I wanted to start a thread directly related to cables that are confirmed "charging rapidly." There are a handful of posts around here that talk about usb A to C but I had a hard time finding cables that actually brought the message up on my phone. Lastly before I start the list I wanted to mention that I understand the Nexus 5X I usb 2.0 only but just due to a future proofing mentality I prefer 3.0 cables.
I will update this thread accordingly as more people post results of cables that do support fast charging. During the testing make sure you are using a charger that supports high amperage output. I am using the following charger that supports 3.0 amp output per port.

I totally understand. I have been reading all of the reviews that he has been posting. I will update the OP with approved cables later today if possible.
FWIW, the Juiced Systems cable shows 'Charging Rapidly' for me...
FWIW, https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_to_usb_standard_a_plug_cable is back in stock.
iOrange-E cable shows rapid charge for me. Cost of cable has gone way up though though since I picked up mine. Probably not worth it.
I really hope this thread continues and gets more updates

Here is the link to the Juiced cable I bought:
Juiced Systems USB-C
The charger is an iClever charger, don't have any details on it...
I have a Pecham branded A to C cable bought from Amazon for £6.59 so approx $10. Its well made, braided with metal housings for the connectors. Charging with this one shows Charging rapidly on the lockscreen.
I also have an A to C cable direct from the Google store £10 ($15) Also good quality but slimmer and much more flexible than the Pecham.
I only see Charging on the lockscreen using this one.
Despite the differences the Ampere app indicates a charge rate of Approx 1700mAH for both cables!
For these tests I used an Anker Powercore 20100 battery pack and an Anker 40W 5 port mains charger. charge rates were identical.

It is interesting that you were able to get this cable to register as charging rapidly. It is the exact same cable that I bought and returned and with a 3A charger it did not register as charging rapidly on my phone. For right now I will leave this cable in the category that it is in until further confirmation. I wonder if it is a charger specific thing?

Up until tonight I didn't realize that charging rapidly does not show every time. I will dig into this further this week. I will also be adding the official OEM A to C cable from Google to the list.
I'm confused, I thought USB A to C can only suppose 2.4A max
You're using a charging brick that uses 3A output, does that mean .6A does not get used?

Ironically "fast charging cables" are just out-of-specification cables, so if you want them just pay $1 for cables on eBay.

The OEM Google cable display's fast charging and that is not out of spec. Really the purpose of this thread is to find cables that are actually following the USB spec and allowing the message "charging rapidly" to display on your phone. I understand that the max a cable that is to spec. will put out is 2.4A.

The OEM Google cable (USB-A to USB-C) does not fast charge when you plug it into a non-fast charging compatible source (such as a PC's USB ports).
Any USB-C cable should be capable of fast charging when plugged into an adapter rated for 3A current draw.
Cables that are not to spec will allow the phone to "charge rapidly" when it should not be charging rapidly.

It displays fast charging because C -> C allows for more amps to be drawn

I agree with that, but there are certain cables that still follow the A -> C spec and allow "charging rapidly" when paired with the proper charger. I know they won't be capable of the full 2.8A - 3.0A but they can allow a max of 2.4A, and that's something that is ok with me.
Hello,
So I just ordered a Nexus 5X. I am trying to figure out what the deal is with the issues with some USB C cable and what is the best option for aftermarket chargers.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems USB A to USB C cables are 2.4A max. USB C to USB C are 3A max. So the way to obtain the fastest charging possible is to have a 3A wall plug and a 3A capable USB C to USB C cable?
I am content with the OEM charger for the house, so I am mainly trying to figure out what to get for a charger for my car. Should I be looking for a 3 Amp car plug and a 3 Amp cable? Or am I looking for 2.4A / 2.4A? I am totally confused.
Also, I read somewhere that the Nexus 5X has a chip on the logic board that makes it fully compatible for Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0, and that it may be available later on through an update. Anyone heard this? If so I may as well get Quickcharge 3.0 products.
If someone could please explain this whole USB C ordeal I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You!
EDIT:
I figured it all out. I ended up order the following:
Cable Matters 3.3ft USB to USB C Cable ( This will be my data / sync cable)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU2OC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
Cable Matters 3.3ft USB C to USB C Cable ( This will be for my car)

