amazon right now. I've used one for my galaxy phones superfast charging 2.0 and one for fw 13
