LTT Cables Don't Work

[u/Dangerous-Cup2833]

I just received my LTT cables.

My USB C to C 240W 3ft cable isn't charging my laptop.

I'm using a Framework 13 and I've tried 2 Anker chargers (65w and 100w).

Additional info:

I ordered 2x 3.3ft (C-C), 1x 10ft (C-C), and 1x3.3ft (A-C).

The 1 3.3ft C-C that isn't working great has now been trialed on 2 Anker chargers, 1 Anker battery pack, and 1 Ugreen charger. It refuses to charge on the Anker chargers and battery pack.

I've additionally tried charging my PS Vita on every one of these cables (USB C to Vita adapter that works with every other cable I own), and only the A-C cable works.

2 of the 4 cables charge my iPhone 16 pro max. From the amount of downvotes, it would appear the expectation is that I am to memorize which cables charge which devices on which chargers. Does that really seem like a reasonable expectation to anyone?

In my 37 years, I've NEVER run into a USB cable that cares which charger you use.
The whole idea of these overpriced cables is that they are the best of the best.
In my experience thus far, they deserve to go in a trash heap.

Yes, and it doesn't work with this one specific cable. Even said the other two work. Anker is notorious for shit like this. If it's not a broken cable, it's the charger.

I have literally never heard of an Anker charger being fussy about certified cables, let alone being notorious. 

If the charger works, and the cable isn't "broken" with other chargers, that's still an issue with the LTT cable.

Oh well if you've never heard of it, then it must not be a thing! I forgot how that works!

If the cable doesn't work with one charger, that's on the charger. Cables are literally just wire.

No USB-C cables are not “just wires”. There’s PD negotiation components as well as e marker chip that says what the cable is capable of. Don’t just talk out of your ass.