Vinsic 3A USB C Car Charger (This has a USB C and a USB Port)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014F2NQ36?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
The Cable Matters USB to USB C has been confirmed compliant by Benson Leung so I wont have to worry about it frying any USB ports on my computer. lol

Sounds like you got the info just right. What's important about A to C is the resistor used and that it meets specifications. If not it'll be asking a charger for 3.0A when it can't give it possibly leading to burning out the charger. For me, I got the Elegiant A to C cables (which are compliant) for older ports since C isn't as readily available. Good for old car chargers, old wall chargers, hotel rooms, shopping center charging stations, etc. C to C is necessary for full rapid charging so I'm waiting for a car charger and compact battery bank that support 3.0A type C.

Here is a good list of compliant cables, I wish I saw this before I ordered my cable.

Thank you for clarifying. I thought I had it right I just wanted to make sure.
Also, I came across a 3A car charger. I already ordered it. There were a couple reviews that stated it wouldn't run at 3A, but there were also reviews stating that it does run on 3A IF you use the USB C port only. (It has a USB and a USB C Port) So I am assuming the people who had issues were probably using the USB side.

I can't find the article I read that stated QC 3.0 (I think they were wrong anyways), but I did hop over to the iFixit Nexus 5X tear down page. I remembered that they always list the IC's on logic boards for their tear downs. Sure enough, the Nexus 5X has the Qualcomm SMB1358 Quick Charge 2.0 IC.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X+Teardown/51318
Is there an advantage to charging with a USB C to A cable? From what I understand, USB C to C supports 3.0 Amps while USB C to A only supports 2.4 Amps. I currently find no problems with the stock N5X C to C charger other than that it's too short. However, I'm having difficulty finding longer C to C cables? Do they need to be compliant to specific specs?
I ordered a C to A cable for data transfer but unfortunately I found out that it doesn't meet spec. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017IBHXHG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
I still use it right now and it works fine but i'm just worried it might damage my computer so in the future i'll have to order one that Benson recommended.
Like you, I thought the C to C cable that came with the phone is too short. I like to keep my phone on top of my dresser at night, and the cable just won't reach. I've had a 6-ft micro USB cable for years that has been awesome with a couple different phones. So I was a little disappointed when I had to stop using it.
I ordered a 6-ft C to C cable from Monoprice (you can find it easily on their website). I'd highly recommend it. It came packaged nicely, and the quality of the cable feels the same as the original Google cable. My phone says it is rapidly charging when I connect that cable to the Google charger. I'm not a hardware expert, but I would expect it's getting the full 3 Amps because both ends are type C. Benson has not reviewed this cable, but it is to spec as far as I can tell. As far as I know, the issues with cables being out of spec are only really problematic for C to A cables, where the phone will attempt to draw more current than the A spec is rated for.

Thanks, i'll check it out. I've heard the same thing about USB C to A so that's why i'm going to stick to charging with C to C when possible.
Not a great looking review for the Elephone P9000 USB C type by the well respected Benson Leung
on Google+ as part of their ongoing trawl through the dodgy cables being sold as safe. (See previous https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/s0Inv)
Here Benson is suggesting that there are potential risks with using the USB Type C cable supplied with the Elephone P9000.
Disclaimer : though I am linking to a brand new Type-C phone this is NOT a phone review. As I mentioned previously, I do not review phones. Instead, this is an accessory warning, for the cable that ships with that phone.
One of my colleagues recently bought a brand new P9000 from +Elephone Mobile. It came with a USB A-to-C cable and he was curious if it was a good cable, so he brought it to me.
My testing shows that this cable violates the #USB #TypeC specification. It uses a 10kΩ resistor where it should have used a 56kΩ resistor as mandated by the USB Type-C Specification.
This cable is potentially dangerous, as when combined with a Type-C device that can fast charge, it may damage Type-A chargers, hubs, or PC USB ports that are not designed for the current draw from new USB Type-C devices.
Please see my FAQ for more info :
https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/HakwCMmd346
+Elephone Mobile, please immediately stop bundling these cables, and let your customers know to be very careful with the A-to-C cable that ships with this device.
By the way, this all may be very familiar to other users, because another phone manufacturer from China, +OnePlus, shipped a bad cable with their phone last year as well.
http://www.elephonestore.com/elephone-p9000-deca-core-4g-phone.html
As you can see there also may be an issue with the charger.
I bought some Anker USB C adaptors for now (quite cheap and work) but will raise this on the ELEPHONE forums.
Anybody else had issues?

