I dangled 56 pounds off this retractable USB cable, and the worst didn't happen
"This cable has everything I need. First, it's good for 100W of power transfer, which isn't the full 140W that things like my MacBook Pro can handle, but it's more than good enough for my on-the-go needs. It has a built-in E-marker chip, so it's detected by any device that can use high-speed charging, allowing the correct, safest power to be negotiated for every device."
"The flat, ribbon-style cable resists tangles and abrasion, extends out to 3.3 feet/1 meter, can lock out at four convenient preset lengths, and retracts neatly into a package that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand or your pocket -- and we all know how tangled cables can get in a pocket. Also: This handy USB meter tells you what's actually going on with your ports - and it's only $20"
The Ugreen Nexode retractable USB-C cable features a flat, ribbon-style design that resists tangles and abrasion and extends to 3.3 feet (1 meter). The cable locks at four convenient preset lengths and retracts into a palm-sized housing for neat storage. It supports up to 100W power transfer and includes a built-in E-marker chip to enable correct high-speed charging negotiation with compatible devices. The retractable mechanism operates smoothly and is rated for heavy use; Ugreen claims a 28 kg (56 lb) pull tolerance, and a 56-pound weight test demonstrated robust strength. The 100W rating suits typical mobile charging needs though it is below some 140W laptop maximums.