Oh dear! Thanks for raising awareness. I was going to buy the fast charger anyway - this will speed that decision up!
good to know. im waiting for some usb c cables that should be benson approved. Tronsmart 2pack.
so, is the cable bad to use with qualcomm 2\3 chargers?
It looks bad with everything. Shame really as it seems to work but judging from the research carried out it looks really dodgy. Elephone need to rethink this.
How do you know if you have a bad cable?

My bundled elephone cable didn't connect to the phone properly, the metal shroud covered part of the connector so it couldn't seat home fully. I had to slide the metal back, after heating it, to get the phone to charge. Couldn't get the PC to connect to the phone at all! I was very worried that the phone was faulty when I first got it, and was hoping that the cable was the problem.
I've since bought an "elephas" brand qi wireless charger and that's great! A well made piece of kit that doubles as a nightstand. It runs on a standard microusb connector.
I also bought a braided type "C" cable for the PC, its a brand called KNIPS, it feels like a good quality cable heavy and fairly inflexible, though it tends to hold shape if bent. That works very well to charge, and to transfer data between the phone and the PC.
My next purchase will be a QI charger for the car - more when that arrives, later.
Hot battery?
If anybody suffers from a very hot battery (heißer Akku) while charging, you should consider to buy a correct USB C cable vor one of these little Anker adaptors (see thr reviews at the top).
Which cable?
Please could somone post the part number for a cable that I'd safe - anker or tronsmart. I'm not clear on the USB version for the p9000
Where can I buy a compitable charger? The one that came with the phone isn't compatible according to Checkr.
Any good quality with max. 2000mah MicroUsb adapter (I use at work an Samsung travel adapter one on both USB-Type C phones) with corresponding USB-Type C adapter is suitable to charge you're phone or directly an USB-Type C adapter.

Last night I put my phone on the charger using the supplied wall plug and a USB cable I bought from Amazon (linked below). After a few minutes there was a spark and a loud bang with a burning smell from the socket. I have now tried to charge the phone with the actual cable supplied by Elephone and a different wall plug but the phone no longer charges. It still works though as the battery isnt yet dead. I plan on returning it to Amazon with the hope of getting a new one. This time around getting an Anker wall plug and USB cable to hopefully avoid these problems in the future.

Any microusb to type c adapter is safe?
Do you have any further discussion to support that statement? I would have assumed that cheap adapters can be just as dangerous as cheap cables.
A normal MicroUsb Charger not have more than 2000mah power so an adapter from MicroUsb to Usb tip C will not be a problem to charge the Usb C phone only will take more time depending on chargers power. From Usb C charger to MicroUSB I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Bad charger Quality (high voltage or else) or problems with sockets (dust or water in sockets from wear in pockets) or bad cable. I used an original Samsung charger with 500mah power and my cheapest MicroUSB to USB-Type C adapter and never had problems with it.

Good morning. Thank you for this site.
Wanting to replace original aawireless cable.
Is the cable USB 3.0 Type C into a USB Type A 2.0?
Thanks in advance. Mike.
I've had a tough time trying to replace my original cable, which works the best for me, it's just longer than I need in my car.
The cable type for you depends on your car, as it's USB C on the AAW end, and USB A for MOST cars on the other end. Some cars might be USB C on the other end as they are more recent.
The big issue is if it's a high quality data cable, not just a charging cable.
I'm on the lookout for a 30cm or 1 foot cable, USB C - USB A.

There is no such thing. It's either 3.1 or 2.0, the ends can't be different. Either should work.
Just buy a quality cable. Anker and Monoprice are well respected.

Ever had the feeling of Déjà Vu? I hear it smells like spam.
This model works perfect, at least the 25cm one that I bought

Thanks for these specific cable recs. Hopefully saved me some hassle
If you don't need an actual cable, I've been using one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0936PJC2J/ and it's been great.
I have this cable for my car - https://satechi.net/products/usb-c-to-usb-c-gen-2-flat-cable?variant=29948515057752
